ColtonGang, Didn't mean to sound insulting. Just that it would be extremely difficult to get hydrogen out of the air. First you would have to compress it till the nitrogen liquified, then you would have to freeze it till the oxygen liquified. I think the helium is next, though it may be the hydrogen. I know that air product manufacturers get their oxygen helium and nitrogen that way. I doubt they get their hydrogen that way.
