Just tinkering here but hydrogen or actually (Browns gas) because it also contains 02 may be more than plausible. Good old Dad has been building his own hydrogen generators for about a year now with me welding up a widget here and there for the experiments he comes up with. He has a few of his cars with the best he has come up with running with great results now. His path is increased mileage and using it to supplement not run exclusively on H2. If only a supplement you do not have to deal with rust issues etc... A byproduct of all this tinkering has been increased HP and ability to run more timing. The HP increase is not like nitrous but is without a doubt noticeable driving or even riding in the car.

At first found it only stopped the computer controlled injection car from removing timing via the ECM from the factory basic standards. Now have found it likes stock/factory timing and a little more under load. The increase in HP is comparable to the air cond being on or off on his 4 cyl. 2006 Saturn but with 23% increased gas mileage !!

The part that peaks my real interest is not increasing gas mileage but the fact it allows no it likes more timing when under a load (increase is factory plus about 8*) and will not ping as it is a more dense/cool fuel charge. To hell with lower power and higher mileage I want to add this to an engine that has had the timing backed off and either had to add or mix for an octane increase just to make it run to its ability. Adding browns gas to a SBC with 15 pounds of boost makes it like pump gas and run like it was drum fuel = or it is not pinging under boost so can keep the timing that the knock sensor took out if when just running premium pump gas.

Seems to be working so far but I am just sneaking up on it. Distilled water to make hydrogen is cheaper than race gas... go figure, total investment to build or replace this mess would be about 80 bucks, its the pile of stuff that didn't work as well.
