There is provided a method and apparatus for generating thermal energy in an electrolytic cell (100; 200), The cell has a cathode electrode (12; 212) and an anode electrode (13; 213) immersed in an electrically conductive electrolyte (11; 211), The apparatus comprises a modulated current power supply (14, 15; 214, 215) connected to the cathode and anode electrodes, a computer (16; 216) connected to the power supply and an ultrasonic transmitter (250"; 514, 516) coupled to the cell. The computer is programmed to generate within the power supply and supply to the electrodes a superwaves pattern of current wherein the superwaves pattern includes a major current wave (W 1 ) having a predetermined period and a plurality of minor current waves (W 2 , W 3 , W 4 ) superimposed on the major current wave forming a train of electrical current packets supplied to the electrodes. The ultrasonic transmitter provides ultrasonic excitation to the cathode electrode (12; 212) during application of the train of electrical current packets to the electrode pair.
