Honda introduced a hydrogen car, which burns hydrogen.

I agree. No such thing as HHO. Just a sales gimmick name. Truth be known, it takes more energy (with todays technology) to separate (water) H/2 and O than the energy gained from the separation. MHOAO.

Personally makes no difference to me what you want to call it, or how it works. Reason I'm trying it is to see IF it works. I had my generator on the bench, producing gas. I put the discharge hose into a tub of water, as it bubbled to the top, I could ignite it & every bubble popped like a firecracker. I saw it & heard it with my own eyes & ears, and showed others. I'm not here do defend, deny, or argue about the whole process. I'm not a chemist & don't know if anyone eles here is or not. I'm trying it because I can't decide who to believe....but I know I can believe my own results......positive or negative (no pun intended, lol)

What you are describing is exactly how it should work. You are producing hydrogen gas by electrolysis of water. Very common and well known reaction. It would be feasible for powering an engine except it takes more energy to power the system than you can produce by burning the gas. no matter what you do, operating such a system will always reduce your fuel mileage. Either that or Isaac Newton didn't understand physics.

Glad to see people experimenting with stuff. It is good to learn things. The Marine Doctor has a video on this process and wrote a result report. I believe he had negative results.

My thoughts on this is that folks want it to work so bad that they modify driving habits to make claims of success.

Good luck.

I figured with all the mixed results I've read, there's only 1 way to know for sure....to give it a try. I'm giving it less than 50% odds of improving my MPG, but atleast I'll have 1st hand information ;)

I've not been able to understand 1 thing though, and I've read it elsewhere other than the above comments. If my engine is running, and spinning the alternator anyway, how does powering my generator cost more power? To me, that's like saying driving with your lights, radio and heater on cost mileage. Air conditioner I understand, it's a separate compressor, and isn't a "requirement" like an alternator.
