NOVELTY - An electrolytic cell (2) comprises containment vessel (4) configured for pressurization; first electrode; second electrode; a source of electrical current in electrical communication with the first electrode and second electrode; electrolyte in fluid communication with first electrode and second electrode; first gas is formed during electrolysis at or near the first electrode; second gas is formed during electrolysis at or near second electrode; a separator (10), first gas collection vessel; and second gas collection vessel.    USE - As an electrolytic cell (claimed), used in production of hydrogen and oxygen.    ADVANTAGE - The electrolytic cell provides more efficient mass transport including rapid ion replenishment processes and deliveries to desired electrodes by pumping actions of low-density gases escaping from a denser liquid medium as described herein. This assures greater electrical efficiency, more rapid dissociation, and greater separation efficiency along with prevention of undesirable side reactions. Increasing the rate and efficiency of ion production and delivery to electrodes increases the system efficiency and current limit per electrode area.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An electrolytic cell (2) comprises a containment vessel (4) configured for pressurization; a first electrode; a second electrode; a source of electrical current in electrical communication with the first electrode and second electrode; an electrolyte in fluid communication with the first electrode and the second electrode; a first gas, where the first gas is formed during electrolysis at or near the first electrode; a second gas, where the second gas is formed during electrolysis at or near the second electrode; a separator (10), a first gas collection vessel; and a second gas collection vessel, where the separator includes a first inclined surface to direct flow of the electrolyte and the first gas due to a difference between density of the electrolyte and combined density of the electrolyte and the first gas such that the gas flows in a direction distal the second electrode and towards the first gas collection vessel, where the separator includes an second inclined surface to direct flow of the electrolyte and the second gas due to a difference between density of the electrolyte and combined density of the electrolyte and the second gas such that the gas substantially flows in a direction distal the first electrode and towards the second gas collection vessel, where first gas comprises hydrogen and the second gas comprises oxygen. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for improving the efficiency of an electrolytic cell involving providing an electrolytic cell; performing electrolysis in the electrolytic cell where a first gas and a second gas is produced in the electrolytic cell during the electrolysis; providing a first gas collection vessel distinct from the electrolytic cell and in fluid communication with the electrolytic cell; capturing the first gas in the first gas collection vessel prior to substantial expansion of the first gas; expanding the first gas; capturing work generated from the expansion of the first gas; providing a second gas collection vessel distinct from the electrolytic cell and in fluid communication with the electrolytic cell; capturing the second gas in the second gas collection vessel prior to substantial expansion of the second gas; expanding the second gas; and capturing work generated from the expansion of the second gas.
