basically you take a jar(or multiple jars for better results) put an anode and a cathode in(stainless steel wire works best) and put electricty to it, it splits the water into H and O and pipe it into your intake(if you have any kind of forced induction put it before that  to it still pulls a vacuum) for a diesel you're done, for a gas engine you need to trick your sensors to use the hydrogen more effeciently.

Sounds like BS to me.  While electrolysis like this is an experiment done in many high school science classes, conservation of energy still applies.  You won't get more energy out of burning the by-products than you put into the system electrically to break down the water in the first place.  Given all the losses of your standard internal combustion engine and drive train, you'd be better off tying an electric motor to your drive shaft to use as an acceleration booster a la hybrids...

like i said, i know it sounds like B.S. but one of my instructors built one similar and he got 30-40% increase in MPG (when he keeps his foot out of it Smiley ). and i think where this confuses people is that this is an additive, not a fuel, so the purpose of the hydrogen isnt to power the car, its to help the fuel you're already using get maximum effeciency. so the best way to look at this is a effeciency enhancer NOT a power enhancer.
