    How do I use hydrogen as fuel
    How is hydrogen gas used as fuel
    I want to know the generation technique
    For generation of power using hydrogen
    In full details also would like to see papers published on the same

    You can simply burn it as any other gas. The waste product is pure water. Note that you have to modify the engine to burning hydrogen (just as you have to modify a petrol motor when changing from octane 95 to octane 98, or a diesel motor from normal diesel to bio-diesel).
    The problem here is not how to burn hydrogen to produce power, but to lower the cost of producing free hydrogen from other molecules.
    For instance water can be split by electricity into hydrogen and oxygen. But that takes a lot of expensive electricity. And with every conversion you lose minimal 10% of the input power to other effects (like heat).

    I will comment on this one because right now it is a pet project of mine.
    Very little modification is necessary to supplement the use of gasoline with hydrogen in an internal combustion engine. The electricity used will come from the electrical system of the vehicles alternator and battery. AThere are plans available on the internet for a very reasonable price to buid your own "HHO or Brown's Gas Generator". They are extreme;y safe and people are reporting 75% increases in gas mileage just by injecting a relatively small amount of HHO gas into the intake to aid combustion. They only use water. That is it and the resulting product after combustion is - WATER.

    Yes, saw some of this on "myth busters" a few weeks ago, they built system from internet plans, it was a complete failure

    I have a friend who install a hydrogen system in his Toyota. His mileage went from 28 to 40 mpg. I am installing system and need to know some information regarding the location of the map sensor. I believe the Oxygen sensor will be easy enough to find..
