ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel electrolytic cell performs an electrolysis process at improved efficiencies by generating short wave electromagnetic radiation which irradiates the electrolyte to decompose the electrolyte by radiolysis. Thus the process is one of electrolysis combined with radiolysis. In one embodiment pulses of high voltage electrical energy are applied between the anode and cathode of the cell to generate both the radiation for radiolysis and a pulsed DC current in the electrolyte for electrolysis. In a second embodiment the pulses of high voltage electrical energy are discharged between radiation generator electrodes disposed beneath the electrolyte chamber. In both embodiments a generally cylindri- cal anode with a fluted outer surface is surrounded by a segmented cathode having an active area equal to the active area of the anode. An electrolyte, which may be a 25 percent solution of potassium hydroxide is introduced into the cell for production of hydrogen and oxygen at the cathode and anode respectively. This high voltage pulses are derived from a DC supply by pulse generating circuitry and a transformer located within an oil filled chamber inside the anode. The transformer generates a magnetic field in the electrolyte which provides preferred paths for the high speed electrons of the short wave electromagnetic radiation and also for the ions in the electro- lyte thereby increasing the possibility for collision between the electrons and ions with subsequent improved radiolysis yield.
