I realize HHO, brown gas, hydrogen generators don't work. But I am a little curious. Is there any benefit in the combustion to adding hydrogen or is all the claimed benefit from the HHO people from tricking sensors? I've read some articles about how it might help like the combustion of diesel like a CNG or LPG additive. I'm only asking for curiosity purposes, but if one were to use hydrogen like it was a propane injection system on a diesel would it improve mileage? Not taking into account the cost of hydrogen of course. Again I'm just curious about hydrogen actually burning in the engine, if at all.
