The current required to effect the electrolysis of water is produced by a homopolar generator 4. The homopolar generator 4 may be wind powered and produces low voltage, high direct current which may be supplied to low pressure, low temperature water in electrolysis units. The homopolar generator 4 preferably comprises means 7 to produce a toroidal magnetic field 12, means to position a conductive metal disc 5 in the magnetic field 12 and means 16,18,19 to collect the electric current generated in the disc 5 when it is rotated in the magnetic field 12. |
