In 1935 Charles Garrett patented an electrolytic Carburetor which was
claimed to provide enough Hydrogen through the electrolysis of water
to run an automobile.

Which is a great idea at first glance....as long as you don't have to
pay for the electricity and either have a very long flexible cable
permanently connected to your car or have a gas compressor at home and
a heavy bulky hydrogen cylinder in your car.
So it's really a crackpot idea that will never work. The best thing
that ever came to the USA was the $4+ gallon, pity it disappeared so
soon.

The man is/was a crook. You don't get anything for nothing in the
world of physics or chemistry.
