However, one day while watching the TV, I did see where one car manufacturer was planning production of a Hydrogen burning automobile and envisioned Hydrogen stations around the country instead of gasoline stations.

The cost of manufacturing the prototype car they had was only (!) $500,000. They were trying to find a way to bring the cost down. The car contained at least three 'hydrogen cells' that each cost $100,000 each to manufacture and were essential to the design of the car. The thought of Hydrogen stations angered me. Why? Because water is made of H2O - two parts Hydrogen to one part Oxygen. I thought there had to be a way to liberate and burn the Hydrogen. The way to liberate the Hydrogen was a simple classroom experiment in electrolysis. Take a nine volt battery, attach a wire to each terminal, put a small amount of salt in a cup of water (to assist the electrical current flow), and put the ends of the wires in the cup. You will notice that on the wire attached to the positive terminal, many bubbles appear. On the wire attached to the negative terminal, some bubbles appear, but fewer than the positive side.

You have just split the water, Hydrogen and Oxygen, apart and liberated them into a gas.
