I have been holding back for years just to see who would actually bring up some simple facts.
First.
You really should actually read the documents you've quoted.
On the NASA, DOT, etc. front you are comparing apples to oranges. The NASA studies were looking at injecting lots of hydrogen into engines. That works and has an impact. These HHO generators don’t do that–they make about 1 liter of HHO per minute. If you have a 2 liter engine running at 3000 rpm that means you are chugging through 12,000 liters of air and fuel. How is 1/12,000 of that possibly going to change the results by 50-150%? It simply defies all logic. Hydrogen has great potential as a storage medium for energy but that is not what is going on with HHO.
And on modern computer controlled cars the computer will only let you lean it out so far before it shut you down. These test were done on old carb vehicles.
Please, please explain the math of how many liters even the best of these bubblers can produce add up to the very basics of the math. Even if you you could produce 5 liters per minute it still will not add up. Just stating logic.
And if you bother to look at the set up it has zero to do with a HHO bubbler, In fact they are using water and methanol, Big surprise that that will lower emissions ehh??An experimental program using a multicylinder reciprocating engine was performed to extend
the efficient lean operating range of gasoline by adding hydrogen. Both bottled hydrogen and
hydrogen produced by a research methanol steam reformer were used. These results were
compared with results for all gasoline. A high-compression-ratio, 7. 4-liter (472-in. 3) d i s placement
production engine was used.
Page 28, also notice it's taking up half the room, They used a tank of Hydrogen not a little bubble, Which begs the question why not just add a tank of hydrogen with a regulator to achieve the same thing with real output versus the small amount HHO kits produce.
Notice on Page 25 the amounts of water/methanol were used, The combined amount equals that of 1.5gph water injection nozzle.
Also note no bubble is used, It's essentially a water / methanol mix tank heated to steam and re-introduced into the engine compared against bottle hydrogen. Am I wrong?

Performance of methanol reformer. -The methanol reformer system was designed as a research tool to check and verify the concept of steam reformation of methanol as an efficient way to produce hydrogen. The size, weight, and location of components with respect to the engine were dictated by the desire to observe and measure the factors influencing the overall system performance. Certain control problems occurred. Instabilities originated either in the engine or the reformer system and were passed on to the other component, which changes a stable condition into an unstable one. For instance, if the engine surged because of misfire at lean operation, oscillations in the exhaust flow rate and the manifold pressure also occurred. Since the exhaust flow was used to heat the catalyst, these flow oscillations caused oscillations in the reformer-product flow rate. The reformer-product flow rate was partially controlled by the manifold pressure, so manifold instabilities augmented any existing reformer-product flow instabilities.
Guess what when you inject methanol in your vehicle it reverts to steam at 143F i.e it makes hydrogen. And it's one of the reasons I hammer this subject because that's a basic fact that nobody seems to know. Guess what it will not increase your mpg 40% either. But it will let you run your car leaner.

Seriously does nobody know steam reforming is one of the main ways to make hydrogen?
You would do far better with the bubbler to use pure methanol vs water anyways.Fossil fuel reforming, hydrogen reforming or catalytic oxidation, is a method of producing useful products, such as hydrogen or ethylene from fossil fuels. Fossil fuel reforming is done through a fossil fuel processor or reformer.[1] At present, the most common fossil fuel processor is a steam reformer. This conversion is possible as hydrocarbons contain much hydrogen. The most commonly used fossil fuels for reforming today are methanol and natural gas[2], yet others as propane, gasoline, autogas, diesel fuel, methanol and ethanol are also being looked into for reforming.[3] During the conversion, the leftover carbon is released into the atmosphere.[4] On an industrial scale, it is the dominant method for producing hydrogen. Small-scale steam reforming units are currently subject to scientific research, as way to provide hydrogen to fuel cells.
From NASA in 2002, why does nobody quote this document?
http://www.methanol.org/pdf/JPL_DMFC.pdf
Less Voltage is needed to electrolyze methanol than to electrolyze water at the
same current density, as indicated by these plots of data from an experiment with a prototype
methanol electrolyzer and a commercial water electrolyzer.
A mix of water and methanol with a molar concentraation ratio (water:methanol) of 1.3 - 1.5 pressured to approximately 20 bar aand heated to a temperature of 250C - 280C creates hydrogen.
For example, if an engine running on gasoline has a compression ratio is 10:1, the cylinder pressure at top dead center (TDC) is
p_{TDC} = (1 bar) \times 10^{1.4} = 25.1 bar
Instant hydrogen generator, and makes way more than any bubble does. We have people pushing 14gph to 60gph of meth through there engines with it leaned out to the jagged edge for max perofmance. Guess what no 40% fuel savings to be had with that either. I get about 5% better mpg on my explorer injecting a 50/50 mix of water/alcohol with a 2gph nozzle which produces more hydrogen than any bubbler on the market so were is the magic?
I'm not trying to kill your experiment but if your going to go through all the trouble of the whole HHO thing you should know that that is the least effecient means of making hydrogen there is. And using water is a bigger waste of time. You could double the amount of hydrogen you produced with methanol and you would still not see the huge gains claimed by these kits.
Just FYI for those who actually want to read all the facts.
