| I replied to you on the other thread that got deleted, so I'll repost it here. I'm not trying to claim that it's not possible to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. It is very easy to do, all it requires it some electricity. It's call electrolysis. The problem with using it in an engine is that it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from the water than the energy contained in the produced hydrogen and oxygen will produce. In other words, if you use 50 watts of electricity to electrolyze water and get hydrogen and oxygen, and then you burn that hydrogen and oxygen in a very efficient engine, you will not produce nearly 50 watts. You'll produce much less, maybe 10 watts. In other words, it will take more power to produce the fuel, than the fuel will give you. You might use 50 watts of power to produce 10 watts worth of fuel. So it's not practical to use in an engine, since including such a system will rob your engine of some power.
