FWIW. If I understand correctly, a stationary fuel cell manufactured by
Toshiba for residential use expels 52.8 US gal (200 L) of water in the
process of generating 700 W of electricity.

.


Then you misunderstood. A watt is a rate of power generation. The water produced by 700 watts would have to be written in gallons per hour, gallons per day, or something along those lines.

BTW 700W is about 1 hp. Not much at all!


Now, for reference, I found this:
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03494.htm

Not sure if it's correct or not, but the math shows that burning 1 gallon of gasoline produces about 1 gallon of water. Before you call me stupid, read the link, and realize that the majority of that water actually comes from the oxygen feeding the engine, not the gas itself. (For each lb of fuel entering the engine, about 12 lbs of air enters also).
