When water is turned into gas it becomes two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.
Common water is _always_ two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen - whether it be in its solid phase (ice), liquid phase (water) or gaseous phase (steam).

To separate it into hydrogen and oxygen, water needs to be dissociated, which (and here's the rub) requires power - at least as much as will be gained by recombining (burning) them (I say at least as much to account for losses).

Still, don't let scientific facts get in the way of your experiments. And keep posting, cranks are always entertaining! ;^)
