Tall tales (ICE running on water)

I was speaking to a gentleman the other week who claimed to be some kind of engineer, he said one of his relatives had worked on the water charger that was fitted to WWII aeroplanes, I said 'Ah! water injection?' He said No, no, running on water... I asked him if it was HHO and expressed scepticism about that, he went on to explain that if you compress water (in a very strong steel tube), and pass an electric current through it, it creates an arc, atomises the water, and you get 'fusion gas'; that is what produces the power. His car outside, he said, had these tubes in each spark plug hole.
The enormous pressures needed to compress the water come from the car's vacuum system. And so on, all with a perfectly straight face.

Just thought I'd share that. I wonder if you did do this, put a body of water under great pressure and pass electricity through it, what would happen?
