This such a crock of psuedo-science and junk documentation. Hydrogen by itself has virtually no power output when burned. It is also a ganged element, meaning that in natural form, 2 atoms are bonded, i.e. H2. (Clever huh, H2 forum...oh nevermind). In a typical hydrocarbon, there can be up to 26 Hydrogen atoms PER molecule! The claims that a vehicle mounted electralysis device will convert milliliters of water into enough hydrogen to propel a full size vehicle hundreds of kilometers is ludicrious.

HHO gas, or Brown's gas, can and does burn hot. That's it, but as an alternative fuel source? No way. There isn't enough BTU per gram. Also, it is extremely dangerous to store, a single blowback can destroy the generator system very fast, think Hindenberg.

The best way to utilize Hydrogen is the fuel cell, stripping the single electron, utilize the negative charge for "work", then returning it to its proton unchanged where it is combined with oxygen to make water. I'm all for that, bring on the diesel/fuel cell electric Hummer! We would be able to sneak right up and drive over the leaf lickers as they sniff their self-righteous asses and lick psychodelic toad skin.
