Before this thread gets out of control in a heated debate about physics and scientific principals, I wanted to bring up an idea that no one has ever suggested before in any of these threads.

I realize that it takes energy from the alternator to provide the power for the generator to produce hydrogen... but hydrogen is just a supplementary fuel. As I know it these PSD's can be pretty inefficient with the amount of wasted fuel they just spit down the tailpipe. From what I gather, it seems like some additional combustion in the chamber due to hydrogen would have a very similar effect to something like propane injection which is commonly regarded as a power and mileage booster. They just burn the excess fuel in combustion chamber, and that makes more power and therefore can increase mileage.

Any thoughts on this?
