It is a bad idea to produce hydrogen on demand with electrolysis.
That adds to the complexity and cost of the machine; it causes
explosions, and the hydrogen is impure. Since you only need minute
quantities of hydrogen it is much better to purchase it in pressure
vessels.
Here is a good storage unit:

It is sized like a cigar.
http://www.hydrogencomponents.com/BL18.htm
It stores 18 standard liters of hydrogen.
Retail price is 345$
Pressure is 37 bar.
Devices like this (but larger) are used as supplies for gas chromatography.
So the purity and the security is very high.
This is very good researched and there are solutions that are
affordable, secure and that work.
