1. A method comprising: combining an agent having an oxidation reduction potential that is one of either:a) −150 or more negative; orb) +150 or more positive with a buffer and water that is free of minerals, thereby forming a mixture;forming conditioned electrodes in a first container by exposing a plurality of electrodes to the mixture and subjecting the electrodes to an electrical potential; andgenerating hydrogen and oxygen by:(i) removing the condition electrodes from the first container;(ii) placing the conditioned electrodes in a second container; and(iii) electrically coupling the conditioned electrodes to a source of electricity. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the operation of forming conditioned electrodes further comprises periodically cleaning a surface of the electrodes. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the operation of forming conditioned electrodes further comprises subjecting the electrodes to an electrical potential for a period of time sufficient to form a layer of material on a surface of the electrodes, wherein the layer comprises substantially non-ferrous elements. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the electrodes comprise stainless steel. 5. The method of claim 1 and further comprising adding the mixture to the second container. 6. The method of claim 1 and further comprising delivering at least one of the generated hydrogen and the generated oxygen to a combustion device. 7. The method of claim 1 and further comprising adding at least one of the generated hydrogen and generated oxygen to a fuel. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated hydrogen comprises relatively more para hydrogen than is present at standard temperature and pressure conditions. 9. An apparatus comprising a hydrolyzer, wherein the hydrolyzer comprises: a plurality of electrodes, wherein a surface of each electrode of the plurality thereof comprises oxygen, sodium, and carbon in an amount that is collectively at least 75 weight percent of the constituents of the surface; andan electrically-conductive fluid, wherein the plurality of electrodes are exposed to the electrically-conductive fluid. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein each electrode in the plurality thereof is formed by: (a) combining an agent having an oxidation reduction potential in a range of about −150 to about −250 with a buffer and water that is free of minerals, thereby forming a mixture; and(b) exposing a plurality of electrodes to the mixture and subjecting the electrodes to an electrical potential. 11. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the electrically-conductive fluid comprises a conductivity-promoting material and water. 12. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a coupling suitable for delivering, to a fuel, at least one of hydrogen and oxygen that is generated via the hydrolyzer. 13. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a coupling suitable for delivering, to an air intake of a combustion device, at least one of hydrogen and oxygen that is generated via the hydrolyzer. 14. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the apparatus further comprises: a source of electricity, wherein hydrolyzer is electrically coupled to the source of electricity; anda combustion device, wherein the combustion device is fluidically coupled to the hydrolyzer to receive hydrogen therefrom. 15. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the combustion device burns a fuel selected from the group consisting of gasoline, diesel, alcohol, petroleum biofuel, biological derivatives, and petroleum derivatives. 16. A combustion system comprising: a source of electricity;a hydrolyzer, wherein the hydrolyzer is electrically coupled to the source of electricity, and further wherein the hydrolyzer includes:(a) an electrically conductive fluid;(b) a plurality of conditioned electrodes that are exposed to the electrically conductive fluid, wherein the conditioned electrodes have a surface composition in which iron, chromium, and nickel collectively account for less than about 20 weight percent thereof and oxygen, sodium and carbon collectively account for at least 75 weight percent thereof;a combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chamber includes an inlet for air; a conduit, wherein the conduit conducts hydrogen and oxygen generated via the hydrolyzer to a location wherein it is mixed with the air intended for the inlet of the combustion chamber. 17. The combustion system of claim 16 wherein the conditioned electrodes are formed by: (a) combining an agent having an oxidation reduction potential that is either: (i) −150 or more negative; or(ii) +150 or more positive with a buffer and water that is free of minerals, thereby forming a mixture; and(b) exposing a plurality of electrodes to the mixture and subjecting the electrodes to an electrical potential. 18. The combustion system of claim 16 wherein the conditioned electrodes are formed by: exposing electrodes to a mixture comprising: (i) water;(ii) a buffer; and(iii) a catalyst that is formed by burning resinous vegetable material to ash and mixing the ash with water and exposing same to elevated temperature and pressure; andsubjecting the electrodes to an electrical potential. 19. The combustion system of claim 16 further comprising an internal combustion engine, wherein the combustion chamber is a part of the internal combustion engine.
