For those who think HHO is a practical alternative, why not just run your car on HHO? If it is an alternative to gasoline or diesel and you have a mileage increase just keep adding your HHO bubblers until you are running on pure HHO. Couldn't be more simple, right?

I did some checking a few years back and one liter of HHO has the BTU energy content of one and one half wooden kitchen matches. The only "fuel" is the hydrogen, which by atomic weight is only 1/8 th the mass of the mixture.

Lets say you need 2 ounces of gasoline to go 1 mile, thats 64 MPG, exceptional mileage. Now take your calculated number of liters of HHO your system produces per minute. If it was 50 liters a minute then you have 75 wooden matches worth of energy to move you car 1 mile.

Now lets say your car gets 64 MPG and uses 2 ounces of gasoline to move that same mile.

Take that two ounces of gasoline and run it through a fuel injector over an ignition source. Compare that flame to your pile of 75 wooden matches burned all at the same time.

You can rationalize the HHO theorey to the end of time, but most people with any common sense would know that 2 ounces of gas atomized through any decent fuel injector is going to produce a heck of a lot more flame and heat, compared to 75 wooden matches. The expansion of that heated air and fuel is what makes your car move.

The two ounces of atmoized fuel would give you an idea of the energy requred to get 64 MPG at 64 MPG. 75 burnt wooden matches is not even a fraction of the energy required and thats at a rate of production of 50 liters per minute. Double that number of matches, 100 liters per minute and you still would not come close to that two ounces of gasoline. Thats 6000 liters of HHO per hour, anyone got a generator that comes close to that?
