Just wondering but a good buddy of mine told me about a HHO booster recently and from what ive looked into it seems pretty legit. Basically its a electrolysis machine that sends the gases to your intake and increases your fuel mileage by an insane amount while increasing HP and torque and making your emissions go away. I was just wondering if any of yall have tried it and if so what where your experiences?

Massive scam as old as cold fusion, snake oil, and crystals. Hydrolysis takes a serious amount of electricity to get anything done. It is a serious net loss of power. Look up electrical hydrolysis online and you will see. Anyone peddling this **** is likely involved in a Ponzi scheme.
If you want to save fuel, swap in a small diesel, convert to LPG, or buy a small daily driver.

Not to start an argument on here or anything, electrolysis actually can be done with a few volts when you have a large surface area. I used to work on a automatic electrolytic oxygen generator in the navy on a Fast attack submarine. I know the outputs are low but what about maybe a second battery setup. Not to drain your starting battery. Just as maybe a boost or somthing.

The only possible way to achieve something like that would be to have a significant electrical energy storage that doesn't have load on the engine. Which is basically impossible because a large enough unit will add considerable weight (Let's assume you dont mind losing all of your cargo space). At which point you'd have to be ****ing retarded to not just build an electric hybrid and skip the whole explosive gas and metal embrittlement thing.
It's a scam. Period.

Vaporizing (Atomization) of the fuel is no new thing and not as high tech as the article makes it seem. That SY4 is a TBI motor from the 80's. The early 4cyl Jeeps and even the 4.0L and 2.5L TBI have a setup to heat the incoming air/fuel charge via engine coolant. The later year 4.2L even had an electric manifold heater. These systems sat underneath the Carb/TBI unit in the manifold.

No, it's exactly equal.
Which means, best case, you are trying to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. What you put in, is exactly what you get out in terms of energy.
That's in a perfect system where there are zero losses, of course, and those don't exist.
So, in the real world, yes, it's a net loss.
