Another way to harvest hydrogen is using an electric arc to fraction the molecules. This is usually done with a generator so the process is not free by any means.

Unless of course you maybe used wind or ocean currents or waves as the energy source for your generator. Hmm ...

I've been thinking about this one quite a few years... geothermal or hydroelectric (or as you suggest wind or ocean currents) to generate the electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen.... But then you have to transport and handle these highly volatile gases (imagine millions of Hindenburgs on the highway ), while it would be much safer to deal with the water directly (i.e. split it as you use it)...

I guess it comes down to whether you can generate enough energy to split hydrogen and oxygen using a self driven alternator as Denny suggested... I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the laws of nature (e.g. thermodynamics) will not allow this... at best you could almost generate enough combustion energy to drive the alternator to make almost enough fuel to keep generating the fuel.

Anyhow, there was a section I overlooked in the wiki that deals with using HHO to make gasoline/diesel engines run more efficiently by allowing a leaner afr... this appears to be practical and could be what we'll see for the next hybrids(?)

Neat stuff, hopefully we can arrive at a decent solution in the near future... especially to support abundant HP! What about the "Mr. Fusion" from Back to the Future
