I don't believe for a second water is being "ionized to hydrogen and oxygen" as an aquaintance of mine claims. This is what I think is going on.
These devices usually have a water jacket on an exhaust manifold, from which vapors are drawn into the intake. I'm guessing there is a small amount of vater vapor condensing in the intake, then being flashed to steam in the combustion chamber. If the engine was turboed, it might be useful, after all, some large turbocharged aircraft engines used water injection to delay detonation.
Oh well.
