An apparatus, including an internal combustion engine, produces hydrogen fuel from water to power the engine, comprises water supply means, fuel storage means, controlling means, a collector receiving combustion products output from engine's operation, a transformer utilizing thermo-impact of the combustion products and decomposing supplied water into hydrogen and oxygen, an ion divider electrically separating hydrogen and oxygen ions into gaseous hydrogen, further directed into the fuel storage means and controllably fed substantially into engine's cylinders, and gaseous oxygen. It also includes exhaust means outputting exhaust products from the collector into the atmosphere, on their way out heating water in the water supply means. The fuel storage means contain initial hydrogen or another predetermined fuel. Electrolyzer means are provided to supplement hydrogen and oxygen ions production. Recommended temperature and parts size ranges for six-and eight-cylinder engines are disclosed. A truck engine usable embodiment is also illustrated and described.
