The hydrogen is supposed to speed up the fuel burn and allow the engine to run on a lean mixture. I haven't tried it myself but I've read about it from several sources and believe it should work. It was recently discussed on a "Coast to Coast AM" radio program. You can read about it here:

I think that the fuel economy improvement might not be much unless the fuel system is modified for a leaner mixture. I think it might also be useful to mix some steam with the intake air.
