    Electricity does the job nicely. And I think it's as simple as running a current throught water. Hydrogen collects around one end (cathode, anode, I don't know, but it'll be one or the other) and bubles out.

    Oxygen does the same at the other end.

    It sounds great (for hydrogen fuel cell cars, for instance) but I think it takes a lot of electricity to produce just a small bit of hydrogen.

    It's a pity. There's always a catch.
