If so (and I have seen purported video of this)...don't we have an unending supply of clean fuel ALREADY?

No. Water is already burnt, it cannot burn more, regardless of what the charge is.

yes its Called Electrolysis of Water and it cuts the bond between the H20 Hydrogen and Oxygen ,but uses more electricity than commercially viable at this time , great thinking for Clean Fuel . God help us if they do find a way to make it cost effective , because it would drive water prices through the roof and with the greater demand for power and no population control , we would suck this Dry in just a few Hundred years , without water no life could exist here on earth .

If you negatively charge water you will break the covalent bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms and the result will be hydrogen and oxygen gas. This will burn better than anything in the universe!

Sure it can. Of course, the amount of energy needed to charge it enough to make it burn is more than the amount of energy you get out of burning it, but thems the second law of thermodynamics breaks!

Are you refering to highly charged mists when cold and hot water streams meet? Are you refering to charge produced in steam electrification? Both require input of energy to start with.
I am not sure what this question is?

Do you mean like Hydroxide ion? Cause they are negatively charged and they are soluble in water. And if you have enough concentration of them, they do burn.

The answer is yes but not in it's present molecular state.
It would cost too much to do it commercially.

Why would charging water make it more flammable?
