The math is simple: To electrolyze one mol of electrons, you need one
Faraday of charge (96400 Coulomb).
One mol of water equals 18g, and each molecule needs two electrons ( one
for each H), so for electrolyzing 18g of water you need two Faradays of
charge (192800 Coulombs).

192800C / 1800s =3D 107A (that is, to electrolyze 18g of water it is
necessary to apply 107 Amperes during 1/2 hour)

Do the rest of the math and you will see that there is no way of getting
all that energy back burning just 18g of O2+H2..
