My bad man, your right, its a law. But my point was that this law only applies to self contained energy systems. The separation of water molecules takes a small ammount of energy. The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen to create water releases a large ammount of heat and pressure energy adding to the available activation energy for the combustion of gasoline vapors. This may not actually in itself create more energy in your engine, but it might improve the conditions under which the normal combustion reaction occurs reducing emmissions and improving thermodynamic efficiency. Of course with the faster combustion you should retard timing a bit.
When I get this thing going for myself I will transfer my Emanage from my eclipse to my mirage so I can build timing and fuel adjustments to tune this for best gains. Until then, lets encourage people to at least give all these ideas a shot instead of beating the hopes and dreams out of people as if we were an oil company.
