In all of the Internet sites I've looked at, I've never seen anything about using oxygen as a fuel for combustion engines. I'm wondering if this has ever been done, and if not, why not?

You are so on the Right Track ! Here's what I've found, a way to Mix Air with Gasoline before it goes into the Engine. That's what My Avatar is a Photo of, Vaporized Gasoline Ignited to Prove it can be done ! 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.Problem; on all Vehicles in the USA,from 1996 to the Present, under the EPA-OBD II Law, Engines must run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.Any Change is Illegal, and will result in a Failed Vehicle Inspection ! With Vaporized Fuel, even the Largest SUV could get 50 + MPG, & Emit 10 X less Pollution. But again, it's Illegal on any Vehicle from ' 96 & up ! I'm not the first to figure this out. Far from it ! Go to www.fuelvapors.com, and find out what happened to [the late] Tom Ogle. He was Offered $25 Million to keep His Fuel Vaporizer off the Market. He Refused. He's Dead ! Also, Check out http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html And, for an even better Photo, check out My "360" !

You cannot use Oxygen as a power booster. it is too volatile in a pure form. It would destroy any engine that it is used in. Nitrous Oxide's power boosting component is oxygen, but it is buffered by nitrogen. It has 2 parts nitrogen to 1 part oxygen. I'm sure you have seen the carnage that can be caused by using nitrous oxide irresponsibly, now think of what would happen if you used it in a pure form. The combustion would be so intense that the engine would not be able to handle it and come to pieces.

The only way you could use atmospheric oxygen as fuel is to split it. Oxygen in the air is O2, in other words, each molecule of oxygen is composed of two atoms of oxygen. If you split it into single atoms, it will release energy when it recombines.
But that's the problem--it recombines. Monatomic oxygen would have to be made on the fly. You can't store it.

We are using oxygen as part of the mixture in fuel. The Air is mixed with the gas in the carburator or fuel injectors as it enters the combustion cambers.

In order to have combustion (i.e. to burn something) you need a fuel and an oxidizer. Oxygen is the oxidizer; it can not burn by itself.
You need some fuel - gasoline, methane, hydrogen, coal, cod liver oil - that you mix with oxygen to get combustion.
(A fuel without oxygen won't burn either).

Oxygen does not burn. It supports combustion of other substances but will not burn on its own - so it'd be useless as a motor fuel.

No, yet i did attempt to many circumstances to eat soup with a spoon, pretty if a soup is thick (you are able to thicken the soup effectively via including some flour). It takes more effective time, so I take excitement in it longer

its areally good idea but i would think that race cars & airplaines or jets would be useing oxygen already
