Pipes and electrolyzer

True; but it's still a pain in the ass to wire.  I have enough trouble keeping multiple circuits spreading power around without 4 or 5 more electrolyzers in the mix.

My electrolyzers are always in self-contained self-powered units that needs no power connection. They have a water input and a oxygen output. That's it. Sometimes I set a bridge in to tap off excess hydrogen to other things but I often just let the hydrogen generator built into the unit burn off the excess hydrogen.

I thought we were talking about NOT building a spom and just placing the electrolyzer in the open and letting the gas freely wonder around the base.

Perhaps you were. I merely pointed out that electrolysers in fact only use power and water when actively outputting gas. Some people are not clear on that point and think electrolysers have a constant power consumption..

I was arguing against leaving them in the open and placing several of them around instead of just piping the oxygen to spread it out.  One spom is a lot easier to wire then 5 open electrolyzers.
