      Hi bart1, thanks for the question!

      It’s actually quite a simple process. All you need to do is pass an electric current through water, and you’ll split it into hydrogen and oxygen. All you need to do then is collect and store the hydrogen, and you’re good to go!

      This is one of the experiments I’d like to show students if I’m lucky enough to win the prize money.
