TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS - Preferred Vessel: In the hydrogen generating vessel, the ocean water within the hydrogen generating vessel is displaced downward as the hydrogen gas collects inside the hydrogen generating vessel. The ocean water pressure inside the hydrogen generating vessel is equal to the ocean water pressure outside the hydrogen generating vessel. The conductive cable conducts the voltage and current from the generator to the reduction plate. The generator is powered by current catchers, and the generator converts kinetic energy from ocean currents to electrical energy. Each current catcher has a surface area of at least nine square meters, where the current catchers are attached to a rotating disk, and the current catchers are closed when moving against the direction of the ocean current, and open when moving in the direction of the ocean current. The rotating disk is linked to a shaft that turns the generator, where the rotating disk rotates around a vertical axis. The generator, the current catchers, and the rotating disk are fixed to a wide area porous frame. The hydrogen generation rate at the reduction plate is greater than 1 liter per minute per square foot of reduction plate surface. The hydrogen generation rate further exceeds 10 liters per minute per square foot of reduction plate surface. The reduction plate has an area of at least 4 square feet. The hydrogen generating vessel further comprises a section of pipe above the release valve, and the section of pipe contains screens, packing material, restrictions, rough surfaces, or turns that separate droplets of ocean water from hydrogen gas. The release valve is any one of an electronic solenoid valve, a float valve, and a pressure activated valve. Moreover, an oxidation plate is disposed beside, rather than under or within, the enclosed volume of the hydrogen generating vessel. Multiple reduction plates are separated by physical barriers within the bottom volumetric half, and the combined the hydrogen gas output is collected and stored in the upper volumetric half. The means for positioning include any one selected from anchors connected to the hydrogen generating vessel, an inherent weight of the hydrogen generating vessel, attachment points on the hydrogen generating vessel that are connected to a stable ocean floor, and attachment points on the hydrogen generating vessel that are connected to a pylon that is built into an ocean floor, cables between the hydrogen generating vessel and an ocean floor, and chains between the hydrogen generating vessel and an ocean floor. The reduction plate comprises any one selected from a group consisting of metallic copper, metallic tin, metallic silver, alloys of copper, alloys of tin, alloys of silver, polymers containing copper, polymers containing tin, and polymers containing silver. Preferred Method: Generating, collecting, temporarily storing, and transporting hydrogen gas further comprises: filling the hydrogen generating vessel with ocean water at the beginning of each hydrogen generation cycle by opening the release valve. An oxidation plate is disposed beside, rather than under or inside, the enclosed volume of the hydrogen generating vessel. The hydrogen production is at least 1-10 standard liter per minute per square foot of reduction plate surface. The generator is powered by current catchers that convert kinetic energy from ocean currents to electrical energy. The current catchers are attached to a rotating disk, and the current catchers are closed when moving against the direction of the ocean current, and open when moving in the direction of the ocean current. The rotating disk is linked to a shaft that turns the generator. The generators are employed, and the generators spin in opposite angular directions. The method as well comprises connecting the hydrogen generating vessel to an ocean floor to prevent the hydrogen generating vessel from rising toward an ocean surface. The ocean water level inside the hydrogen generating vessel decreases during hydrogen production and where the ocean water level rises during hydrogen transport, which creates a pumping action that assists in keeping the reduction plate clean. The installing is further performed such that 90% of the upper volumetric half is disposed at least 50-500 meters beneath the ocean surface.
