Which is basically what anyone and everyone looking at the various methods of combustion enhancement already knows.
Honestly... water is already an effective method of enabling ultra-lean burn... there's no need to go the extra step of splitting it into oxygen and hydrogen through a wasteful, energy-intensive process.
