Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating hydrogen gas by reacting water and an electrode at high temperature, wherein water is delivered under pressure by a pump in communication with a storage facility or tank in a manner forcing the water, at a controlled rate, into a gas tight vessel in which a heated electrode is positioned. An exothermic reaction takes place, whereby the liquid reactant, water, is reduced to hydrogen gas.A conduit in communication with the produced gas outlet of the vessel conducts the hydrogen gas to the predetermined connection for use, whether for combustion in an engine, or for industrial use.
