The missing link

Hi,

I'm Wannes from Belgium and I'm trying to get my car running partially
on hydrogen. I'm asking myself a few questions...

You should get a better mileage if you're using your generator in your
car to produce electricity to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen goes in your
cilinder and burns better then gas only. That's the base line I think.

I really beleive in this project,

but, ...


The generator needs energy to provide the electricity that makes the
hydrogen seperate from the oxygen in H2O (water). If I'm right and
remember a few laws of physics from school ages ago ;) , every step
you change energy to another form, you loose some kind of efficient
energy. So we loose a bit when the gas in our car is burnt, we loose a
bit in the generator, and we loose a bit when the electricity makes
the H and O to separate, and again, we loose a bit when the combustion
energy is transformed into mechanical energy.

I think that's a lot of steps where we loose energy.

So how is it possible that we gain on mileage when we loose so much
energy in every step.

The only thing I can imagine is that the energy to separate H and O is
way lower than the energy you gain to burn it again. Burning it again
means connecting it to O but we just separated from O 3 steps ago, so
that's why I'm a little confused about this HHO-thing.

Is there somewone that can explain or proove that?

And question no 2 is: why didn't car manufacturers apply this
principal of HHO cells in almost every car?

It may seem that I'm not convinced of this, that's not true, too many
people have installed it already in there car but I'm wondering where
the missing link is. There's no way to create energy nor loose it, so
how do you explain the HHO cell?
