The energy used to produce the hydrolysis is greater than the mechanical energy provided by the engine using the hydrogen generated, which is reduced even further by the losses in the alternator that produces the electricity for the hydrolysis.
What you are proposing violates the basic law of physics of conservation of energy. It does not work.
This is really no big secret deal, even a talented high school student could cobble up one of these "engines" as a science project.
That will come as quite a surprise to the people already driving hydrolosis vehicles around the world. Beware of cars with fuel tanks instead of the on-demand hydrolysis units. One's with tanks will be conveniently exploded to publicize "how dangerous these cars are: ie: you shouldn't buy them". On-demand hydrogen cars have no storage of hydrogen and no "bombs" on board the car; though gasoline tanks are also bombs too as you see in the news from time to time...
Here are some hydrogen cars that run off water for sale today. 2015 is slated for the really big release of hydrogen fueled cars. It's very simple, you have an electric battery just like regular cars that starts the hydrolysis and the car's combustion begins. As it runs, a second alternator using remarkably little current, so less of a drag on the powerful hydrogen combustion motor, keeps the electroylisis going on-demand. It uses less power than many of these boom box sound systems you see punks driving those big speakers with. And far less power than all the smog belts and recirculators in conventional gas cars.
You'd think American car manufacturers would want to be on the cutting edge of this old science. But alas, no. Korea and Japan are the ones building these cars for 2015. "Strangely" [after designed-to-fail models like the toyota prototype I saw a picture of at a trade's fair in Las Vegas with a sign on the fuel tank saying "fuel tank"] hydrogen cars will be outlawed in the US.
You don't need to. On-demand hydrolysis won't explode like a hydrogen tank or a gasoline tank would...
