Let's do some simple arithmetic. 1800 gallons of HHO gas is supposed
to last for months of driving. This all came from 8 pounds of water,
thus should weigh 8 pounds. The energy contained in it is less than
the energy contained in 8 pounds of hydrogen gas without the oxygen.
However, the energy content of that much hydrogen gas isn't
significant enough to make a difference over a few months or even a
month.
Eight pounds of straight Hydrogen gas has enough energy to get the
hydrogen 7 series BMW about 55 miles. If you used gas, it would take
about 4 gallons to do that. So this 1800 pounds of HHO from this one
gallon of water will have less energy than 4 gallons of gas. I'm
thinking much much less since most of the volume of that HHO gas is
oxygen, not hydrogen. The straight Hydrogen gas is mixed with oxygen
that is easy to find in the air later directly before combustion.
I can't recall all the chemistry involved, but I'd think that the
enegy content of HHo gas would likely be close to one ninth of H2 gas.
So that gallon of water that gives 1800 gallons of HHO is like 4/9 of
a gallon of gas.
I can make 4/9 of a gallon of gas last several months... In my
lawnmower... In the winter.
And where did the energy come from to split the hydrogen from the
oxygen? It comes from gasoline that you pump into the car.
There is no free lunch.
