The operation of water electrochemical cells in centrifugal fields is demonstrated. Data for water electrolysis in acid, neutral and highly alkaline electrolyte is obtained using linear sweep voltammetry. A cell voltage reduction of up to 700 mV, an anode potential reduction of up to 500 mV, and a cathode potential reduction of up to 350 mV at 3 kA m-2 are achieved at 190 G and 80 °C, compared to those in stationary conditions. The saving in energy are significantly larger than the small amount required to rotate the cells. The relationship between the cell performance, applied `G' value, electrode material, and electrolyte concentration is reported.
