I work on boats everyday and people are doing in on there engines but I have not heard of the gen.
Has anyone attempted to use a Hydrogen Generator on an I/O to improve fuel consumption ?
A hydrogen leak in the engine compartment could be quite hazardous.
Just curious.
My understanding is that the reason that some people see performance increases with water injection on their cars... is that if the engine antiknock system has retarded timing to deal with poor tune or poor fuel quality, water injection will drop combustion temps a bit and allow the engine to move the timing back to where it belongs... in other words, it wouldn't do any good in a properly tuned engine running on good quality fuel...
It wasn't a question of poor fuel, the technology didn't exsist at that time to refine a higher octane fuel. Water injection (50/50 mix of water/alcohol) was still used after 115/145 octane fuel became available. This was used on supercharged and turbo supercharged engines. Compression equals horsepower, the higher the compression, the more horsepower.
Higher compression also equals less reliability. This development took place before anti-knock systems.
They do that in submarines all the time. The hydrogen generator splits the water molecules for oxygen to breath and hydrogen to run the reactor.
It takes roughly 3 times the energy to produce (split) hydrogen as you get back from it. No, not a method to improve efficency.

I don't agee with this quote, I can split molecules with my HHO generation using under an amp and producing a great deal of hydrogen/Oxygen. The trick is to build a good oscillator circuit, and tune it to the "right " frquency for the type of stainless steel plate, and size and thinkness of plates.
I don;t have my generator hooked up to my boat yet, as i can't overcome the timing issues with my old engine. Also the danger of the generator rattling around.
Don't half *** this one boys and girls as that stuff is REALLY explosive. 2300 meters + a second
