    ​@Notwhitewolf While electrolysis of relatively pure water produces basically pure H2 (hydrogen) at the cathode and basically pure O2 (oxygen) at the anode; if the water is nearly saturated with sodium chloride (the primary component of table salt), something different happens. H2 and O2 are still produced, but the O2 is mixed with Cl2 (chlorine gas) and in the water (rather than bubbling out with the gases), NaOH is produced (sodium hydroxide, commonly used as drain cleaner and in various detergents and other cleaning products).

    2:30 this is used in genetic and proteomic testing using electrophoresis gel. The protein or gene strand is put into a gel with varying degrees of density as a current runs through the fluid and pulls the materials through. Based on the length of the genetic strand it will stop moving at a certain point in the fluid because of friction and you can use this to see if your sample has a gene strand or protein that matches your control.

    Salt water electrolysis produces Chlorine gas, hydrogen, oxygen and sodium hydroxide (which gets dissolved instantly) - but in quite inconsistent ammount. Also for the electrolysis to happen, you need around 1.3 Volts, at that voltage you are probably just frying the water, but I would do this outside just to be sure :)

I wrote another small correction to the light bulbs video (about halogen second glass layer, is not for aspect but for UV-cutting, the first quartz one doesn't), but I suppose is quite unlikely to find them... just in case, give back a signal, doing it just to improve your videos, which I follow.

HHO is pretty violent, so it'd probably be difficult to manage, but I'd pay to see it at boat scale. If you were to make this at boat scale and drop it in the ocean you'd need a hell of a lot of voltage. Also the cathode will eventually corrode away, leaving you stranded.

    Thanks for a great video as usual! This doesn't need a fancy name - it's a simple example of the right-hand rule (the Lorentz force F= qv x B associated with a charge moving in a magnetic field producing a force as the cross product of those 2 vectors). As -ve ions move towards the +ve plate they will experience a force along the channel. The +ve ions move in the other direction across the channel, but because they are of opposite sign, the effective current is in the same direction and so they also experience a force in the same direction along the channel and so the entire body of water is pushed along the channel. Yes the gases are poisonous (chlorine if you used table salt) - far safer to use sodium bicarbonate to make it conductive, but when has danger ever stopped you from experimenting! 🙂 A cool thing I created back in high school, along the lines of what was shown in the debunked video, was to make the water spin - put the water in a petri dish and line the interior wall with foil, place a magnet under the dish and another with the opposite pole above the dish, suspend a pin from the top magnet that dips into the the center of the water, run a radial current from the foil to the pin (via a connection to the top magnet) and viola, you've got a model cyclotron. 🙂 Cheers.

    Yeah fancy names are just historical. Railgun - the simplest and earliest example of Lorentz force use by someone who tried to conceive an electricity-powered gun. Originally it's what engineers call "linear motor" and concept of railgun was introduced in 1910s. Gauss gun or coil gun - uses same rule but force is created by inducted currents. This "water railgun" was originally conceived in early 80s and quickly replaced by "water coilgun" - a.k.a. electrohydrodynamic turbine.
