The simplest free energy system ever overlooked

"Can Electrolysis of water occurr while the water is under extreme pressure":

Yes, it can. All that is required is a little bit more voltage to drive the
electrolysis, and cell and electrode materials that can handle the
pressure!

It is actually rather surprising how little extra voltage is needed. It is
described by the Nernst equation (any electrochemistry or physical
chemistry textbook). It works out that only about 0.1 volt more is needed
to electrolyse water in a 200 atmosphere environment than in a 1 atmosphere
environment.

And the quote above continues as follows:

?However, at those extreme pressures, the fluids water, hydrogen,
and oxygen would all be supercritical, so they would remain dissolved
together in a single supercritical phase. I suspect that under those
conditions the hydrogen and oxygen would react to re-form water as they
diffused back together. I doubt that the experiment would be feasible for a
number of practical reasons."

I believe that the density would change and it still may work.

Good eye though. I think I like this forum.

Even if it wouldn't work at the bottom of an ocean for some reason it could work at lesser depth.
