I designed a model similar to this 10 years ago and got it to work on a small scale. very simple tech. My plan was to make the whole vehicle run on the hydrogen though. Never thought about just injecting it with the gas.

That was 10 years ago, so I have nothing left of it. I will look into building a new model when I get time though.

Well looking online at how people have pulled this off gave me a ton of ideas on making it work. There was a guy who did this with a TBI 350 pickup, he said it didn't work too well. Well he had a tiny *** "hydrogen machine" to make the gas, no wonder. Then I read about people strapping actual hydrogen tanks (like a NOS setup but it worked at PT and WOT not just WOT) to their work vehicles and getting better gas mileage, but the cost wasn't a savings as it was pricey to get the Hydrogen in such large quanitites. Ok so they had enough gas to make it work on trucks but the gas and equipment cost them too much. So then there was they guy who has the escort. He used the same principle that everyone else used with the "hydogen machine" but instead of using an expensive pump to "blow" it into the motor, he use the cars vacuum to do the work. He got 60mpg on the highway with that car! An old POS escort! They get 30 tops (my girlfriend has one). Well all you have to do if find a way to produce more of this hydrogen and quicker. Ok quicker means bigger tubing, "coils" and voltage. More means a bigger tank. Voila! That should be it. I expect a 5mpg increase in my commute to work, maybe more on the highway if I can get it all working just right. Savings over the next year would be around $600 and cost me maybe $60-70 in the long run. (If I purchased the parts, replaced coils once that year, buy a water filter, etc).
