Not so. Yes, you get energy when you burn hydrogen, combining it with oxygen to form water. And yes, if you put energy into water in the correct manner, you can separate it into hydrogen and oxygen.
If all of this were exactly 100% efficient, then the amount of energy that you needed to put into a given amount of water to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen would be exactly equal to the amount of energy that you would get back out of it when you burned the hydrogen in the oxygen, turning it back into water.
There is no free energy here.
Exactly, Sir Newton doesn't allow it. You can put in energy to seperate the atoms, but I think you need to put in more than you get out. Not all the energy released by the seperation is useable. Some is heat, some an electric charge.

I think that's the term for separating oxygen from hydrogen on the face of a hairy Italian woman.
