You know all the weird ideas that go through you mind when trying to get to sleep after surfing the net....
If an ICE was running on hydroxy in a closed loop situation there would be no emissions.

The theory:
Carburetor completely removed to effectively give unrestricted airflow therefore reducing engine loading. [Engine output controlled solely by fuel volume supplied.]

Exhaust bubbled though a water storage tank via a perforated pipe [perforated to enhance minimum back pressure] then recycled back to the air intake. Ie A closed loop system. Also use of an intercooler to cool the exhaust gasses to keep the recycled air and water as cool as possible.
Some venting would be required to accommodate volume changes at different temps, and altitudes otherwise the tank could collapse or burst.

Multipoint fuel injection system converted to inject water as required from the exhaust tank to prevent overheating of the combustion area and valves.

Hydroxy produced by a multitude of cells that are powered individually as required dependent on throttle position. Water replenished from separate water tank to prevent possible cell contamination from the exhaust.

Initial acceleration could be assisted by a system similar to the ElectrochargerTM

Quote “(HDCC) or High Density Carbon Capacitor.
Just use: Standard Nu-Kote® Carbon Paper Film for Typewriter or Handwriting, One side of the Carbon paper film is Carbon and the opposite side is a Polyester film backing that acts as a dielectric insulator.
These Carbon sheets are stackable, I myself put them together inside a package bag and remove the air in the bag with a Tilia FoodSaver Vac 550 Food Vacuum Sealer Kit.
Inside the bag is two Aluminum plates sandwiching the stack of Carbon Paper sheets, there are two terminals that protrude from each side and sealed with Silicone for air tightness.
The Carbon sheets will remain dry inside the vacuum bag for along time.
The Capacitance is dependant on how many stacked sheets you use.” unquote

Closed loop may not be practical. According to theories of some, water is capable of picking up and retaining excess solar induced energy within its structure as it goes through the earths water cycle, and this energy is expended when the water is used. Water exhausted would be devoid of this excess energy, hence it would not have excess energy to expend if used a second time. Dunno if it's true, it's just theories.
