Well Don, lots of people thought running ROP would protect their engine but there are reasons that simply isn't true. I recently replaced my Continental IO-520 with a IO-550.
The engine cost around $30,000. This may be a little more than you care to know about LOP v. ROP but have at it: I have read tons on this as I should, I fly behind a $30k investment! I'll tell you that ROP does not protect the engine. [Edited by Don W]

In cars, a lean engine is prone to - close to - pre-ignition or pinging. Or knocking if really off. They say if you can hear it you have already done damage. I have to assume it is the same in aircraft engines. To avoid knock, I’d retard the spark or raise the octane rating. It would never occur to me to further lean out the mixture. For me that would be counter-intuitive. OK, I’ve said my piece. Thx for listening.

Off topic . . That's quite true, although the problem also could occur because of leaky gaskets (Intake, carb intake), or a vacuum leak, but be that as it may)
On topic . . I see a major flaw in using water for fuel or additive (if it can be done), what happens in the winter when the temp drops below freezing?
Yes you can add heaters to keep the water from freezing, but how do you power them that is in a way that can be productive? [Edited by Don W]

What's giving you the energy to move the car is the HHO molecules being used in the combustion process.
This doesn't violate the law of conservation of energy, we need to find out how much energy it takes for this process to brake the chemical bonds in water.
It might be a radio frequency generator running at 42khz; it has to do with sonochemistry , chemical kinetics, and resonance.

There is no HHO molecule. The gas we’re talking about is more or less a stoichiometric mixture of H2 and O2. But for the sake of simplicity and your understanding, I’ll call the gas “HHO” for the remainder of this post.
The car will quickly run out of HHO gas and stall, because if it’s using the HHO gas to power the car, then there isn’t enough energy left over to keep separating the water into more gas.
It’s mind-numbingly simple. There is a certain amount of energy in the chemical bonds in water. It takes exactly the same amount of energy to break this bond as you get from making it. So even in a perfect world, it would take as much energy to electrolyze water as you would get from burning HHO. Meaning you would have no energy left over to power a car, only enough to keep separating and recombining water.
And in the real world, you always waste bit of energy in any process. In fact in electrolysis you waste a lot of energy. Even when you hit water with AC at some particularly sweet frequency and even when you add chemicals to speed the electrolysis.
Which means that onboard electrolysis is a losing proposition. You’re using more energy than you’re getting.
Anyway, the plain fact of the matter is that, no matter how sophisticated your method, it will always take more energy to break down water than you get from recombining it. Period. Point final. End of story.

Oil companies and vehicle companies are going to fuel cells, so that you still have to by your fuel cell from them. But why buy from them, if you can produce fuel from water as you go down the road?

1) There is no such thing as “HHO.” The gas in question is a stoichiometric mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. It is not a newly discovered molecule.
2) Producing fuel from water requires more energy than burning the fuel will give you. Much more. So you can’t “fuel” a car with water.
I’ve stated and repeated this at least twice at this point.

Misinterpret the numbers all you want. Keep falling for the stage act. But you will never, ever fuel a car with water.

UUUHHHHH, do you consider making 1 litre of gas per hour with a 20 watt hour consumption rate an inefficient way of creating fuel out of water?

there is not only patents with pictures and explanations, but videos and press releases. please refrain from posting anymore lies.
and water is a fuel. fuel for the body, and fuel for utilities and technology.

Yes. One litre of hydrogen gas is a very small amount. It won’t even fuel a car for a minute.

Oh, I didn’t explain patents in this thread already? It must have been another of the free energy threads.…
Patents are not proof that an invention works. They’re just a means of protecting an invention. The U.S. Patent Office is generally not concerned with whether an invention works or not; only that it’s new.
Demonstrations are easily faked. Press releases prove other than that you can attract the attention of the press. Which is not a difficult task.

No, water is not a fuel for the body. Carbohydrates are fuel for the body. Water is more like a lubricant and coolant for the body. Coincidentally it’s not a half-bad coolant for technology either.

no, you are wrong, 1 litre of H2/02 gas with some air intake will blow your face straight of your body and all your limbs with it.
Please just stop posting paragraphs of # that got nothing to do with subject. i gave you some numbers, now go to your virtual lab and try em out b4 posting anymore. as well pay some respect for the people that have lost their lives, and have been encarsurated for merely trying to get this info out to the world, just so that a**h0les like you can enjoy it....
