About HHO: Oxyhydrogen

In the HHO cell, several Electrodes

are stacked together, and
Hydrogen and Oxygen gases are
being MIXED in a stoichiometric
monoatomic composition

Conclusions:
In spite of the high temperature operating condition, we
could observe reduction in gasoline consumption similar
to the results from Musmar et.al.
Exhaust emission analysis showed improvements similar
to previous works
