Not sure what happened to the date on the last few posts, anyhow wanted to add some info.
here is a link for air to water ionization - this is related to a single lightning strike, not several discharges like the above video:

Your insite to steam is one I have been working towards for awhile now also, Instead of expanding water 1800x steam is already 1600x there so the expansion is only needed 200x more.
Steam:
has more energy than water,
has less chemicals,
has a lower dielectric constant,
has a lower density, etc...
All which point in favor of spliting into H and O with voltage fields.
On the automotive X deal you are working on some pointers:
1-Add a massive Ozone generator to the intake, improvements on fuel by 7 to 10%
(seen a patent on this after I done the chemistry math - patent backed my findings. Although I should say I backed the patent findings since it was first, but I didn't know that at the time).
2- If you are looking for most efficiency add exhaust heat to the intake, you will loose HP. due to air density losses, but increase the miles per gallon. (I have been thinking of having a link cable tied to the gas pedel - full throttle lets in the cold air, less throttle lets in the hot air, heat exchanger with exhaust pipe)
If you get the investers interested try going with ionized intake air instead of Ozone - not sure if that would improve more than ozone.
I have more ideas on the subject but don't want to bore you with them.
