    hmmm, kinda sounds a little fishy. I would think that you would lose a ton of energy by splitting the two H-O bonds.
    I think a more viable solution would be a new 6-stroke engine that some old guy built. I read the article in Popular Science a while ago, in some special edition about modern Inventors and their Inventions. One of the guys was IIRC a mechanical engineer and figured out this way to use water for adding another power stroke to a standard 4-stroke engine, turning it into a 6-stroke engine with 2 power strokes, as opposed to a 4-stroke with 1 power stroke.

    here's how it worked:
    1. Engine goes through standard 4-stroke cycle, suck squish bang blow, then it get's interesting.
    2. between the fourth and the fifth stroke, water is injected into the combustion chamber, hit the superhot piston, and instantly vaporize
    3. the now steam in the C. Chamber, creates a ton of pressure, and pushes piston down. thus stroke #5, power stroke #2
    4. Piston reaches Bottom Dead Center, another valve opens in the head, and the piston pushes the steam out of the valve (separate from the standard intake and exhaust valves), the steam is condensed, and sent to a reservoir to be re injected later.

    So, the strokes are:
    1. Intake
    2. Compression
    3. Expansion, Gasoline Power Stroke
    4. Exhaust
    5. Water Injection, Steam Power Stroke
    6. Steam Exhaust

    No- will not work. Ever.

    You have lost all respect I might have ever had for you by posting it as a serious idea for consideration.

    I'm sure it works. I believe it cause I read it on the internet.

    I'm pretty sure injecting oxygen into a normal internal combustion engine is a bad idea. This is one of many things wrong with this totally retarded plan. The other is a little thing called CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
