Hi FaultLine; Re: "New Japanese technology allows for the creation of hydrogen using helium gas.

This is fission and a no-so-common gas to boot. The whole planet is covered with hydrogen in one form or another. Bunk, I don't believe it. Reference(s) please.
"

Maybe it's not bunk, but is just standard refrigeration technology. Helium can be used in the manufacture of liquid hydrogen:

STUDY OF LARGE HYDROGEN LIQUEFACTION PROCESS
(2)HELIUM BRAYTON CYCLE
This cycle is adopted for relatively small hydrogen liquefaction plants. A typical flow of this process is shown in Fig.3. Helium gas is used in the recycling line. The pressure conditions of feed gas and the installation of the super critical turbine and O-P conversion of the feed hydrogen are almost the same as Hydrogen Claude Cycle.
