You'd be far more efficient taking the power used to perform the electrolysis, storing it in a battery and utilizing it in an electric motor.

Well that was my first thought and question reguarding the claim that someone drove from coast to coast on 22gals of water. If thats were true the vehicles charging system would produce the gas at a sufficient rate.
If it is in fact a net negative fuel source, again my first thought, you would not be able to generate enough electricity using on board charging system powered by the very engine being fueled.
