Hello all if anyone is good with logical thinking and great with math and science I need your help. I have an idea that deals with electrolysis, steam, turbines, and other crap that I need to get out of my head for some reason my brain thinks it possible. Please dm me so we make my brain STFU! Also, nothing illegal.

Working on it.
If my last thought was correct what happens if I burn the hho in a sealed tube and turn it into superheated steam and run a generator, not indirect heating as they boil water now but the flame directly in a steel tube. Would the flame stay lit or would the steam pressure blow the hho back to the generator.
It would be hot as hell. Like a torch if you could light it. Also you cannot create energy. You would use more in the electrolysis process etc. then you would create in the end. Laws of thermodynamics. I'm just a noob at chemistry though.
Ya ya laws pft, ok here's more fun. What if I floated the hho through a water filled pipe to the top of a mountain where I run it through a turbine and then condensed it to water and have all that potential energy just waiting? My brain thinks I could "beat" the law with free work done by floating a bubble to the top of a mountain. And here is where I need proven wrong.
I think the problem with that is you need to move the water into place beforehand. That will require energy. When you float any bubbles upwards then you will lose some of that potential energy because there was a bubble at the bottom and now there is water so that piece of potential energy is lost.
You will also need to force the bubble into the water somehow. More energy required.
Yes the water would be placed beforehand. Which you will use energy.
I'm confused how energy is lost can you eli5 that part? When creating hho I could set a passive pressure release valve into the pipe where it takes no more energy to force the hho bubbles into the elevation pipe. In the elevation pipe yes water will move around but I have no work involved other then setup to get the bubble to the top. I guess the inlet would have to be greater then all the water pressure in the elevation pipe, should be possible but very dangerous to have hho at a high pressure.
