Message	I know you're a smart guy, Nixit. I think if I showed you the right equations it would become clear to you that it is not possible to use water as fuel. Specifically the second law of thermodynamics prohibits this. You will always lose efficiency, you will never have more than 100% efficiency. The power, combined with the inherent loss of officiency to break down water will outweigh the power gains made by burning the resultant hydrogen and oxygen. This is a losing proposition, and the loss begins with the very first molecule of water that you try to break down. It doesn't matter whether you just break down 1 molecule of water, a gallon, an ocean, whatever. It also doesn't matter if you do it along side the cumbustion of gasoline. The simple fact remains that you cannot gain any power by breaking down and burning water, it will always lead to a loss in any system.
