| 1. A method for producing hydrogen by using magnesium scrap, comprising:
a) providing at least a platinum-coating titanium mesh;
b) heating magnesium scrap to form melted magnesium scrap;
c) adhering the melted magnesium scrap to the platinum-coating titanium meshes to form magnesium alloy-platinum-coating titanium
combination;
d) putting magnesium alloy-platinum-coating titanium combination in an airtight reaction chamber;
e) loading aqueous sodium chloride solution of 3.5 weight percent in the airtight reaction chamber, a valve of airtight reaction
chamber being closed when solution reaches a prescribed quantity for carrying out spontaneously hydrogen producing reaction;
and
f) the gas produced by the reaction being conducted from an exit of the airtight reaction chamber to a low temperature exsiccator
for condensing vapor involved in the gas, and collecting the gas.
