As for trickling a little bit of hydrogen and oxygen in with the fuel/air mix on a normal car to improve efficiency, I've heard of it, but at a glance, I'm having difficulty finding studies that don't look like they were carried out or funded by people trying to sell HHO generators.

I'm sure the thread is about to be flooded with them, yes...but if I understand what they're claiming, no thermodynamic laws are being violated at all. They're simply using water as fuel. The "200% efficiency" is not counting the fact that the system must be fed water.
It's no more a free energy device than a campfire is.

Here again, let's wait until a few of our resident tinkerers have had a chance to try it out before we pass final judgment on it, OK?
I do think that the "200% Efficient" title is a bit semantically challenged - by definition you can't have a system that's more than 100% efficient.
But, you can power a car by consuming gasoline, you can power a power grid by consuming coal - so why wouldn't you be able to power a generator by consuming water? Hydrogen contains a tremendous amount of energy
Also, the fact that they're willing to open-source it instead of asking for money speaks volumes!

Okay, the typical "Perpetual Motion Machine!" and "Laws of Thermodynamics!" objections were totally expected.
Now what I want to know is, will anyone volunteer to actually try to build one from the specs and see if it works?

I noticed that too.
The key behind Stanely M.'s design was the pulse modulation in increasing steps.
Since they haven't mentioned any modulation, I think they are just running straight electricity without modulation.
If they ARE using some type of modulation, that means they don't have 100% efficiency because those modulators lose energy via heat, and are not 100% efficient.

Huh? BLP are now on their sixth commercial deal, I wouldn't call that "nothing".

So care to show us one of these operating plants? Or even where one has been decided to be built? show us anything other than a claim from a snake oil salesman? How about a peer reviewed journal? anything at all?
nope! - nothing
