Question Solar HHO

I know you guys are probably sick to death of HHO. From my understanding, they can't actually increase mpg because the power needed to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen is more than what the extra hydrogen/oxygen intake into the engine would produce.

There is no doubt adding it to combustion would give more power / mpg however.

My idea is to have about 50-100w of solar on the roof of the car (slimline flexi panels) and use their power to generate HHO, which is then drawn into the intake for combustion. That way there is no extra load on the engine.

Downsides are that this would only work during the day in sunlight.

This would be going on an old diesel, which wouldn't just add extra fuel to compensate like a modern EFI engine would.

My only thought is that would the power gain be better from the HHO intake, or just to charge the cars battery and lessen the load on the alternator.

Thoughts?
