Most I've heard of were hoaxes. They used calcium carbide to create actylene gas, like old miners' lamps.
Splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen is easily done but requires more power to do it than the output, of gases, then burning, or combustion, to make power and water.
It would require sizable apparatus and energy source to produce enough energy. There is no net gain. there is a sizable loss as is in any conversion to energy or of energy. If they ever develop a catalyist they can have cold fusion and supposedly big net gain.
