Alternator draw

[jag7720]

I am in discussion with a friend over whether the output of HHO and susaquent use in the engine is grater than the draw on the engine when the alternator is is made to work harder to produce electricity for the electrolysis.


Can someone explain this is laymen terms?

Thanks

If you were to take the energy in the electricity used to generate HHO and the energy stored in the created HHO, the electricity will always be higher.

However, we are not supplementing gasoline with an additional fuel, we are using a catalyst to IMPROVE the thermal efficiency of the gasoline.

In simpler terms:

The average internal combustion engine, on a good day, will burn about 18% of the gasoline that is injected into the cylinders in order to contribute to pushing down the piston.

When we add enough HHO to the mixture, the gasoline burns at a faster rate and therefore more of the gasoline is burnt in order to contribute to pushing down the piston.

We are not adding a fuel to add extra power in it's own right, we are using a catalyst to make more efficient use of the gasoline fuel.

A simple analogy is a patch of grass, say 6 ft by 6 ft. If we light one corner of the grass, it will take an amount of time for the flame to consume the entire patch.

If we spray gasoline or another flammable liquid over the grass and then light one corner, the flame will consume the grass patch much quicker.

Hope this helps!

Thanks... that make more sense.
