Burning something means breaking up its molecular connection (there is no
water atom!, just a water molecule) and connect at least one participant with
oxygen. Burning water would mean breaking up the H2O to form H2O. Even if
that works spontaneous (only with a catalyst) it takes as much energy as it
gives. So it is rather pointless for driving something. Unless you push
energy into the reaction somehow. And everyone in this thread is asking you
what is providing that energy, how you transport it and (in the case of
electricity) why you don't use that energy directly instead of going the H2O
route...
