An electrolytic cell (12, 80) and method of electrolysizing and heating water (59, 89) containing a conductive salt in solution. The electrolytic cell (12, 80) includes a nonconductive housing (14, 82) having an inlet (58, 88) and an outlet (60, 90) and spaced apart first and second conductive foraminous grids (38/44, 96/98) connected within the housing (14, 82). A plurality of non-conductive microspheres (36, 91, 104) each having a uniformly thick outer conductive palladium layer thereon are positioned within the housing (14, 82) in electrical contact with the first grid (38, 96, 102) adjacent the inlet. An electric power source is operably connected across the first and second grids whereby electrical current flows between the grids within the water solution.
