I’ve been seeing so many videos about HHO lately on youtube. All of the videos show a simple mason jar performing electrolysis and then pumping the hydrogen into the engine to increase gas mileage by 30-90%. Is any of this real or is this just a bunch of knuckleheads that think this is working in their car. I get the idea of it but I can’t see how this would work in a modern car. I would think that the second you hook that home made thing up the car’s ECU would realize the engine is running too lean and in fact dump more fuel into the injectors, right? And also these electrolysis units draw so much power, I’ve read just this will put your alternator to the limit when you have this running along with headlights and a stereo and other things that draw a lot of power in your car, unless of course you get a bigger alternator.
Now the real question would you really put this in your car? I just wouldn’t want to. I feel it may screw with the performance of the engine. The engine is designed to run on gasoline and air, not gasoline air and hydrogen. Is the way hydrogen combusts slower or faster than the gasoline, if so then I could see this as a huge problem effecting the operating temperature and timing, right? And again with the ECU, wouldn’t;t the ECU compensate for the leanness of the mixture and add more fuel? And also, would you pass an emissions test since now you have different fuels going through the sensors? I am no expert on any of the things i am saying in this post, that is why I am posting it and I’m looking for a second opinion. So if anyone could tell me if my theorys are in fact correct or incorrect please do so, thanks.
