Potential separates the + and - charges of the
Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms (breaking the bond).
Each bond takes a certain fixed amount of energy
to break (Joules). It takes about 463 kiloJoules
to break the bonds in a mole of H2O.
The individual ions (hydrogen and oxygen) then
constitute charge carriers in the electric current
that will then flow due to the potential bewteen
the cathode and anode.
Multiply the voltage by the current to obtain the
wattage.
So, Volts provides the potential difference to
break the bonds. The current is a measure of the
rate that the water is being torn apart. The
power (watts) is how much energy you need to put
into the system to do the separating and carrying
of the charges (atoms) to their electrodes.
Note that when you burn the collected hydrogen
(which spontaneously combines to form H2 -- it
doesn't stay monatomic), you only get back about
286 kJ/mole. This is because during burning H2
bond has to be broken when making the H2O bonds. |

Hi there!
It is really sad, the group fighting this has the same

They want to make a heavier than air machine fly without a balloon?

Electrolysis is TOTALLY current driven.
As GUARANTEED by Faraday's law of electrolysis. Use an electron to move
an electron.
The voltage determines whether the reaction will be exothermic,
endothermic, or neutral. Or if it occurs at all.
The reaction voltage will typically be 1.38 volts, but this is
temperature dependent. This also assumes platinized platinum electrodes.
Stainless steel will add the hydrogen overvoltage of iron, which can be
as much as an additional volt contributing to heat loss and trashing the
efficiency.
For decent gas volumes, the reaction is often quite exothermic and thus
highly inefficient.
But the entire process is inherently destructive of quality or value
since you are converting very high quality watthours into far fewer very
low quality ones.
Nobody could possibly be that dumb as to use electrolysis from high
value sources (such as grid, pv, wind, or alternator) for the production
of bulk hydrogen energy gas. The loss of exergy is utterly staggering.
That, of course, is BEFORE storage and amortization.
Not to mention safety, certification, and terrorist bomb considerations.
There ALWAYS will be more intelligent things to do with high exergy,
high value electricity than to immediately and irreversibly destroy most
of its quality and value.
If you have electricity and want hydrogen, sell the electricity, buy
some methane, and reform the methane. The process is ridiculously more
efficient as its exergy preservation is far higher.

Should be in any electrochem book.
Definitely in my older Handbook of Physics.
=======
overpotential
The difference in the electrode potential of an electrode between its
equilibrium potential and its operating potential when a current is
flowing. The overpotential represents the extra energy needed (an energy
loss that appears as heat) to force the electrode reaction to proceed at
a required rate (or its equivalent current density). Consequently, the
operating potential of an anode is always more positive than its
equilibrium potential, while the operating potential of a cathode is
always more negative than its equilibrium potential. The overpotential
increases with increasing current density, see Tafel equation. The value
of the overpotential also depends on the "inherent speed" of the
electrode reaction: a slow reaction (with small exchange current
density) will require a larger overpotential for a given current density
than a fast reaction (with large exchange current density). Also
referred to as "polarization" of the electrode. See also overvoltage.
An electrode reaction always occurs in more than one elementary step,
and there is an overpotential associated with each step. Even for the
simplest case, the overpotential is the sum of the concentration
overpotential and the activation overpotential.
overvoltage
The difference between the cell voltage (with a current flowing) and the
open-circuit voltage (ocv). The overvoltage represents the extra energy
needed (an energy loss that appears as heat) to force the cell reaction
to proceed at a required rate. Consequently, the cell voltage of a
galvanic cell (e.g., a rechargeable battery during discharging) is
always less than its ocv, while the cell voltage of an electrolytic cell
(e.g., a rechargeable battery during charging) is always more than its
ocv. Occasionally also referred to as "polarization" of the cell.
The overvoltage is the sum of the overpotentials of the two electrodes
of the cell and the ohmic loss of the cell. Unfortunately, the terms
"overvoltage" and "overpotential" are sometimes used interchangeably.
=======
As usual, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafel_equation is useful.
The overvoltage is somewhat proportional to current density, increasing
sharply with higher density values. Stainless might be a full volt,
while platinized platinum might be a very few millivolts.
The bottom line is this: STAINLESS STEEL SUCKS.
And is TOTALLY USELESS for serious electrolysis when efficiency is a factor.

spacedmon is too stupid to read a textbook of any kind. The only way he could
ever get a clue is after he has pissed away a few tens of thousands of dollars.
However, he's too lazy to do that either. He'd just rather whine about it.
No venture capitalist will give him a dime either. Nobody capable of hanging
on to a thousand dollars is stupid enough to waste even a dime on his crackpipe
dreams. |

First energy can neither be created or destroyed(1).
A highly deceptive gross oversimplification that can cause untold grief.
And demonstrates a profound and monumental ignorance of all things
thermodynamic.
A highly useful principle. The basis of much of our understanding of
the physical universe. The conservation laws are some of the most
powerful laws known to us.
Yes, other considerations are often needed but when conservation of
energy is sufficient to show an error nothing more is necessary.
Let's see.
By conservation of energy --
You fill your gas tank and drive around town.
The gas tank ends up empty.
You still have exactly as much energy as you started with, right?
Nothing has changed, right?
The question of whether you have it is a bit tricky. I'm going to
assume you mean it still exists not whether you have it to manipulate
it. It that case the answer is obviously yes :)
Whether you get to 'keep' the energy (and how much) falls under 'other
considerations'.
On the other hand if you were to ask if you could use 10 joules worth of
gasoline to lift the truck a metre 'other considerations' don't really
come into play.
Conservation of energy is a limiting principle (thus it's power) not an
enabling one.
Of course even if a process doesn't violate conservation of energy
doesn't mean it's doable or practical. But if a process does violate
conservation of energy (as the one we've been futilely discussing does)
then we need not discuss 'other considerations'. And since conservation
of energy is generally simple to consider it makes a very good first
filter.

Maybe even higher efficiency than that too.
