Why HHO works

[DaleSVP]

One of the reasons HHO systems work is because the ordinary fuel is not well burned; i.e., most of it is NOT burned and is expelled from the exhaust pipe or is reburned and wasted in the catalytic converter. HHO systems, when properly configured, introduce Hydrogen and Oxygen into the gasoline or diesel fuel mixtures prior to combustion. Because Hydrogen has as much as ten times the laminar burning velocity of the gasoline or diesel it acts as a pre-ignition detonator to ignite the gasoline or diesel vapor in a more complete and timely way thus burning more of it. The result would be a much better fuel usage and mileage.

"All the gaseous fuels can support detonation. However, the burning velocity for hydrogen is much higher than the other fuels: up to 346 cm/sec (depending on the mixture) versus values between 35 and 50 cm/sec for gasoline vapor, methane, and propane. Thus, the process is considerably more likely in a hydrogen mixture. Whether detonation actually happens depends strongly on the geometry and the strength of the initial ignition source."

You don't have to explain the HHO phenomenon to me. I've been all over it and have developed and use it. Hey, I own two (2) original Brown's Gas Generators! We've done the experiments, tests and had a lot of fun. We've done the implosion thing that no one believes can happen. This whole thing is a lot of fun when we stop trying to convince others. Fact is, we're taking our research to the next higher levels this spring and summer. No one has gone there before unless we count Keely's original work in the 1880s.
==============
I have a failing and that is I hate to repeat myself. But here goes anyway since so many can't seem to add two to two to get four. I wrote the follow up on my forum should any wish to know more.

FACT 1: Last I heard around 85% of the gasoline used in an internal combustion engine does not get burned as it goes through the notoriously inefficient engine. It used to get blown out the exhaust pipe. Then to hide this they forced everyone to use catalytic converters to hide that fact of great waste.

FACT 2: Hydrogen burns hotter and much faster than gasoline vapors.

FACT 3: Mixed hydrogen, oxygen into gasoline vapors will ignite and burn quicker than the gasoline and will act as an igniter or accelerator to more completely combust the gasoline vapors.

FACT 4: When a given amount of gasoline creates more expansion pressure than it did before not as much of it is needed for the same or similar performance. This means

FACT 5: mileage traveled per gallon of said gasoline is improved.

Therefore the HHO phenomenon is in general a process to improve the overall combustion efficiency of an existing fuel so as to increase performance on less of that standard fuel.

HHO is NOT about getting something for nothing.
HHO is NOT about perpetual or continuous motion.
HHO is NOT about eliminating standard fuels.
