Much discussion has occurred here regarding electrolysis anode glow
and free energy, possibly from cold fusion. See:

A method of energy creation I have suggested is the creation of an
insulating barrier on the anode, one which permits electron tunneling
but bars nucleus tunneling, is essential to create the anode glow
condition using comparatively high electrolysis voltages. Unnoticed
in this this discussion is the possible importance of electron
fugacity at the insulating barrier surface. On the other side of the
barrier is the anode with its positive charge. The electrolyte on
the opposed side of the barrier, and possibly the surface of the
barrier itself, carries an excess negative charge. The stronger the
barrier the greater the excess electrons on the electrolyte side of
the barrier, the greater the electron fugacity. The hydrogen
fugacity is unfortunately low. Any free proton introduced to the
vicinity is repelled off, probably generating an ionization cascade.
However, the field distribution in an electrolyte, it being a
conductor, should be negligible provided electrons can penetrate the
vicinity. This then gives rise to the speculation that the anode
interphase is electron populated, that the electron fugacity is high
there. Electrons can easily tunnel a couple atomic radii with the
potentials involved. The high electron fugacity combined with
stretched H-O bonds on H2O molecules, may produce electron catalyzed
fusion via dual nucleon + free electron waveform collapse.
This thought is a bit way out there, but who knows, it may lead to
something better.
