In this paper we proposed the use of saline water to product hydrogen. As far as using saline water, can be proposed two different scheme and technology. The aim of this work is to design an electrolyze system capable of utilizing sea water for direct electrolysis. It is probable that these systems would operate at a low power density and electrolyze only a small portion of the water in contact with electrodes. In particular, we present the results obtained by two different prototype of electrolyzer: one with steel electrodes and the second electrodes with titanium. Further experiments were carried out by changing the electrolytic solution of water and sodium chloride in real seawater. Finally, the electrical load has been changed as imposing electric current with a distorted waveform.
