     Characteristics of Technologies
   Hydrogen is produced by the direct dissociation of water vapor, i.e., splitting water
  molecules by the electrons in a water plasma using a microwave plasma discharge. It is
  not a chemical method, but a physical one. A microwave plasma source was developed
  utilizing the magnetron of a microwave oven.
