Hi,

That would be fine. Some people have suggested that the units
should be sold
with individual electrolyzers, so that they could be loaded with
water
instead of hydrogen. That would be a bad idea.

I was one of those people, and I still think it's the ultimate
goal, though
clearly more development work is required to make this a safe and
efficient
procedure.

An on-board electrolyser can even deliver hydrogen at high pressure,
by using a Pd cathode and driving the hydrogen out the back side of
the cathode. Commercial electrolysers that use this technique save
money and energy on compression costs. Also, hydrogen which goes
through a Pd "filter" comes out very pure and dry.
