Yep, right, H2 concentration in the air is 0.0005%

Going to need a massive airflow for the process to pick up the 5 H2 molecules amongst 1,000,000 air molecules.
To make the process viable, 5 H2 molecules would be insufficient - you'd need an airflow of many cubic meters per second.

I'd like to see the hardware for that built into a small device!
