The H20->H2 + O2 via electrolysis concept WILL NOT WORK as has already been pointed out. The electrical drain on the alternator to do this (greater load on the engine) will require more energy than burning the H2 + O2 will give back.

You may be right but I am not sure if you are. Mike, the guy at my work that is using this, has his power coming from a wiper motor wire. I am not a car genius but isn't the power needed to run a wiper motor pretty low?

Water injection was used on one of the Evo's wasn't it? While water injection makes sense and has it's benefits, just sticking the water hose into the gas tank is crazy. The fuel and water won't mix, and you'll just end up at the repair shop.

It was a cold water mist spray onto the radiator to cool the engine temps (popular in rally cars), not to be confused with the main topic of the thread...which is water + gas fueling the engine.
as seen here....http://youtube.com/watch?v=l37U7D8AnwU
it deals with water, but its a very diffrent idea then what the OP was about which was using browns gas which is created from water.

why not just take a tank of oxygen and use that? then you get more power with less throttle input. or maybe just pressurize the existing air to get better fuel economy by having a higher MEP.
wait a second.... what's that stuff Zex makes again? and has anyone heard of this comptech company?
....that's what happens when this is taken to the next level.
