Hydrogen for fuel cells or hydrogen autos has to come from somewhere.

The article we are linking to explains in a very simple way how hydrogen can be made by a process called Electrolysis.

Definition Electrolysis: Using electricity to split a molecule into its component atoms.

In this case the substance or molecule is water (H2O). A battery is connected via electrodes to a solution of water. The electricity in the battery provides an electric current between the terminals(electrodes) and does the “work” or provides the energy to split the H2O into Hydrogen Gas (H2) and Oxygen(02)

This process may not be the most energy efficient way of producing hydrogen for vehicles but it demonstrates one source of hydrogen and is useful for a basic understanding of the debates you will find about hydrogen’s viability as the fuel of the future.
