I stand by my statement. The energy produced from burning hydrogen cannot add to the power output of a motor if that motor is also powering the electrolysis producing the hydrogen. That's what the formulas describe, and that's a fundamentally true statement.
If there's a side effect of the hydrogen injection that gains efficiency for the gas/diesel combustion, there may certainly be an overall gain, which I stated in post #6 before you mentioned it in #14. But that's unrelated to the issue of energy conservation which you were attempting to dispute by mentioning turbos and regenerative braking.
