I appreciate that you have gone through the trouble to look things up and present a decent argument for your side of this debate. What bothers me is the repeated assertion that someone is "creating" or "transferring" energy. Nothing is being made in this process, it is only being brought from the water to the engine.
If we followed your logic then no car would run because the fuel pump and injector circuits would overrun the cars electrical system, rendering it undriveable. All these hydrogen converters do is "pump" the hydrogen and oxygen out of the water via an electrical current that separates the molecule, (not the atom as in nuclear fission) and requires very little energy. The process as i have seen with my own eyes for an outdoor lantern is more finesse than force. You need the proper current and pulse and it's working as long as it is built correctly.

Putting additional load on the electrical system most definitely puts additional load on the engine. Your alternator is a reverse electric motor. When you draw more electricity, the alternator is harder to turn, which makes the engine work harder, which burns more fuel, obviously.
Remember, the Second Law of Thermodynamics? It hasn't been repealed. You can change one form of energy to another, but you can never achieve 100% efficiency.
The introduction of water into the fuel mix MAY increase the amount of energy that is extractable from the gasoline through chemical and/or physical interaction with the fuel air mixture.
You 'might' idle, but not enough power to drive let alone tow!
In other words: No one is selling or showing off these things has actually used it in a car? If they had, then we would actually see them starting and driving a car with one of these. They would certainly be putting those videos up.
And so far, I have not seen even one.
