no you get the exact same amount of water.

No it doesn't beak any rules. You expend some amount of energy to pull apart the water molecules. You then burn the hydrogen and get less energy back than you used to split the the water molecules. No rules of physics or thermal dynamics are violated as you end up with a net loss.

This is why these systems are a scam

Hydrogen is great but you'll never get hydrogen from really burning hydrogen.
Fusion of hydrogen into helium requires several things. First you can't use the hydrogen you get from ordinary water. You need deuterium which is in one form of heavy water. Secondly you need to smash the nuclei together with tremendous force. This can be done by using a particle accelerator or heating it to the temperature of the sun. Neither of these conditions exist in an automobile engine.
