Some confusion of terms here I think. Water vapour and steam are two terms for the same thing - water gas, or water in gaseous state. As such, you can't see either. But often 'steam' is incorrectly used to describe the visible mist which is the gas condensing into liquid form.
An electrolyser will be like a kettle to a certain extent, in that as the water boils off it turns into an invisible gas, but once it starts to cool (which is very quickly in ambient air) it condenses to form a mist, or condensation on a cool surface, both of which we can see. That is, what you see coming out of a kettle is not the gas (water vapour or steam), but liquid water due to the gas cooling and so changing phase. However, this accounts for how water might reach ther combustion chamber, but not the electrolyte, which can only reach the combustion chamber as atomised (liquid) solution.
