Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water & Power

[Onidotmoe]

Someway to convert Hydrogen & Oxygen into water and power like you can in real life.

That could be done by making a variant of the natural gas engine that unlocks with the same research as it. It could have two inputs for the gases and drop hot water directly onto the ground. Acting as a much slower and weaker but easy to fuel engine. It could also be really small.

Electrolyzers make Hydrogen & Oxygen from water while consuming very little power.  In ONI, a Hydrogen Generator consumes the Hydrogen and gives us power which is already a power positive process.  This is why Self-Powered Oxygen Modules (SPOMs) exist in ONI.

In the real world when you burn hydrogen you get water.

If in ONI Hydrogen Generators could take Hydrogen & Oxygen and output water then we end up with an loop of infinite power with Electrolyzers being initially primed with water but then you could close the loop (similar to toilet/sieve loops) and then you could get infinite free power and you could easily scale it up to make massive amounts of free power.  It would negate the need for any other power source.

The current way is a nice oversimplification that works for video game like this.
