I have a very small PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell from a hydrogen
fuel cell science kit I got when I was much younger. I wonder if it is any
more efficient at converting water/electricity into H2/O2. You could
theoretically just capture the H2 it produces, then feed it back to the PEM
fuel cell with the other input being atmospheric (20%) oxygen, and let it do
its work to recharge a battery. I'm sure there would be a ton of conversion
losses in this process, but maybe you could get 20% or so of energy back
that would have been wasted. There are larger PEM materials available for
sale but they're pretty expensive. I haven't seen any "medium" sized ones
around for sale.
