It seems you still have not grasped the chemistry and thermodynamics involved. For an HHO unit to "work" to improve fuel efficiency, the electrolysis process would have to operate at greater than 500% efficiency. Was thermodynamics not part of your curriculum? Processes do not operate at 100% efficiency, let alone over 100%. So yes, to work, you'd need "free energy", "perpetual motion" "over unity" etc. Your HHO unit would need to be magically efficient.

The reason people are concerned is that millions of dollars have been bilked from unsuspecting marks. That's why the FTC got involved in putting Dennis Lee out of the HHO business. We can stand by and let it go on, or we can do something constructive by not accepting illogical arguments that try to suggest there is some scale at which onboard electrolysis works to improve fuel efficiency.

It is not "just adding a second source of fuel" at all. Water is not a fuel. Hydrogen can be split from water with a large energy investment... which comes from where: Zero point? Sky? Prayers? No. It comes from the fuel in the tank.
