HHO” gas injected into carburetor – does it improve efficiency?
It will give you a larger and cleaner burn. I don’t recommend doing any conversions yourself however. As far as 40% efficiency goes… I doubt it. However you can realistically expect anywhere from a 3-10% efficiency boost. Engines can only be so efficient. Most of the thrown away energy is heat and unburned fuel that could have been converted into energy. You will get a noticeable increase of horsepower and torque because it does make for a much more more thorough burn– which then yields more energy output. Because HHO has more energy per unit mass while gasoline has more energy per unit volume. HHO gas acts as a catalyst that gives you more energy out than energy put in when you burn it mixed with fuel. So in actuality the drain on the alternator for electrolysis/HHO injection is actually supplying more power to the engine and also the alternator because of this catalyst reaction increasing the power out.
