It may be able to improve emissions, but this HHO-gives-better-performance/economy horse has been proven to be dead already. You can't get more out of a system than you put in. It takes a certain amount of energy to break water apart - unless lorenz1955 has discovered some quantum effect that allows one to break water apart with less than normal energy AND managed to scale it up to real world levels, he's blowing smoke up our collective a$$.

Exactly. If you were Nissan and you were funding/supporting a project like this, would you keep quiet about it? Or would you issue press releases announcing your funding of the project and more releases as progress was made? If I am wrong and Nissan has made these announcements, please let me know.
