Regenerating Fuel Cell
+0

I'm working on a powered exoskeleton design for my universe and I had an idea about how to power it.
It works in this cycle:
- Water enters an electrolyzer powered by a massive betavoltaic battery and is split into hydrogen and oxygen.
- The hydrogen and oxygen are run through the fuel cell to create power, releasing water to be put back into the electrolyzer.
So as long as the betavoltaic battery makes up for the energy loss it could create a regenerative cycle that could power the exoskeleton for many decades or at least until the fuel cell wears out or the betavoltaic battery runs out.
Would this be feasible?
