Um.....I dont even know where to start

So um....I was just on google and I saw an ad. So I clicked it and it brought me here : Run Your Car on Water

Now I know that this looks like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheap and prolly doesnt work and might even break my car but, I wanted to know if something like this could possible work if done right

IDK why I am even asking this.....I just kinda wanna know what other people think lol

I think you shouldn't click on too many advertisements. That's how you download spam. About the ad, I don't believe it.

Utter hooey, the way that site tries to sell it. However, do some Googling for water injection and find out how good it can be for a car and the goofy situation of burning hydrocarbon in a closed cylinder. One of its primary benefits is just keeping the combustion chamber clean: other things it may or may not do still aren't fully explained. In a given engine, at a give tune, it will allow some increase in ignition timing advance, which will usually improve an engine's performance and slightly boost gas mileage.
If you can relax about not being able to see a bloody thing, notice next time how well your motor runs in a heavy fog. Proper water injection doesn't use much more than that. It was used in many WWII fighter aircraft.
Beware of "hydrogen generators": they're baloney. It takes at least as much energy to break apart water molecules as you'd get back by burning the oxygen and hydrogen back into water vapor, and the minuscule amount you could generate won't matter anyway.

Oh, and Google-up "Henry Ford Green Pill Hoax", too.
