forgive my crude drawing, but i saw somewhere online that it require 4.6 kj of energy to electrolosis 1 mole of H2O, but that the recombination of H and O in a fuel cell produced 4.8 kj of energy per mole. (not counting the heat produced that you could capture with a sterling.
if this is true (which i dont know if it is or not)
then technically wouldnt my device in the drawing run forever (after you kick-started it with a battery of course, and assuming you never run out of water)
and wouldn't it also produce excess Hydrogen to be used for something else?
