Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are described herein for monitoring gas pressure within an electrolysis system and maintaining gas pressure using an electric generator to capture kinetic energy of compressed hydrogen and/or oxygen gases as they are produced by an electrolyzer. The generator utilizes a rotating apparatus, such as a fan or turbine, to capture the energy of the gases and generate electricity. Any electricity produced by the generator is fed back to the electrolyzer to supplement its energy requirements. En el presente documento se describen sistemas y métodos para monitorear la presión de gas dentro de un sistema de electrólisis y mantener la presión de gas utilizando un generador eléctrico para capturar la energía cinética de los gases comprimidos de hidrógeno y/u oxígeno a medida que son producidos por un electrolizador. El generador utiliza un aparato rotativo, tal como un ventilador o una turbina, para capturar la energía de los gases y generar electricidad. Cualquier electricidad producida por el generador se devuelve al electrolizador para complementar sus requisitos energéticos.
