No you did not run it on water. You ran it on Brown's gas. Not the same thing.
The amount of energy needed to convert water into brown's gas is quite large and strictly more than the energy output you can receive from the engine burning it.
So when you say "woohoo! Ran on water!", you are quite incorrect.
But still, this does seem to be a very promising development towards the "hydrogen" economy.
We ran the motor over and over again on the Hydrogen. The hard part is producing the Hydrogen fast enough to keep it going. Its does seem more efficient to use the electricity to push an electric motor than to split water. It sure was fun to make though
Big deal, so what. Running an internal combustion engine on hydrogen is no feat. Hydrogen was used as proof of concept on the first internal combustion engine.
Looks good, sounds goood, but your engin stoped because it ran out of gasoline.
How do I Know? I'm working with the same set up. Put a little gasoline in the tank then start it up. Idle it then use the HHO to increase the RPM and let it run until the gasoline runs out. Sounds exactly what you have.
No. I did not have to use any gasoline. We built up the pressure in the cell until it could push a steady stream of hydrogen into the carburetor. The problem is we can't sustain the flow to keep it going. If you notice there is not gas tank attached to the carburetor.
congrats ... nicely done ... but we want to see a sustained run ... you are quite close ... once you get her running continusly, the real fun starts ... water in the crank, water fouled spark plugs, water, water every where ... LOL ...
lots of details to work out ... pick a few and try to solve them ... need more folks working on it ...

Keep working at it!!!!!

Mega Joules per liter.
Gasoline 34.2
Gaseous Hydrogen at room temperature 0.01079
HHO, two parts H one part O so divide 0.01079 by 3 x 2 = energy density 0.00719 Mega Joules per liter at room temp.
Raise temp to typical HHO cell temp 185 F (60 amps input) gas expands 21.76 percent.
0.00719 divided by 121.76 x 100 energy density now 0.00590 Mega Joules per liter.
34.2 Mega Joules divided by 0.00590, ratio of 5,796.6 to one. One gallon of gasoline = 5,796.6 gallons of HHO.
