sure..but the gas is in theory going to give you a better cleaner burn and if mileage goes up then it works... i'd lose 5- 10 amps. for that.

In my opinion it is efficient enough to use electrolysis for HHO generation if it's creating a clean renewable source of gas...

HHO is already in use for welding and cutting tools and is being researched for home heating applications. but not cars???if i can put one in my basement why can't i run a hybrid gas/oxy-hydrogen car using this tech???

( BTW I'm not saying perpetual motion just lots of gas from a small amount of water and amperage(12V DC only)

1 gallon of H2O = 1384 cubic feet of HHO est.)

(H2O = H2 : O)
