1. An energy generation apparatus comprising:

  • an electrolytic cell having at least one anode, at least one cathode and an electrolyte comprising hydrogen adapted to be interposed between said at least one anode and said at least one cathode, said at least one cathode including a surface for communication with said electrolyte;

    means for applying pulsed electrical voltage between said at least one anode and said at least one cathode;

    means for collecting hydrogen gas emitted from said electrolytic cell and extracting energy through oxidation of said hydrogen gas;

    a housing comprising at least one thermal conducting side exposed to a source of thermal energy externally disposed to said housing, said electrolytic cell disposed in said housing and said at least one anode being in thermal communication with said at least one thermal conducting side, said at least one anode comprising means for catalytically dissociating the electrolyte into a plurality of ionic products;

    means for reducing voltage barrier potential of said electrolyte communicating surface; and

    means for reducing electrical resistance between said at least one anode and said at least one cathode.
