Claim Text:
1. An electrolytic system for producing hydrogen and oxygen gases from water comprising: a reservoir mounted at a great water depth in a body of water; said reservoir containing a water content and a pair of electrodes exposed to said water content; said electrodes being connected to a battery; said reservoir having a turbine and an electric generator connected thereto; said turbine having a water inlet opening for passing a flow of makeup water through said turbine and for maintaining stable a level of said water content in said reservoir; said water inlet opening being exposed to a turbine pressure equivalent to a water pressure at said great water depth; said flow of makeup water operating said turbine at said turbine pressure and said electric generator; said reservoir having a vent pipe extending therefrom to a height above said great water depth to atmospheric pressure; said vent pipe communicating with said water content for maintaining said water content inside said reservoir at said atmospheric pressure; said water inlet opening comprising a valve for controlling said flow of makeup water into said reservoir and for controlling a rate of electrolysis separation of said water content into oxygen and hydrogen gases; said great water depth being a determination from a linear equation that is dependent on a conductivity of said water, material and surface area of said electrodes, a voltage from said battery at said electrodes, and a capacity of said turbine and electrical generator, such that an electrical power generated by said electric generator at said flow of makeup water through said turbine is equal or more than an electrical energy drawn by said electrodes from said battery to operate said electrodes at said rate of electrolysis separation.
