that you can build a very efficient electrolyzer this way:
Apply a DC pulse to the electrolyzer, so that gas is generated.
Now as thegraphite still stores ions in its mesh, you also still
have a battery ! Then just switch off the DC power supply and
recollect the voltage and amperage from this "battery" and
restore it in a capacitor. And then begin the cycle again.
This way you will need less power to drive the electrolyzer !
It could be, that this works best with one plate graphite and
the other plate magnesium based, cause then you still get the
potential difference of the 2 dissimular metals.
Magnesium should give the best voltage difference,
but might be too crackable in the solution, so it is consumed.
with 2 graphite rods it should also work pretty good and these
will not disintegrate as the plates.
