An electrolyzer for gaseous production such as hydrogen gas includes an oscillating electrode driven at a natural frequency of the gaseous bubbles improves output by readily removing the gaseous bubble product from the electrode surface, thereby exposing greater electrode surface area for subsequent electrolysis reactions. A natural frequency of the gaseous product determines an oscillation frequency with which to drive the electrode accumulating the gaseous product, such as hydrogen bubbles, to agitate and release the bubbles which then rise to the surface of the liquid filled containment. Integrating oscillation logic for agitating the otherwise stationary electrode or cathode in a PEM water electrolyzer improves hydrogen production by readily evacuating the generated hydrogen to free up the electrode area for additional electrolysis reactions.
