Abstract:- Hydrogen gas can be produced through the Two-thirds part of the earth consists of water (H2O) is a
electrolysis process using Hoffman Voltameter method great potential for obtaining hydrogen in the water because
which breaks the water compound into its constituent there is the content of hydrogen gas. One way to get
elements of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using DC hydrogen gas from water is by splitting water into its
electric current source. DC electrical current source constituent elements, namely oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2).

observed the production of hydrogen (H2) with a direct water into hydrogen gas is in the process of electrolysis.
