You are forgetting a fundamental, 100% indispensable, absolutely necessary step: The "HHO" system is using the
battery to make Hydrogen. The
battery runs off of the alternator, which generates electricity by utilizing a spinning pulley (much like a water wheel or a windmill, if this helps you any)
Anyone care to guess as to what turns that pulley?
The
ENGINE turns the pulley when gasoline and air are detonated in the cylinders and the detonation
FORCES the crank to turn. the more electrical systems you run in your car, the more work the alternator does, the more parasitic loss your car feels (in the form of loss of acceleration and gas mileage). If you can accept that an underdrive pulley, which causes the alternator to do
less work, will add power to your car, why would you not accept that adding a system that draws
more power from the alternator would in fact decrease power output?!!??

Do we really need a bunch of complicated formulas for this? Ok, proceed with the "over-simplifying" responses
