Of course, if such engine gained even a fraction of a percent in efficiency, you would have to report as such. And since you used the word "NEVER", you would have to leave yourself discredited on these forums. Are you willing to take such a challenge? I am willing. We could run the buildup over the winter and build up the drama. All the HHO "Nuts" against you the "Sheriff of Science". Meet on the 4th of July, at high noon in your neck of the woods.

In one hundred years of internal combustion history, that challenge has been extended to HHO proponents and never met. Good luck with that. And please go ahead and discredit me, and thermodynamics as well, it would be an honor -- that is what the scientific method is all about.
However, if you cannot see how basic energy conversion concepts govern your experiments, you will be at a disadvantage in controlling your experiments and understanding what helps or hurts fuel mileage.

Sounds good to me.
