This is why I was talking about conservation of energy. The hydrolysis process is getting its energy from the engine. That energy is breaking Water down into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Which is then put into the engine and burned for extra energy. But no human system is 100% efficient. So the energy taken from the engine to run the hydrolysis is greater then the energy gained from the Oxygen and Hydrogen going back into the engine.

Again I don't disagree that an extra 30 amps on the alternator will add some extra pull to the alternator theoretically but here's my thoughts... The alternator is already turning when the car is on and I suspect that the output from the alternator is much higher than the car needs to actually run itself. If that's true then the 30 amps extra is just taking up juice from the alternator that was being wasted anyway. I don't know this for certain but that's my best guess.
I am a structural engineer, not a mechanical, but I've done my share of work on cars and helicoptors that physics and mechanical equipment are far from beyond my abilities, just stating that as a reference point is all, no bragging or any shit like that intended.
