THe same thing was on a TV show, I don't know if it was a Disney production or another one. I do recall it being black and white movie..
However it was a water powered car.
Come to think of it - Jethro also converted the 'truck' to run on water on the TV show Beverly Hillbillies.
Water does have some potential energy. If you split the water with electricity into hydrogen and oxygen, you can run a typical generator or even seen it run a lawn mower engine. Yes this is real, and will work, however the amount of electricity it takes to convert the water into hydrogen is a LOT. IT is much easier to make hydrogen with natural gas, coal gas, or other sources of fuel, other than water.
I don't think that a electrical generator can produce enough hydrogen to run the hydrogen generator and provide additional energy, that would be really interesting to hear about.. .. But I don't think that can happen.
Good luck!
