This has been an active area of research in chemistry and chemical
engineering for a long time. People havn't found the method yet with
over
unity of efficiency. You get what you put in or less. If there are over
unity aspect of it like for example in the Stan Meyer's case, it may
usually
involve some circuits that seemingly collects energy from space.
If the sun light energy can be used to dissociate hydrogen and
oxygen
from water, it can be a better source of energy than using the photo
voltaic
cell. Still there is no widely used such method of energy collection.
Unless
the frequency of the incident light resonates with the covalent bonding
strength of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the light will simply pass
through the water without interaction.
On the other hand, the microwave oven uses the electromagnetic
micro-wave to resonate with the (polarized) molecular bonding of the
water
molecules to each other. This bonding strength is much weaker than the
atomic bonding of the hydrogen and oxygen atom in the water molecule and
applying this microwave energy will make the hot steam out of water by
boiling it instead of making dissociated hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
These two mechanisms are totally different from each other.
This is not to discourage people from pursuing such a goal but to
remind what is involved in the task.
