That is why your "formulas" do not really apply as they do not include the entire system.
That was my point. You threw out pseudo formulas like they made you right without even clicking the link. That is what I was calling you on.

Yeah, 'cause I've never seen anything like this on the internet before.

I tell you what. If I were selling something like that and it wasn't a scam, I'd have my patent number for my chemical process that allows hydrogen to make diesel and gas burn 80% more efficiently all over my website.
I'd also be selling it directly to Toyota, GM, and Ford... not viral marketing it via MySpace, Craig's List, and eBay as a pyramid business where random people build kits out of masons jars based on my eBook instructions.
And those "pseudo formulas" are in fact the formulas for electrolysis of water, and combustion of Hydrogen. And the laws of physics do require that the energy created by one equal the energy required for the other. This is basic high school chemistry. The formulas don't make me right, the laws of physics do. You cannot under any circumstances net surplus energy in a hydrogen powered engine fueled by electrolysis that's also powered by that same engine.
And as far as Hydrogen as a catalyst in diesel/gas combustion, I'd very much like to see the formulas for how that's supposed to work. If, as the site claims, the hydrogen from 1 liter of water is enough to get 80% more efficiency for 3000-4000 miles worth of gas, why isn't the gov't mandating just putting a tiny amount of hydrogen into the fuel at the gas station? Assuming a 20mpg car, that's only 2/3 of a liter of hydrogen per 175 gallons of fuel, or about a 0.1% hydrogen/fuel mixture.
No way I believe that a 0.1% hydrogen/diesel mixture burns 80% more efficiently than straight diesel. Give me a break.
