As stated, the oxygen and hydrogen from water are seperated. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, and the hydrogen is converted for storage. The converter can run on solar power, wind power (for those near Lake Michigan), or plugged into a 110v outlet.

I believe that electrolosis is more expensive than "reforming" methane or alcohol to yield H2 and CO2. The "home hydrogen" units that I have seen convert natural gas. TANSTAAFL.

Interesting link, thank you.

I wonder if some of the cost could be recouped by selling the Oxygen rather then release it into the atmosphere. There is already a thriving market for oxygen. It’s used at hospitals and you see older people carting around oxygen canisters all the time. Maybe it could be picked up at curbside like your recyclable garbage. Just a thought.
