Water into Hydrogen - Making a Simple Hydrogen Generator from old battery - hho 

thank you bill nye 👍 but fr though yall take this guys advice

my advice, dont use grenade instead of the plastic bottle…

If this is true why aren't car's powered by it it's so simple clean and efficient and no need for dirty fuel's at nearly zero cost compared to oil based fuel

​@@johnmcilveen6052most likely because the power taken to produce the gas is bigger than the one you get from it.

​@@johnmcilveen6052if you have the electricity to produce hydrogen just use it to move your car

Just some safety concerns 1. Don't touch the electrode from this old battery without gloves. 2. Defenetly don't use salt you end up with chlorine gas and this is toxic. 3. U shouldn't catch hydrogen and oxygen in the same volume, that's a very dangerous idea. It needs only 19 milli Joule to ignite the detonating gas ("hho") that means the static electricity from your clothe can be enough to blow your hands away. Better learn how electrolyzer really work and build it in the right way, not this self-destruction mechanism 😉

This is what great research is about! Nice remarks

Надеюсь многие прочитают ваше сообщение и не будут повторять эксперимент из видео. И да, если уже собирать, то отдельно водород и кислород и да использовать кислоту, а не соль.

This is also one way that submarines can supplement their oxygen for extended stays underwater, electrolysing *pure* water to get the oxygen, but this is not practical for long when you only have a limited supply of pure water when surrounded by so much salt water, because it also takes alot of energy and time to filter/purify salt water, whether it's by boiling and condensing(distilling) or reverse osmosis (direct filtering). The other way is by "burning" what are called candles, which is very counter-intuitive because normal candles burn oxygen, but these "candles" give off oxygen. Although, adding more oxygen is pointless if you don't have a way to remove waste gases. Filtering is usually done by passing the air through filters which capture the carbon dioxide by reacting with it to produce less harmful substances. For example air can be filtered through calcium hydroxide which removes the carbon dioxide by reacting with it to produce calcium carbonate(chalk) and water. I love how it all comes down to chemistry and how the products of water electrolysis can be burnt and they produce exactly that from which they came, water. Even in the previously mentioned pools, saltwater pools slowly become more alkaline or basic from the chlorinator. As the water becomes more basic, an acid is added to correct the levels, and what's actually happening chemically is the Sodium hydroxides produced from chlorination react with the acid (which is usually hydrochloric acid, containing chlorine) and the products are just Salt and water, which can be used by the system all over again. *Salts and dissolved substances don't disappear with the water when it evaporates* Just saying, just in case 😅 (seen some pools almost as salty as the ocean 🤣)

@TheUwolus I suppose you don't want any kind of metallic salts. Salts are a union between elements that on their own are very volatile or toxic. E.g Sodium Chloride, Iron sulfate, Potassium chloride, copper chloride, Potassium nitrates.

In fact, there are 99% couch experts in the comments. Lol

There is no shortage of RU-vid comment experts

An abundance of brain scientists and rocket surgeons 🤣🤣

That's why you use distilled water for this experiment and not tap water as shown

@@tomokocchikuroki6200 the water came out of a kettle. Boiled water is not the same as distilled water!

Why not NaOH

@@ColinMcNultyhe never said it was?

@@SchmuelGoldstein-mj8rk Ah, I think I may have misinterpreted what he was saying. I thought he was saying the video was showing distilled water.

Now I know why I got "Satan's guide to Bible" as a video recommendation. Time to learn what a "bubbler" is. Stay safe XD

@@madeinresitasometimeago3970What?

No!!!! I just opened a hydrogen store and this guy is killing my business. Between him and the atmosphere I'm really struggling. Oxygen, now that's a money gas. Everyone knows that.

​@@whywouldudothat2914 We're about to end this man's whole career ( no one tell him )

Seriously. Batteries are toxic

Thank youu

I don't feel sorry for stupid people

Dry cell batteries are safe.

Jaaaaaaaajajajaja

OMG thats hilarious!

Remind me of when I was a kid except we used mason jars filled with gasoline and a vacant house

Not a good ending😅

Are you in 3rd grade😂

no, but impressed with what you learned in fourth grade, for sure! some kids are amazing!

@@BabylonPatrol I'm really surpised we still don't have laws which would make it mandatory for all of us to learn everything about Hydrogen, Lithium, Cobalt, Carbon etc. Once we're fully educated, everybody will have to buy an electric car, and then we're done, and rain forest will grow additional 20m in one year, and will suck all the ugly carbon from our galaxy (if we didn't do that, sea level would rise for 70m in just six months), and then we'll be happy! And uncle Klaus will be happy. Only he'll be happy because he has everything, and we'll be happy because we have nothing. And counting;)

You are dumb.

Buongiorno i supporti della grafite di che materiale sono fatti? Grazie

Let me tell you what the problem is. When you are halfway through electrolysis, the positive and negative electrodes will be covered with potassium, which affects efficiency. At this time, you only need to pause for two minutes before continuing. This intermittent work will surprise you.

@user Just build a contraption to automate that process lol

without any gloves. GG

​​@@RipOffline point full notice ! The difference between trained and self taught scientists. Anyone can be scientists but if an individual has worked and trained safety measures then we can see the difference between truthful vs deceitful claimed formula by self taught genuis 😂 And such inventions never gets brought yet get used repeatedly due to their genuis skills.

Who prevents you from varnishing these parts?

Would stainless corrode?

@@neilstern7108 It shouldn't. Of course, stainless steel can be different. But mostly it is corrosion resistant.

@@Walker7745 thanks for your reply. It is also non magnetic if that helps anything. I'd love to make one. You guys are awesome.

@@neilstern7108 Yes, you successfully reminded me. Suitable stainless steel should be non-magnetic - this is the right sign. Okay Good luck to you.

Ummmmmm sure it's for the kids and not some other nefarious purposes... Wink wink nudge nudge

haha oh wait are batteries toxic? Is it bad for drain-cleaner to undergo electrolysis?

@@N3ur0m4nc3rit says on the batteries to not pierce them or something like that

Increase the surface of your electrodes. It's better to use stainless steel plates instead these rods.

Distilled water simply removes all impurities. Why would you not use it?

@@Rotorhead1651 The fact is that pure H2O does NOT conduct current. Distilled water is pure H2O. If you take ordinary tap water, as I said above, then it contains impurities: all sorts of different salts and metal cations, which are conductors of electric current. That is why water seems to be a dielectric, but the current still conducts. Salt, acid or, as in the video, alkali is used to increase the content of metal cations in water and, accordingly, improve its ability to conduct electric current. However, these impurities are also involved in the electrolysis process, which is why other impurities also appear in the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, which makes it more dirty. If nothing is added to the water ( not distilled ) then the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen will turn out much cleaner, but you will need a much higher voltage for the electrolysis process. I hope I explained everything clearly. If it's not difficult for you, please answer me in Russian. I wrote this text through a translator so that you would understand and not have to insert it into the translator and translate it yourself. I will be pleased if they answer me in Russian. Good luck!

@@1KiNeTiK1 Stainless steel is certainly better than graphite rods, but I would advise using copper plates, since steel can react with the electrolyte and deteriorate or even crumble after long use, like mine. I speak from personal experience, we are tired of very strong corrosion even from a salt solution! Copper plates are much better, but they are hard to find and they are more expensive than steel. If it's not difficult, please write your answer with a translation into Russian. thanks for understanding.

​@@Rotorhead1651porque reduz consideravelmente a capacidade de condição

Dangerous too

@@user-cd8td3xm6o True. Never try this yourself but watch his careful results.

creative?

But be careful using Hydrogen gas; it is highly explosive!

no, ev is already here, in h2 you need infrastructure the same as conventional fossil fuels, you need to transport and store it. in ev. no need

I thought so too! Efficient use of materials.

Which type of battery should I look for

​@@blank..-..for alkaline dry cell batteries

@@vaclavmoravec5764 thanks

I don't think the audience is so cruel as to lynch anyone. Carbon electrodes are contained in the cheapest salt batteries.

​@@blank..-..graphite electrodes are available in stores with welding equipment, at least in our country

I think thats solder…

yes. i use 3 volts or a 5 volt mobile charger

Can we use the same electrolasismethod to make colloidal silver?@@esecallum

Thank you! Cheers!

The petrol industry is not at all concerned with this, because it's just not viable. You are not creating energy by doing this, you are converting it. Poorly. With huge losses. Also, hydrogen is volatile as an energy storage. You know what works a lot better, and doesn't need conversion..? Batteries.

Interesują się. W Polsce stawiają ogromne farmy fotowoltaiczne. Nie, nie żeby sprzedawać energię. Żeby konwertować ją w wodór. Dlaczego? Bo nikt nie chce kupować energii słonecznej skoro słońce świeci za darmo, ludzie sami montują panele i akumulatory domowe.. pojawiło się wiele propagandy przeciwko elektrykom i nagle wszędzie promocja aut na wodór. Oni nie przejmują się stratą wody i że to nie opłacalne pod względem energii którą tracisz w procesie konwertowania wody na wodór, oni po prostu chcą dalej sprzedawać, nie obchodzi ich co sprzedawać.

+ pojawiła się propaganda że są jakieś nowoczesne sposoby produkcji wodoru, okłamują ludzi ze oszukali fizykę i nie tracą energii w procesie konwersji, że otrzymują jej więcej niż używają do tego procesu, zwyczajnie kłamią że ich prawa fizyki nie obowiązują. Mimo tego że to żart z logiki i nauki wodór jest mocno promowany i jest ogromna propaganda, niestety. Oni mają miliardy i stać ich na sianie kłamstw.

Да я тоже так счаю отличное идея в жизни понадобится. Где понадобится мини тепло.

6 seconds into the video, he shows how to remove them from AA batteries. It is a graphite rod.

Or one can put in line the anti return valve or the thing that extinguish the flame 🔥

Yes!! Its compulsory to add a back fire catcher

What do you use as electrodes? Carbon rods are great for the anodes (connected to battery positive), but not so vital for the cathodes. Not sure why you think disassembling carbon-zinc batteries is dangerous - it's much less dangerous than alkaline batteries (which are highly alkaline inside).

@@michaelnoble2432 using stainless steel plates in a dry cell is standard. Usually, with a rubber or neoprene gasket in between each layer. Destroying any battery is unnecessary to create an electrolyzer. Plus, the wet cell method is inefficient and not suitable for the long term.

@@P.I.E. interesting - in theory stainless steel will erode when used as the anode (carbon is far more resistant to this). How do they get around this problem? I think using AC might help by reversing which plate experiences oxidation 60 times per second?

@@michaelnoble2432 As far as corrosion goes, I am unsure. I am basing my information on others' experiences and builds. I have yet to build one myself, but I do plan to do so. Hopefully, as a future project video. DC is standard, but the idea of using AC also crossed my mind. But I believe that a higher voltage DC would be more efficient. These are topics and ideas I plan on exploring in my future build.

Its regular water, its actually a flashback arrest, HHO is extremely flammable since it has hydrogen and oxygen together and just needs ignition or high temp to ignite, so that bubbler doesn't let the flame pass back to the generator cell. Its a safety valve but transparent soft tubing isn't best for production since it can melt and cause boom.

Also hho can inplote under pressure pure hydrogen can be compress but HHO no because contains oxygen and if you compress the 2 molecules BOOM

The brass wool might work for methane and similar gases, but I don't think it would work with a (near stoichiometric) mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The flame velocity is very high and I think it would pass through quite tiny gaps before enough cooling to douse the flame. I suppose if it were fine enough mesh it might be possible, but would a very fine mesh be at risk of being broken or melted - either producing bigger holes or clogging up the holes? An interesting problem, but perhaps just try to keep the gases separate.

​@@Merlin3189it really does though I've witnessed tests myself but it has to be extremely fine brass wool typically found at a boating supply.

You’re right but that’s really not the point of the video.

I believe the flame is much hotter than a resistance heater

Yes, it is risky since the mixture of gases is unstable.

I was going to say, doesn't the hydrogen flame burn invisible?

Слава богу в школах не учат способам, как убить себя.

Absolutely! I got into chemistry and physics because my parents let me experiment with this sort of stuff from a very young age. My dad had wire, batteries, bulbs, magnets all sorts of stuff and built games out of them for me. When I got to secondary school and they started teaching science at age 12, I was already mad keen to learn everything about it - though it took the school a year or two to catch up with what I'd already read at the library. In those old days, teachers did indeed try to interest us by doing experiments like this. Later I became a science teacher myself, but by then we were being increasingly limited by health and safety concerns (of the management, not the teachers) so more and more experiments were banned. I'd hate to study science in school today. All you get now is; healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, fear every disease going, terror of weather and climate, just stop oil (& coal, gas), the damage to the environment of just about every human activity, sex training (that at least provokes some interest, though also a lot of embarrassment), etc. My specialism, chemistry, has almost disappeared, as just about every "chemical" is now too dangerous to use: if you are lucky you might dissolve salt and make salt crystals, or see an iron nail go rusty. But I have given up on schools as sources of knowledge and understanding - in all subjects, not just science. What really depresses me though, is the absence of good books in public libraries. In my local library, the non-fiction section is hardly visible - three shelves out of about 20 - and the few science books are nearly all limited to the school curriculum and are outnumbered by the fake science books - crystal healing, magic diets, climate madness, , .... I'm glad the internet still gives access to people who do know something about science, but you really have to be very careful. This video is entertaining, but not educational. It tells you little about the chemistry, nothing about the physics and paints a very misleading picture of this topic (Technology Ingredients did some even more impressive demos of this, but also explained the very real dangers and precautions.) Other comments have also pointed out the failings of this video, but it's sad to see that most comments are from people who not only don't know about the science involved, but actually "know" a lot that is false!

You didn't do this at school?

@@drunkenhobo8020 All our experiments were very boring. We burned linoelum once for example to see how pvc burns or put nails into some blue water to create crystals on them by letting them stand on window for 2 weeks but thats pretty much it. The most interesting chemistry experiment was when our chemistry teacher accidentally poisoned second floor of our elementary school with some chlorine based gas and we were all send home for 2 days before they managed to ventilate everything.

He says in video later on

İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler.

Very corrosive hydrogen is. And flammable think hindenburg

There is still a high negative energy inefficiency ratio between energy used to produce the hydrogen to potential energy released by the hydrogen.

because you need more energy to produce hydrogen than the energy it produce

yes, that is why they made a makeshift spark suppressor(the small bottle the needle was attached to) Still dangerous though, but fun.
