This is a process where water is converted from H2O to HHO that can be burned and used as fuel.

WOW, that's one intersting topic. I just read up on it at this site if you want to take a look.

Their are several processes for breaking water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen (I assume thats what you are calling HHO).
All the processes take more energy to make the fuel gas, than you get by burning the fuel gas (HHO or whatever you want to call it)
The most common method is electrolysis. That is where you use electical energy to separate the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The amount of electricity that it takes to make the split, is more than you will get by using the gas as fuel.
Water is not a fuel. It already burned or oxydized. You can un-burn it by putting in lots of energy. Then you can burn it back together and get less energy.

based on the patent HHO is produced by an electrolyzer.
Although there are other claims that H2O can be used as a subsitute for gasoline, I stil believe that energy can not be created or destroyed.
To convert H2O to an energy source, we need to consume energy to convert it to HHO or H2.
If the starting product is water and the end product of using it as an energy source is water. Then there is no energy released. Therefore, it is not a viable source of energy

HHO is H2O. I think you mean H2 which is hydrogen gas. It can be burnt as a fuel, but no you don't produce it from H2O because it takes more energy to go from H2O to H2 then you can recover from burning it to form H2O. i.e. Waste of energy.
If you do a search on hydrogen fuel cells you'll be able to find out how they produce and use H2 as a source of energy. It's pretty much just in the research stage however.

For a lab, use a dc battery and put the + & - in water and collect the bubbles around the probes respectively

i think its the same, just said differently cuz 2h is an ionic compound.
