Just a tip, if you separate the cathodes and the anodes and have separate collection reservoirs above each, you would be able to collect the hydrogen and oxygen separately. Just a tip 😘 Also you need to make sure you use distilled or as pure water as possible, read on to find out why. Although pure water is not conductive to electricity, any contaminant will do, a rock or pebble, even the anodes and cathodes themselves. I don't think you necessarily need the potassium salt and you definitely don't want any Sodium salt to be in the water you're using. Reason being if Sodium salts are present you will end up with chlorine gas, which is toxic. BTW this is exactly how Saltwater pools chlorinate water, the water flows from the filter to a device with electrified plates which split the salt in the water realising chlorine gas which dissolves into the water and essentially evaporates out over time. Because it exists as a gas other things called chlorine stabilisers or "sunscreen" are added and hold on to the chlorine weakly and release it slowly in the water.

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 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 🤣)

Also try to maximize the electrode area and power. I used a cropped charge from a 2A phone. You can use ordinary water - it also conducts current (only NOT distilled). If you take ordinary tap water, then hydrogen will turn out much cleaner and will burn with a blue flame, but in this case you will have to greatly increase the voltage, otherwise nothing will work.

@@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.

The voltage between the two electrodes must be limited to 3V. If you give 12v directly to the electrodes, the system will heat like hell. I done this thing to my motorcycle a while ago to increase fuel efficiency and power.

I did this experiment of electrolysis of water in class of physics when I was a kid and subsequently at home. There is a noticeable difference though, with the way it was practiced. There indeed was water, a catalyst like salt because plain water is not ionized enough to allow the electrolysis and then there were 2 electrodes with 2 tubes (1 tube per). The tubes needed to be completely full of water, no air, not even a single bubble. Only DC, no AC and no swapping polarities. One tube gets filled with H2 (minus polarity), the other with O2 (plus polarity) (half as much as H2). H2 cannot burn alone. It needs another element like oxygen.

This is amazing. Simple, effective, clean. Great work

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.

You could just make a resistance heater with that one battery and youd get the same heat. The power from the little battery is splitting the water up at that same power rate. Then the flame can only reassemble that water at the maximum of that power from the battery. Theoretically. But there will be losses so itd actually be less.

C and D type had a much better ratio, but it's still so so. I don't know if this depends on chemistry. I didn't mean to spam, but seeing 61K have already seen this, I don't want them to linch you:)

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

I wish we stuff like this at school. I would have paid much more attention if that was a case during classes.

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!

@@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.

What a great idea to take batteries apart without wearing gloves.

Pretty cool! I’m sure the salt water mix is dirty from oxidation of the cathodes and anodes. Or some shit like that.

Brilliant! Thank you!

Does the distance between each graphite rod have to be specific? Please help.

Awesome work. Been following HHO projects since 2005. Are you able to list all the components you used? I want to shop for them but just can't figure out their names. Did you 3D print the bits for the battery cathode holder?

Amazing inventions

Y el grafito que tiempo aguanta antes de corroerse .??

the smartest thing I have seen on you tube !

Bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !..... Fantastic work !.... I'm subscribing.... 🙂 From Brussels, with Love....

I made a bubbler out of mason jar. It worked great. It’s highly flammable so be careful. It still amazes me you can make fuel from water.

Doing it with Salt water (NaCl) is potentially dangerous as you may get Chlorine along with Oxygen at the Cathode. I think that causes the yellow coloration of the solution.

Awesome work!

Atenção: só faça isso, se vc for de maior e ter experiência comprovada em carteira 😅😅! Simples e fucional 🇧🇷👏👏👍🤝🤝

It should be mentioned that the "old Batteries" here are Zinc Carbon batteries. Some people might be surprised if they disasemble different type aa cells and dont get the thick long electrodes ( or is it an anode ) that they expect to see after watching this video! Different batteries have different chemistry and might be more hazardous to handle, zink coal seems to be the harmless version in comparison, correct me if i am wrong tough. Why do i mention this? Because i myself just stumbled over this video recently and out of curiosity i wanted to recreate the device, so i looked trough some old batterys here. Surprised to see that they dont open at the positive pole side like in the video, after some research i then found out that is because the electodes of other battery types seem to be inserted from the negative side. If you manage to get them disasembled you will just have a very thin metal rod, very different from the zink carbon version. At least in appears to be like that in the alkaline batteries which i had. I also found one Zinc Carbon Battery, that one was built up like shown in the video but mine was secured against tempering better then the ones shown here and i could not get the electrode / anode out without it disconnecting of the connector and then breaking because carbon mines are brittle. Good luck finding and disassembling batteries that are suited for this project :-)

And I always thought it was too energy intensive to separate hydrogen and oxygen since bonding them makes for the best reaction for rocket engines to this day…

Ah, HHO. Oxyhydrogen! It's often called Brown's gas. I have been playing with HHO since I was 17.. and now I am 45.

everyone who does things with hydro always just makes flames or little things blow up. good vid though👏🏻, everyone is to afraid to put it into something like an engine or something bigger for fear of being assassinated 😳 wouldn't be the 1st time 🤷🤷🤷🤷

I didnt expect you can generate hydrogen from two 1.5V batteries.

How often do we have to fill the water container that holds the electrodes?

Wild. I kept thinking, "That seems dangerous!"

Dangerous! You create a perfect mix af oxigen and hydrogen gas in one container. I hope it's only people who know what they're doing to get inspired by this video.

Guzel bir proje olmuş, tebrik ederim

insyallah this is exactly what i need for my final year project thank you for posting this video it is good inspiration to take from especially with the comments section

Just wanna know how many times this idea blewup on him. Cause, and from experience, dialing in proper voltage, gas line od and width and "torch tip" size and length can be.. expensive 😂 Regulating the system enough to produce a stable flame for short period of time is tricky asf. ❤❤🎉

So Not Hydrogen as the title says but HHO (Browns Gas)

I did it and it was simple too. Just electrolysis of koh solution. And remember to be careful when making koh because koh is quite dangerous

6：00 Would that be dangerous? Because inside the little bottle is filled with H2 and O2. Would the flame burn through that needle and go into the chamber and make an explosion?

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