【Haichuan Chemical: Expanding Horizons】Please explain using chemical principles how the combustion of water takes place

I saw this in a short video
Two layered media are used, with oxygen supplied to the bottom, along with a flammable medium such as alcohol. Reaching the ignition point, it burns and floats upward.
If it is a flammable liquid similar to gasoline, and the area below is heated to the temperature at which gasoline vaporizes, can bubbles rise to the surface of the water through the water layer? Burned in open flame? ?
It’s similar to a tornado; during its rotation, the pressure at the center is relatively low. The substances with a low boiling point that are dissolved in the water will vaporize and rise upward, and that’s how ignition occurs
In your case, the lateral airflow drives the water to rotate, creating vortices; the center of these vortices becomes a gas channel
What you say makes sense, but it’s not as complicated as you describe

Sorry for the inappropriate example: lol I just understood – there are tubes inserted below as well, right? Flammable liquids are injected down to penetrate the water layer, and when moisture comes into contact with an open flame, it catches fire.
…………One thing is clear: water is not a fuel, so it certainly won’t burn. Things like hydrogen-powered cars are nothing but a form of trickery to deceive people,…:)………
