You have been misled. The experiment did not produce any net energy. It consumed but did not produce electricity.
The basic experiment was set up by electrochemists. They input electrical energy and measured, or thought they had measured, more heat output than electrical energy input. But their measurements were in error, basically bad calorimetry.
