its supposedly a hydrogen generator.
follow this link and it will help explain it as I am very fuzzy on it still.
Hydrogen gen
Frank, its why I said I will do research on it, if it seems to be a bogus mod, then I highly doubt I would do it.

For the record, HHO is on-board electrolysis of water, and plumbing the resulting hydrogen/oxygen gases into the intake. There is a net energy loss with this process, documented extensively, although many ignorant people will swear it improves fuel efficiency despite a lack of contrary evidence.

Ahh I see. At least with this trickery the Unicorn does not need to be made to cry so you can collect its tears...

30mpg?
I know, I know. Okay, we'll simply roll it down a steep hill... no, we'd never find a smooth enough surface. Unless... of course, ice! We'll wait until winter, when the lake freezes over.....

...with tongue firmly planted in cheek, let me be the first to make the following analogy:
...HH0 generation is to a internal combustion engine (ICE) operation as eating beans is to a human who thinks that he/she can breathe their flatulence to make them breathe better and run faster!
...NOT!

I drove my friends 07 4.0V6 Explorer to the beach with 3 people in it and got 24.7 mpg. He normally gets 16.

Watch what you say.
How you explain my 94 Explorer 4 door 4WD got 25 mpg on highway? or 95 F250 with 5.8L that got 16 mpg at 80-90 mph.
That explorer is 2wd and I been watch his threads for 3 years.
He does much work on.
