NOVELTY - Producing hydrogen comprises: (a) creating an active metal alloy layer at a base of a container with the active metal alloy; (b) continuously applying steam to the active metal alloy causing a first reaction producing hydrogen and a metal hydroxide; (c) continuously applying a voltage across the first electrode and the second electrode causing a second reaction producing hydrogen and the active metal alloy; and (d) continuously collecting the hydrogen from the first reaction and the second reaction.    USE - The method and device are useful for producing hydrogen (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method is a more efficient method of producing hydrogen. It is a continuous, self-renewing method requiring only a supply of steam and electricity once started. It produces hydrogen at temperatures above the boiling point of water, without having to maintain the reaction at higher pressures. The method has also a 30% increase in efficiency over high temperature electrolysis (HTE).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing hydrogen comprises: (a) selecting an active metal alloy comprising a metal selected from lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), francium (Fr), and/or calcium (Ca); (b) creating an active metal alloy layer at a base of a container with the active metal alloy; (c) continuously applying steam to the active metal alloy causing a first reaction producing hydrogen and a metal hydroxide, where the metal hydroxide forms into a metal hydroxide layer above the active metal alloy layer, where the metal hydroxide layer forms above the active metal alloy layer due to the lower density of the metal hydroxide layer; (d) positioning a first electrode so that the first electrode is electrically connected to the metal hydroxide layer; (e) positioning a second electrode so that the second electrode is electrically connected to the active metal alloy layer; (f) continuously applying a voltage across the first electrode and the second electrode causing a second reaction producing hydrogen and the active metal alloy; and (g) continuously collecting the hydrogen from the first reaction and the second reaction. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a device for the production of hydrogen comprising: (a) a container having a base; (b) an active metal alloy layer positioned in the container above the base and comprising an active metal alloy and contained by the container, where the active metal alloy comprises a metal selected from lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), francium (Fr), and/or calcium (Ca); (c) a metal hydroxide layer contained by the container and positioned adjacent to and above the active metal alloy layer; (d) a steam source having a means for exposing the active metal alloy layer to steam; (e) a voltage source; (f) a first electrode electrically connected to the voltage source and the metal hydroxide layer; (g) a second electrode electrically connected to the voltage source and the active metal alloy layer; (h) the second electrode electrically insulated from the metal hydroxide layer; (i) a means for collecting oxygen ascending from the first electrode; and (j) a means for collecting hydrogen ascending from the container.
