Keith,
> I even found my old notes on the subject
when I was looking for the work I just presented. Trip
down memory lane... Why do you ask?
Well there are several videos on YouTube - most too amateurish to recommend - and several active threads on groups I am following - where people are modifying small ICEs to run on water injected through a converted spark plug and converted electrical system. Can't find the best video, seen earlier as it has been removed - but here is sample-

and yes - most of them seem pretty far from pulling this off as of now - but who knows.... I have seen one which purported to show an engine running on water, but there is no assurance it was not faked.
What "might" happen, aguably - and with some good engineering - since no one believes that water alone is possible to use as a robust fuel - is that (NONdistilled) low ethanol "beer" of about 10% alcohol 90% water content - will be sufficient. This would actually be a huge breakthrough, believe it or not.
... or else my personal favorite fringe idea for transportation fuel - a "gel" of about 5% colloid content 95% water (the colloid is a natural product - alpha cellulose i.e. micro pulverized sawdust) BUT most of the energy is coming from water "structure" (the Pollack EZwater) not the colloid ....
