A Hydrogen bomb splits the atom, not a molecule.
H2 is produced in every battery by the splitting of an acid molecule. Oxygen is also produced in that same battery by the oxidizing of the battery plates. But once released they instantaneously fuse creating water which keeps the electrolyte a particular strength and level. To reap hydrogen, you would have to keep the released gases separate as soon as they were released. You would have to somehow filter the gases to pick the hydrogen molecule away from an Oxygen atom. Good luck!
Just as a side note the Japanese also built a solar car that had a a steering wheel that wasn't attached to the car. Sort of like a wireless mouse? The Germans have built a diesel car that gets over a 150 miles per gallon. Now THAT car, I can't remember its name, they expect to actually produce in Europe in the next few years. It was shown at the Belgium Auto Show this year. I read about it on line while researching a possible new car for myself. I accidently left the back windows down on my convertible and then it rained for 18 hours. So rather than grow mushrooms on the rug, I thought I might trade it in. With that German car I would be able to make a weeks worth of trips back and forth to work on one gallon of diesel. With my truck, which I am forced to drive while the detailer shop dries my car out, I get only one trip back and forth for a gallon and a half.
