Have fun and be creative!

Haha, lots of fun! Sort of a Rube Goldberg / Heath Robinson device.

It may have range issues though.

Water is not fuel. It is hydrogen ash. Exhaust.

The car is powered by air pressure and an accumulator. The water is pumped into the accumulator, and the air pressure pushes it back out through the turbine motor. Very well done and way underpowered, as expected. Good work future scientists.
