Interesting. It’s a hydrogen generator.
As an alternative idea, is it possible to use a laser to break the bond between hydrogen and oxygen, in a water molecule, to release the hydrogen?
Kind of how a laser was used to cool atoms, by knocking off energetic electrons from the molecule. But this time, in reverse.
Asking for a laser physicist.
