And it's worse than that, because an alternator also converts mechanical
energy to heat. Thus, the electrical energy you get out is only a rather
small fraction of the mechanical energy you put in.
Electrolysis is also rather inefficient; there is less potential energy in
the hydrogen/oxygen produced than you put into the process. Takes a fair
amount of heat just to vaporize the water, plus the remaining water gets
hot.
Fundamental laws of thermodynamics :
1) You can't win.
2) You can't even break even (no process is 100% efficient)
3) There's no way out of the game.
