Try Researching Hydrogen Fuel Cell Kits. The Kits Normaly Come With A Way Of Breaking Down Water Into Hydrogen And Oxegen. I Remember That Electricity Breaks It Down, But Other Chemicals Are Used To Speed Up The Process To Minutes Insead Of Days. That Estimate Of Days To Minutes is at 9V DC (9V Battery) With A Cup Of Water.

Through the process of electrolysis water can be broken down into pure hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis involves electricity being ran through water, this splits down the water into it's component elements. Water's chemical formula is H2O. This means there are 2 hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom.

The process of breaking down molecules in water is very simple. First take H2O and break it down into it's formula Hydrogen + 2 Oxygen. And as you see it balances out. So really it's molecules are Hydrogen and Oxygen.
