There were dozens of small-time inventors working on gliders along the same principle as the Wright's before the brothers, and there were a number of powered flights before the Wrights... mostly balloons, but there were at least three or four different teams who had heavier-than-air powered aircraft at the same time as the Wrights. The difference is: the Wrights had a camera.
There are similarities, yes... a lot of people are "working" on the water-powered car... but a lot of bogus claims regarding water-combustion point to the fact that succh a vehicle is quite a loooong ways away from reality.
