I'm only through the 3rd video, but so far the man at the whiteboard seems to know what he is talking about. What I have taken away so far is that hydrogen is a great fuel for ICEs, but that the ones in my car and in yours are not optimal. So far hes talked about changing the intake, cooling, spark controls, flywheel, fuel injection, ect! Replace your engine with one optimized for hydrogen and find a source for hydrogen and you might have something beneficial.

By HHO mod I assume some type of in car hydrogen generator using work created by some combustion cycle. Percent gain as far as fuel economy? It would be a loss. My car is designed to use gasoline. Hydrogen is a fuel and as such it should be included in fuel economy. How do you think an engine that is designed to run on gasoline will do on any other fuel, economy wise?
