Summary: 

In reference to electrolizing water, putting it into a ballon,
letting it rise, pop, and recombine into water, fall down the
tower and drive a turbine to produce more energy than to
electrolize the water I offer the following points.

1) The electrolizing of water will take more energy than in the
gravitational potential of said mass of water.

2) Work must be done in putting the O2 and H2 into the ballon,
thus more energy is required.

3) Friction in the system will kill you.

4) As building the tower higher, the earth has a one over radius
squared field which means the integral to get potential converges
reducing the pratical limit to build the tower.

Sincerely;
Greg Hennessy
