Please explain how adding hydrogen and oxygen to the combustion mix will reduce CO2, CO, NOX, or any other pollution emissions. Also, please explain how much H2 and O2 are produced by this system and how this relates to the intake gas mixture at idle. How does the mix change as engine RPMs increase? Based on what I saw in the video, there is so little hydrogen and oxygen being produced in relation to the amount of air required to run the engine that this particular system probably has no measurable effect on anything.
Adding oxygen to the mix will
increase the fuel delivery rate, not reduce it. Adding hydrogen at the same time will
offset almost all of any potential change to the
O2 sensor reading, which would leave the fuel delivery rate unchanged. If there was extra oxygen as you claim, the engine would run lean, and a lean mix delivers less power, not more. As Rocky stated, the oxygen sensor comes after the fuel has already been burned, not before. To keep the
air-fuel ratio right, which I'm sure you remember from your chemistry training, the computer has to add fuel to use up any extra oxygen, which would reduce your gas mileage. Clearly, the claims you're making in your poorly-disguised advertising posts are false.
If your
electrolysis unit uses electricity to
split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the alternator becomes harder to turn, meaning that the engine has to work harder and gas mileage and horsepower will go down.
You aren't using "unused" amps from the alternator. Every milliamp of power you use puts extra load on the engine and requires more fuel. Anybody who says "that the energy required to break apart water is the same as what you get out of it when you burn H2 and O2 together in air" is an idiot. I figured a chemist would understand the
law of conservation of energy, but maybe that's only for physicists, or maybe they don't teach such laws at the chemistry school you attended. But I think we all know at this point you're not a chemist unless you're running a meth lab.
And yes, I do think it could damage your emission system because you're adding compounds to the combustion mix that aren't supposed to be there and changing the temperature of the exhaust gases, neither of which the emission system was designed to handle. But why is this explanation necessary? A chemist who has clearly researched this topic as you have should understand how a catalytic converter and the combustion process works, right? Plus the combustion of additional hydrogen and oxygen will create additional water vapor in the exhaust stream, which could rust out the whole system prematurely. This doesn't even take into account that you incorrectly stated that the computer reduces fuel because of the extra oxygen. If that was true, the engine would be running lean, which would overheat and damage internal engine components and the emission system.
So in summary, neither you nor anyone else should buy or build a water electrolysis unit and attach it to an engine for at least these reasons and probably more:
1) It will reduce your fuel efficiency - you can't get more out of a system than you put into it. It's as simple as that.
2) It adds an explosion risk by introducing hydrogen and oxygen gas where they were not meant to be (seen that
Hindenburg video?)
3) If there was such a cheap and simple way to increase gas mileage by as much as you claim (33%), every engine manufacturer in the world would already be using it
4) It probably will damage your emission system and void the warranty, and could lead to very expensive repairs
And no, I don't work for or have any interest in the oil industry. I just have a low tolerance for B.S.
