An apparatus and method is provided for the ultra-high temperature cyclic thermal disassociation of water to produce usable hydrogen, oxygen, associated gases, and heat by igniting a previously-dissociated quantity of water and directing the resultant flame at a target material within a reactor whereupon the monatomic elements of the dissociated water recombine to water vapor, release energy, absorb the released energy, and re-dissociate, thereby producing a mostly monatomic mixture of dissociated water. Preferably, steam is produced in a heat exchanger arranged about the reactor and additionally provided to the reactor to undergo thermolytic disassociation.
