Creating energy means getting more out than you put in and is 
impossible. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be 
transferred
This system involves the engine burning hydrogen and oxygen and creating 
water. This H and O2 is produced from two electrodes in a tank of water. 
This principle is absolutely sound, and as the exhaust would be pure 
water vapour, it could be piped back to the tank through a condenser - 
no by products and no loss. Therefore the only energy you're putting 
into this system is the electrical energy of the battery. I'm ignoring 
the alternator because this is running off the engine burning the H2 and 
by the nature of energy conservation, cannot possibly generate enough 
current to generate enough gas to run the engine to turn the alternator 
to generate the current to produce the gas....... perpetual motion.
It'd be a lot easier and more efficient to plug the battery into an 
electric motor. At least you're only transferring energy once.
