Anyway, my thought behind it is when you heat up water it expands as the molecules become excited, this may help the water break into its elements?
If you pressurise water it's boiling point becomes higher than what it is at atmospheric pressure, so if I were to design a sealed pressurised cell, steam shouldn't be an issue. you could vent the hho via an auto air release. The constant venting of hho should prevent the water expanding to a dangerous level and a hand water pump could be use to top the pressure up.
All fairly simple stuff you can pick up from hobby shops that deal with miniature steam engines.
Just another thought is water more or less conductive hot, cold, at atmospheric pressure or pressurized? I don't mind experimenting to find out but if people already have done this, I might as well ask.
