Hydrogen is not made from air.

Hydrogen is an element, which means it can't be separated into any other substances without losing its properties, while air is a mixture of many different gases. Normal air doesn't naturally contain very much Hydrogen, and is composed mostly of diatomic Nitrogen (molecules containing two atoms of Nitrogen).

Air contains some Water, which is H2O, and H = Hydrogen. There isn't much Hydrogen in the air, but you can break down water into Hydrogen, if you give it energy.
