Atomic Hydrogen Rockets

Hello,
With all of the papers written by NASA & others regarding the
feasability of using atomic hydrogen as a rocket & jet fuel, why has no
one made functioning prototype? It seems it would be fairly easy to
construct even a small demo model compaired to building other types of
rocket motors, but no one has that I know of.

I would be willing to do this myself using a small hydrogen tank, but
there are strict safety issues regarding the delivery & use of hydrogen
tanks. Usually I am the type of person that tries to defy most rules &
regulations, but this time I pretty much agree with the safety
precautions that must be made when using a hydrogen tank. So that
eliminates me wanting to experiment with this for now.

Still I would think that some one has done this, perhaps in a college
research lab?
