HHO as a name is misleading. However, producing gas from the electrolysis of water is definitely not a myth, it's also known as Hydroxy or Brown's Gas. This gas is generated by the electrolysis of water. The "myth" part is usually related to the incorrect assumption that HHO refers to a chemical compound (like H20) and also to how much energy one has to put in to the system to make the electrolysis happen

Conventional physics says that you have to put more energy into the electrolysis than you get out in HHO (i.e. the efficiency of electrolysis is less than 100%). But there's nothing to stop you storing the gases produced (although proceed with caution - the stuff is explosive and toxic!!!).

Unfortunately I don't have the answer to how many BTU in 1 liter of HHO - but I'd like to know too.

The closest I have to an answer is about 2000 BTU per cubic foot. This is based on the unqualified assumption that Hydroxy contains 60,000 kJ/m3 of energy (unqualified in that I found this via a Google search and no reference was given for that number).

For comparison Natural Gas has about 1000 BTU / ft3 & Propan about 2500 BTU / ft3.

28.32 Liters to 1 cubic foot. So, if 1 cu.ft. of HHO equals 2000 BTU's (est), then 1 liter would produce 70 btu's

One liter of water contains 1234.44 liters of hydrogen and 604.69 liters of oxygen.

How do we know this?

1 liter of water weighs 1000g. Water is composed of 11.11% H2 and 88.89% O2 by mass. 1 liter of H2 weighs 0.09g and 1 liter of O2 weighs 1.47g. It means that 111.11g of Hydrogen and 888.89g of Oxygen are in 1000g of water. 111.11g/0.09g/l = 1234.44 liters of H2 and 888.89g/1.47g/l = 604.69 liters of O2 are stored in 1 liter of water.

270 BTU/cu.ft. @ 14 PSI or 1 BAR (atmosphere) @ 60 degrees F. 1 cu.ft. = 28.3L 270BTUs/28.3L= 9.54BTU/L

93,000 B.T.U. per U.S. gallon 3.78 liters per gallon- 93,000 divided by 3.78 =24,603

24,603 B.T.U.'s per liter of propane
