Recent developments have found a way to produce hydrogen directly

but modified to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water) No this is
not BS, but was written up in a scientific journal. {The problem
with hydorgen to day is that most of what we have is cracked from
petrolum) Add to that the fact that conversion kits already are
available to convert the standard intenal combustion engine to run
on pure hydrogen.

I saw the Myth Busters guys try something like this recently. They
bought one of the kits to convert water to hydrogen with low
voltage.
After much trial and error they did get the thing to produce
hydrogen.
They figured it would take about 50 of those units in the back seat
to
get enough hydrogen to run a car.
Since that didn't really work they decided to try to run the car (a
carbureted Olds) on hydrogen directly from a tank. The Olds
actually
ran until it backfired and flames came shooting out of the hose
going
to the tank. It was pretty entertaining.

Not sure what they expected to accomplish with running directly from a
tank. A hydrogen conversion involves the same sort of effort as a
natural gas or LP gas conversion, either of which is doable on most
cars and trucks (call your gas company and they should be able to tell
you where you can get it done). For an idea of what's involved in
such a conversion take a look at
