Abstract
A method of isolating hydrogen from water in a reactor includes charging a centrifuge with water via an inlet including an inlet valve. The centrifugal centrifuge is situated in a protective chamber. The method also includes heating the centrifuge such that at least some of the water splits into hydrogen and oxygen, rotating the centrifuge within the protective chamber such that the hydrogen and oxygen separate within the centrifuge according to their molecular mass, and drawing off at least some of the hydrogen from the centrifuge via an outlet including an outlet valve.
