So explain how H injection doesn't work again?

I personally would not argue that hydrogen added to fuel would or would not help, but my only question is if it helps more than generating it onboard hinders. If you try to tell me that it only takes X energy to make it but you get X*2 energy by burning it, I won't believe it. If you want to suggest that it catalyzes the other fuel or enhances the combustion, well that's more realistic.

If you're talking about generating it elsewhere and just carrying it onboard, that's a whole other story.

That all said, I suspect I will eventually try it. It can be tried with minimal investment (maybe zero money, and just a few hours time), and some people do report success, so why not...

Well I have heard this before and what I guess I need is an education in reference to generating power off an alternator in a car.

Here is my scenario, engine is turning 1000 RPM and the Alternator is generating 14 volts at 40 amps. (using round numbers, play along)

Is the alernator powering the devices in the car or is it charging the battery that powers everything?

Regardless of that answer, the Alternator is producing 40 amps to the devices or the battery, either way, and I turn on every electronic device in the car and draw 30 amps. What happens to the 10 amps I don't use?

Next question, same scenario, I have everything on and drawing 30 amps and turn on a HHO generator that draws 20 amps. Do the lights dim or does the battery start to drain (probably both) but here is the $64 question, does the alternator do anything different? Turn faster? Work harder? I think not.

My understanding is the alternator is turning and creating power, which is either stored or used, and when the battery is fully charged and the devices are not drawing more than the alternator can make then the extra power goes where?

My point is that the alternator is creating power in excess of the cars needs probably better than 50% (if not more) of the time, so if you use it for a radio, an HHO generator, a winch, etc as long as the car is running and your battery is in good shape then what is the problem?

I understand the whole its not "overunity" argument, but if you are using excess power and converting it to something the car can burn (even at 50% efficiency) where is the harm?

The alernator can't work harder than the engine turns but it may need to work longer to get the battery back up to topped off. In the long haul what is the impact?

Any education you can provide (not conjecture please) would be greatly appreciated.
