I knew a kid at boarding school who claimed his dad worked at BMW and was looking into this. Years later Im working at BMW in the cafeteria and I meet the kid’s dad. He did in fact look into hydrolysis for making hydrogen for cars on paper but couldn’t figure out how to not make the car explode in an accident.
Wouldn’t the hydrolysis of the water take energy that required fuel though? The claim seemed to be more that the water was the fuel so to speak, as in the same way that petrol is in current combustion engines.

German Navy U-Boats run on water.
Yes but they first were concerned with making the fuel system not explode and they never managed to figure it out.
