hho? A quickl spin through Wikpedia just to make sure this wasn't some new acronym for an electrical gadget and I find:

1) Herbig–Haro object
being a "distinct type of emission nebula" formed by a new star, the most I can claim for emmissions is out my Exhaust ports...... so I guess you're not trying to make one of them.....

2) Home heating oil
Mine is sufficiently old I could probaly burn the stuff & generate a couple of gee gees (I did get a clamshell to run on diesel many years ago! - a 30HP behaved like a 2.5, but it ran) I guess you don't want a refinery on board to generate the stuff, so probably not that....

3) Brown's gas and HHO are fringe science terms for a 2:1 mixture of oxyhydrogen allegedly endowed with special properties.
Oxyhydrogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You seriously talking about this?

Third time lucky - it's snake oil and has been discredited numerous times but people who are selling you something will talk technical bollocks all day long to prove their theories!

I would assume the OP is talking about desalinization.

I don't know of any small boats with desal.

jky - he's talking about seperating the H2 and O of water and feeding that into the engine. See his seperate thread on HHO for car engines.

Yes. I enquire about brown gas hho.
There are some hho cells out there. Some people seem to think they are a magic replacement for petrol. They aren't. But they do assist petrol to combust more efficiently thereby reducing consumption.

Has any one tried one?

See my reply to your other thread.

By the way, what evidence do you have to back up what you're saying?

Or to put it another way - this has been discredited so many times it's not credible in the slightest!
