Rustylugnuts explanation of the excelerated burn might explain what Ive been working on with lpg fumigation on my turbo diesel truck engine. The results are dramatic in terms of power. They seem promising in terms of economy, but no aba testing yet so I can't post any numbers yet. I think the gassous fuel helps with speeding up the burn and helps give a more complete burn. The btu content of the lpg is small compared to the diesel, so performance gains would be cheaper to dump more diesel. Thinking of the addition of lpg as more fuel didn't explain the results, but thinking about it like an ingredient in the complex combustion process helps. The lpg acts like another charge air cooler. Before I thought that was the main effect I was seeing.
Thankyou rustylugnut for your work on this.
As far as hho is concerned, I think on board generation takes it out of the running. The alternator isnt up to the huge load. Generate it at home with grid power or solar. I'm not sure how safe storing hho would be, but you can store the hydrogen and oxygen in separate tanks and mix at the air intake. That might be dangerous too. Lot of bugs to work out, but it seems worth the effort.
