Hydrogen converstion problems

My friend is hooking up a hydrogen cell to his 98 1.8L primz for a class project. He hooked it up to the PVC vavle and drove it 8 miles and had no problem until he came to a stop. All of sudden the check engine light came it and oil light came on and it started to spudder. He went to take off to get home and he seen a big cloud of smoke or steam. What would cause this? Too much hydrogen gettin burn when he came to a idle or what?
what do you guys think?

We think you friend slept through science and physics.

There are forums that deal specifically and enthusiastically with this garbage, this isn't one of them.

Was it knockin or pinging??
It may have sucked in the water/electrolyte mix if the container is able to be squeezed.

I had the same thing happen on my escort I tried this crap on. If you value or need the vehicle you are using this on, remove it now. HHO is a farce.

I would not hook it up through vaccuum. It is probably pulling in a lot of excess moisture with the strong vaccuum off of the PVC. Try routing the HHO tubing so that it enters the air intake just in before the throttle body.

Thanks for the info. I guess hes going to give up for the meantime.

How come that everyone else is getting great, or at the very least measurable improvements, and now you're saying it's worthless?

Maybe they didn't have the balls to admit to falling this scam?
