In H.S. we went a step further and used a 500KV transformer we found in the physics junk pile and took pure o2 and made gobs of o3... Now that was a little hazardous... we used it to test reaction rates with air conditioner gas to see if the ozone hole problem was real...

I made hydrogen with electrolysis specifically so I could have flammable
gas to play with.  Yes very slow.  I used the transformer from my model
trains as the power source, and I was ok with just setting it up and
walking away while it slowly filled a balloon with gas.  The biggest
annoyance for me was not the speed of the process, but the fact that my
electrodes kept corroding away. They were made of balls of tin
foil....If I was cleverer back then I would have yanked a big bolt out
of the garage and used that instead.

I sure hope I can get my kids to play with stuff like this.  Even if the
only incentive is to make stuff go boom, I think a few singed eyebrows
are worth the learning.

no, chuck, drain cleaner and foil is something you put in pop bottles
and throw

    Quick way to make hydrogen is to put some foil in a water solution

    In Jr high I needed hydrogen for a plant experiment I was doing,
    the electrolysis method was too slow so I used zinc oxide from non
    alkaline AA batteries. Is zinc still a thing in battery
    production? That could be a good secondary market for battery
    recyclers. I used hydrocloric acid because i had it, but sulfuric
    would have been more efficient, so the sla recycling could be
    combined with the other battery recycling to generate hydrogen. my
    method created a shit ton of toxic byproduct I had to disappear,
    but i assume that could be addressed at scale

                            your mileage driven on electric and then
                            enter that on your tax return to calculate
