Imagine NEVER having to put any type of fuel into your car again.

The split process in my link is through the membrane, of the fuel cell. If you could catch and resplit as you mentioned, you could possibly power a car as a hybrid, with using the same molecules two times. Not only would you be getting something for free, but you'd do it twice

.
I have actually been thinking, that someone needed to figure out, how to split water for fuel cell purposes, to eliminate the one thing holding up fuel cell power from becoming mainstream. Hydrogen is dangerous, if accidentaly ignited like in a crash. There is also the hydrogen pump infrastructure, that needs to be built. With the water powered fuel cell, that kills two birds with one stone. Now to slim down to fit in one of these cars
