If you produce hydrogen and oxygen in the same bottle, the bottle will be explosive, so be careful. All you have to do is run about 12 volts through a wire or two that are exposed in some water. The H2O molecules will break apart and rise to the surface. The bottle has to begin as completely full of water. Make sure none of your wires are touching. They should all begin on the same -lead and end on the same +lead. If you can seal the bottle around the wires with a rubber cork or something then you'll be able to keep your hydrogen and oxygen mix. REMEMBER: The mixture is already extremely flamable and possibly explosive in this bottle. NEVER use more than 12 volts in the bottle. NEVER allow the wires to touch in the bottle, especially if you have the polarity different in two or more wires. The more wire you have submersed, the more Hydrogen and Oxygen you will produce at a time. The wires can't just be bunched up though. They have to be all separate and straight.

You cannot produce hydrogen and oxygen separately in the same bottle. You can produce water though.

stick a pair of electrodes in the water in a bottle and you got it ( it will also make a BIG BANG if you allow the electrodes to spark in the gases you just made SO VERY VERY DUMB IDEA )
