My understanding is there is enough hydrogen (and gaseous oxygen) in the
conversion (and they use Lye as a catalyst) to burn off buildup in the
engine where eventually your fuel consumption goes down by a certain
percentage. The claim also is that the engines computer adjusts your fuel
mixture and all of this takes about two or three weeks to occur depending on
the engine. The unit requires about 10 amps to run but that is adjusted by
the amount of Lye in the chamber. It is possible to run it high enough to
load your alternator down and cancel whatever saving your doing.  The units
truely do produce the gases they say. Whether they are enough to do anything
productive is in question.

One can build one of these units versus buying one by using carbon rods out
of an old dry cell, some pvc piping and some fittings.
The cheapest one for sale is similar and the costlier ones are stainless
steel.

My preference is chemically stored hydrogen which the engione runs on
exclusively. We're talking 10k for a system like that once the government
says we can have have it (for purchase).  Then there is the cost of getting
the hydrogen into the stored form which is more cost.
All of this could be made cheap is they wanted it to be. They just don't
want it to be. We've come a long way since the Wright brothers in planes and
spaceships, but we still have clunky engines in our cars running on fossil
fuels.

eh, my .02
