So they tried to split H2O into oxygen and hydrogen. Splitting molecules takes as much energy as they release when recombined into water.

Note that electrolysis causes H2O -> O2 + 2 H2 and burning H2 causes the production of H2O So, by the laws of thermodynamics, you would not even be able to keep making H2.
