Electrolysis is not typically associated with the enormous currents/magnetic fields Mills now says are required.
Unless your definition of "electrolysis" includes arcing with high currents and magnetic fields through plasma, don't bother with it in the gross bulk calorimeter comparison with integrated transformer power input I suggested.
