Okay how about first trying to quantify the efficiency of the vehicles alternator.

Step 1: Drive the alternator connected to your HHO cell with an electric motor.

Step 2: Measure the power out ( Volts X Amps ) of the alternator.

Step 3: Measure the power used by the electric motor ( Volts X Amps ) to drive the the alternator.

Step 4: Divide the value obtained in step 2 by the value in step 3.

Step 5: Realize that your HHO cell is only 75% efficient.

Step 6: Realize that only 30% of the HHO energy gets converted to usable power in the engine.

Step 7: Realize you only get 1/7th (at best) the energy back of what you put in.
