Nice capsule summary, PaperProphet.

Only thing that perhaps you missed is that this concept has been around since the 1970's, originally developed by JPL I believe.

One might surmise therefore that it is not commercially viable or, if it is, that an outfit with more than $500,000 would develop it successfully.

from HYHY 10K
"The science behind HFI is well documented. It has been known for some time
(since a 1974 paper by the Jet Propulsion Lab of the California Institute of
Technology) that the addition of hydrogen to fossil fuels, burned in internal
combustion engines, will increase the efficiency of that engine. This premise
has been validated by a number of papers published by the Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE). The concept is valid with any fossil fuel
(diesel, gasoline, propane, natural gas) or bio-fuel (biodiesel, ethanol)
though it is most effective in diesel engines. Among other, more subtle
effects, the faster flame speed of hydrogen allows for a more complete burn
of the fuel earlier in the power cycle. Of course, electrolysis itself is
well understood.

The HYHY technology differs from its competitors in that it focuses on
delivering an engineering solution using these scientific principles that is
reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. As an integral part of the research
and development cycle, HYHY delivers an HFI solution geared toward a specific
vertical market that has gone through an extensive field trial and testing
verification stage."
