Simple adjustments make electrolysis 60% efficient and over. And we are talking about reactant levels of hydrogen and not fuel replacement levels. 30% electrolysis efficiency would do fine. The current needed to run a good stereo system is all that is needed to produce the required hydrogen to effect a passenger car engine. 140 watts is a fractional load on the engine even after electromechanical losses. If other physical parameters are juggled correctly, the existing fuel stream in concert with the hydrogen results in a measurable increase in cylinder pressure over the effective crank angles - hence, an increase in BMEP.
