One or more of the hydrogen, oxygen and electrical output of the methods, devices and apparatus of the invention can be stored, or can be used in many ways, for example, in a fuel cell to produce additional electricity or other reaction products.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2008Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventor: Thomas Charles Savage
