This document presents a theoretical model for an innovative impulse engine that uses water as the sole energy source. The Water-Hydrogen Impulse Motor (WHIM) generates an oxyhydrogen gas mixture (H₂ + O₂) inside the engine cylinder via direct electrolysis of a water droplet. The gas mixture is ignited immediately after formation, creating a powerful pressure wave that drives a piston. The resulting steam is condensed and the recovered water is reused in a closed-loop cycle. Unlike conventional hydrogen combustion engines, the WHIM does not rely on external hydrogen tanks or pressurized gas storage. Instead, it produces combustible gas on demand, in the exact stoichiometric ratio, directly where it is needed. This drastically increases safety and reduces complexity. The model demonstrates a self-sustaining micro-engine design, powered by water and electricity, with zero emissions aside from water vapor. This publication aims to document the concept, protect its originality, and invite interdisciplinary collaboration for future prototype development and testing. Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein theoretisches Motorkonzept (WHIM), das Wasser als Energieträger nutzt. Per Elektrolyse wird in einem geschlossenen Zylinder ein Knallgasgemisch (H₂ + O₂) erzeugt, direkt gezündet und zur Kolbenbewegung verwendet. Der entstehende Wasserdampf wird kondensiert und dem System erneut zugeführt – ein geschlossener Kreislauf ohne externe Wasserstoffzufuhr. Das Modell verzichtet vollständig auf fossile Energieträger und stellt einen innovativen Ansatz für nachhaltige Mikromotorik dar. Ziel dieser Veröffentlichung ist die formale Dokumentation zur wissenschaftlichen Weiterentwicklung und Sicherung der Urheberschaft.
