No, it's not O2.

Whats the by product?
O2
After all that people still talk about how safe it is!
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Contributes to soil erosion.
* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
* Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
* Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.

Actually we don't have to guess.
It doesn't function so we don't need to guess how it functions:
Oh... have you made one?
(Second line)
The thing I've tried to research but find conflicting answers, is what the long term effect will be on the engine, if any. Some say it might shorten engine life, unless certain modifications are made. I think Autowrench also mentioned some question about that.
It would be awesome if autowrench could do some simple consumption tests and document them to get a better idea of what is going on. It would certainly strengthen his claims. But he is of course not obliged to do so.
One possible way to explain this effect would be that you would be enriching the air with oxygen, analogous to nitrous oxide injection. It would also explain the increase in the consumption. But that is speculation on my side.

Well every theory starts with a hypothesis which must be falsifiable or say verifiable. And if we are not too strict a hypothesis is not much more than an educated guess. The hypothesis as such is not false by default.

Dihydrogenmonoxyd..
I grinned. Not LOL, that would be too much. Just a grin, nevertheless.

that is not true!
the alternator produces more energy than what's needed to make the HHO
the problem that i can see is safety...
considering the HHO gas pressure build up and it's combustion...
how safe is this system from not exploding your vehicle?
No idea how much hydrogen gas is made from electrolysis.

Just build one and give it to the ppl..
Talk is so overrated...
If any one has one of these cars...
Throw it in the heads of the sceptics
and be over with it.....
Im telling you right out. If i had the knowlage and the schematics
id make a chainmail and send it like a virus over the internet...
Force it down the throats of EVERY goddamn conection
available. That way NO ONE would be able to supress it...
Buuut..
I dont have either so it wont come from me...
Although i hope someone has...And does...

1. If it's so good, why haven't I heard about it? You're hearing about it now! Water-fuel technology has been around since...you'll find it hard to believe...the year 1800! The first internal combustion engines ran on Hydrogen (made from water) for the first 8 years until they "invented" gasoline. Our do-it-yourself design is based on old-old U.S. patents from 1884 and 1918. Amazing but true. This is not new! Now Hydrogen is coming back. It's in fashion, everybody's talking about it – and tens of thousands are actually doing it! They are generating Hydrogen at home or on board their vehicles, rather than buying Hydrogen at the pump. That's good, because if we'd be buying Hydrogen at the pump, it would pull us back all the way to square one – being dependent on a monopoly for such vital resources as transportation, home energy and hospitals (emergency diesel generators).

Randi had a screening process that kept his million safe from being payed out.
If you look at the info of that vid you'll see that the "The sponsors of the One Million Dollar HHO Challenge have chosen to postpone the competition."
Wonder why?

It is an opinion but then again maybe Randi just had a better racket going than those he challanged. It was his challange.
