I am building an HHO system of my own.. and in my research I keep hearing the "Law of conservation of energy" thrown around... GTEClass is right.. this only applies to a isolated closed system.. "A powers B and then B powers A"... This is not such a system.

My system will be electrically isolated from the trucks primary power. I will be adding a second high amperage charging system to power this device. Because it is only a supplement to the fuel, The primary power is derived from the petrol. So the scenario goes like this:


A = petrol

B = HHO Gas

C = Engine

D = Charging system

E = Electrical system

F = HHO system

A powers C
C provides energy to D
D converts motion to electricity
D supplies E with power
E provides F with power
F produces B
B + A powers C (But not needed to continue)

The key here is that petrol alone will sustain the HHO system reaction and the gas could just be vented and the motor will continue to run. The introduction of the gas to the system only improves the efficiency.

Hardware will determine the success of the system. You will want a high amp alternator that will produce a surplus over the amp draw the HHO device requirements.

There is question of whether or not the power draw of the alternator will counteract the addition of the HHO gas..

But there are also other factors that could push it into the black.. like solar cells and maybe even wind energy from the cars motion to supplement the system and help provide a positive influx of energy into the system.

Sorry for my rant... but i have been putting allot of thought into this and felt you might like to hear my conclusions...

in the end... theory is only going to take this so far... the rest is application and testing... until you actually try.. how can anyone say that it is not possible.
