Something in the Water
Hydrogen can be extracted from water through a process called electrolysis. Passing an electrical current through water creates a chemical reaction where the result is the separation of water's two main elements - hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen is lighter than air and free of impurities.
Don't worry, there's nothing complicated about driving hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.
You fuel up with hydrogen in the same way you would a gas-powered vehicle. The hydrogen is stored in carbon fiber, high-impact resistant tanks. When the vehicle is fueled with hydrogen, and combined with oxygen from outside the vehicle, the chemical reaction that occurs generates electricity. What's more, energy is captured every time you hit the brakes, conserving power and creating even better efficiency.
