1. A hydrogen producing system comprising:
- a. a hydrogen producing catalyst containing Al(OH)x, copper, and silver in a first reactor, wherein x is 1, 2, 3, or 4;
b. a voltage generating source configured to apply a hydrogen generating voltage between 0.4V and 0.9V to the hydrogen producing catalyst in the first reactor to generate hydrogen gas; and
c. a catalyst regenerating device in a second reactor having a light source configured to generate light for photolysis, a heat source configured to generate heat for thermolysis, or both to regenerate the hydrogen producing catalyst to a chemical state generating the hydrogen gas when the hydrogen generating voltage is applied.

Abstract
A method of and apparatus for optimizing a hydrogen producing system is provided. The method of optimizing the hydrogen producing system comprises producing hydrogen gas using a hydrogen producing formulation and removing a chemical substance that reduces the hydrogen gas producing efficiency. Further, the hydrogen producing system comprises a hydrogen producing catalyst, a hydrogen generating voltage applied to the hydrogen producing catalyst to generate hydrogen gas, and a catalyst regenerating device to regenerate the hydrogen producing catalyst to a chemical state capable of generating the hydrogen gas when a hydrogen generating voltage is applied.
