HHO SYSTEMS, DO THEY REALLY WORK?

I've been studying this stuff for the last few days. Very interesting in how to run your car partly on water. What doesn't make sense to me is the long term affect. Some of these guys are claiming a 50% increase in gas mileage. Hard to believe for me. Seems these systems just make the O2 sensor tell the computer that it's running too lean, therefore backs off the fuel to the fuel injectors. I just wanted to get some insight from you guys on here. Anyone tried it? I mean, if it really worked, wouldn't we all have it? There's a couple of videos and read up on the sites below. Let me know if you think this is bull.

i actually have a copy of the manual on how to make and install one of these systems but i dont think that there telling you everything either.... basically what i gather is there actually using a process of electrolysis with water to create an extremely flamable hydrogen containing gas to fuel the car... my big question is how much energy is it requiring to complete this process...because if it exceeds the amount produced then its totally pointless... and also after reading into it there was alot of other variables that they dont tell you about it at first... the water causes alot of corrosion internally...also, at the end or running this water everytime you use your car you have to switch back over to 100% fuel to clean all the water out cause otherwise it will rust the insides to no end...

i do think this setup is a alternative source of energy for the future but it is far from being mastered...

Hydrogen contains massive amounts of energy. It's what powers a whole lot of space launch vehicles including the space shuttle. A little bit of it goes an awful long way too. Although I haven't tried the HHO systems yet it would seem to me (from what I've read) that if you're getting water into your fuel system somehow then your doing something wrong. The only thing that should go into the car is hydrogen gas with water coming out of the tailpipe.

Already posted a thread on this in BHR. The general consensus seems to be that it sounds good in theory, but in practice, it doesn't do jack.

Hmm... I just read that thread and I didn't get that impression. There were a few posts in there that were positive. I'm going to wait a while and see what happens (if anything) with the current research into Brown's gas. I don't think it's understood by science. Any time you get a substance that will burn through tungston in seconds but not burn through flesh using the same torch deserves a chance. It clearly has unique properties that don't exist in any other substance. Kinda like water.
