	~~Storing~~ water ~~got you down? At~~ the ~~expense~~ of ~~power~~, ~~you can turn~~ that ~~excess water into a bunch~~ of ~~heat and a somewhat risky mix of Oxygen and Volatiles using~~ the ~~new Electrolysis Machine~~. ~~Available on~~ the ~~existing Atmospherics kit~~ with ~~Air Conditioners and Filtration machines~~.		The ''Norsec-designed'' Electrolyzer splits [[Water]] into [[Hydrogen]] and [[Oxygen]]. Employing unknown proprietary technology, the devices uses water's latent heat as energy to drive the electrolysis<!-- corrected from in-game, which uses "electrosis" here, as of v0.2.6227.27061 on 15 June 2026 --> process. If there is a downside to this near-miraculous fission, it's that the devices is limited by the quantity of power available, which is used to maintain the temperature output. In other words, the machine works best with hot gas.

Using insulated pipes is highly recommended, especially on hot worlds.
