OK, you put in electricity and get hydrogen. So where are the efficiency numbers? Just using an electrolyzer to break up water is about 70% efficient, in terms of energy out / energy in.

I realize there may not be an ideal oxygen mixture down there but wouldn’t there still be problems with using extreme heat in the presence of hydrogen???
