I did. Read a Physics book.

If a machine is to produce X Kilowatt-hours of work, you must supply it with X Kilowatt-hours of energy times the net efficiency of the conversion process. Water will in no way provide any amount of net combustion energy no matter how you catalyze the reaction of splitting it into its constituent atoms.

All you can hope to do is bring the efficiency closer to 1.
