Two electrodes walled of from each other except at the bottom

Yeah don't you just separate the positive and negatively charged terminals?

Yeah, I did this in the kitchen when I was 15. To get the hydrogen and oxygen separate from one another you need a capture vessel for the positive bank of electrodes and one for the negative bank. Each electrode needs to be under its own separate inverted gas capture vessel. Simply use two inverted vessels filled with water like the video showed. I forget which polarity generates O2 and which generates H2 but you can easily tell because the equation is: 2H20 -> O2 + 2H2 So because you generate twice as much H2 it will take up twice as much volume as the O2 gas. O2 is heavier but the gas volume doesn't depend upon molecular mass. It's fun to watch the two gas capture vessels fill up at a 1:2 ratio.

check out NightHawkInLight's channel, he has made a lot of videos about electrolysis.

The resulting gases are H2 and O2. You can separate them by separating the negative poles and the possitive poles then collecting each of the two gases generated at the poles.

It is not nice. It is not hydrogen generator as is written in title, it is brown's gas generator. Brown's gas is dangerous, it explodes very loudly from very small spark. Hydrogen instead burns mildly. With brown's gas you even cannot fill balloon.

If you used brine, you didn't produce oxygen but chlorine. This does corrode many metals quiet fast. I like the approach in the video, using potassium hydroxide, since you avoid the nasty chlorine production. As a reference: in industry, chlorine is often produced by electrolysis of brine. Just as you described 🙂

You kids and yur fancy electrons! 🤔 in my day we made our own gunpowder to gain neighbourhood notoriety 🤓 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, but what do you get out of life?

Its actually much easier to make hydrogen by sticking aluminium foil in potassium hydroxide (drain cleaner) - although harder to get these days and scary stuff. Sodium Hydroxide (also drain cleaner) is much easier to obtain and works well....and cheap. Although, using the potassium hydroxide & aluminium requires great care since its highly exothermic and can boil. Lets just say you don't want to be splashed by boiling potassium hydroxide......(flesh kinda' turns to soap) Using the electrolysis method is much easier to control. Although don't like the idea of messing around with potassium hydroxide without proper goggles (one splash and would be blind) .....and definitely not aluminium washers as electrodes in Potassium Hydroxide !!! Yup, sodium chloride [brine] is cheaper but eats away at the electrodes quickly since its chlorine produced. Can use carbon electrodes, but these are more expensive. Beware, the solution has to be discarded carefully since its....sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite at each electrode (although these combine and solution is pretty much bleach or its dilute hydrocholric acid and concentrated sodium hydroxide at each electrode but the final mix is sodium hypochlorite ) Once did this as a kid and collected the Chlorine and accidentally smelled a little too much. Lets just say that's a really bad idea. Damn, how evil for those poor WW1 victims or those in Syria, such a nasty gas.

i made one much bigger to run hydro gas into my diesel truck engine. it did nothing for fuel economy . that size in the video is good for lighting a cigarette . or just carry a lighter.

I bet if you used nickel foam(like they use for increased surface area for battery electrodes), it would really crank out gas. And, you can cut it with scissors and poke holes with a needle in it

@@RealRocdad the water is conducting the current. The neutral plate cause the current to evenly distribute across the full surface of the active washers. Without the neutral plate ( + - + - + -) the current simply finds the path of least resistance and only a small portion of the surface area of the washer is actually breaking down the water. The result is more current goes to making heat instead of work. This is also dangerous because path of least resistance also means a high chance of spark, I don't know about you but I like my HHO reaction chambers not blown up ...

oh man, be careful it does not blow up when you are generating H2

H2 fuel Vehicles are required

If you want to collect H separately, you could try a double chamber with a tube connecting them. one chamber is connected to positive, one to negative. You'll have twice the amount of H as oxygen, though I can't tell you if the production would be nearly as fruitful since the leads would be far apart.

You are better off charging a battery with the electricity than wasting it producing H. Since there is not even close to a one to one ratio, it's a waste of energy. Nuclear power is the only viable source to split the H2O molecules that doesn't waste the source energy input.

@@jimwalker1837 tap into intake as it's a fuel I'd think

It's not quite the whole picture. The H2O itself doesn't break down. H2O is not a charged molecule/ion, so it is inert in an electric field. That's why they need the acid or base catalyst. The OH- from a base catalyst or water dissociation(acid catalyst) will become O2 at the cathode. And the H+ from an acid catalyst or water dissociation (base catalyst) will become H2 at the anode. When the OH- gets oxidised to O2 it reforms the same amount of H+ that was reduced at the anode. The catalyst is reformed, and overall reaction is 2H2O to 2H2 and O2

Look up Joe cell

That’s true

Same here, just randomly appeared. Super cool and really straight forward to make.

Keep in mind this, as built, is not a _hydrogen_ generator, but an _HHO_ generator - it spits out H2 & O2 in a stoichiometric ratio perfect for rapid combustion. Great if that's what you want. Not so great if you want just a hydrogen generator. You could get just the hydrogen by splitting up the electrodes so that you're only collecting gas from the (-) side. This also isn't a way to run Stanley Meyer's "water car" before anyone gets bright ideas. The energy from the combustion is somewhat less than the energy drained from the battery.

@@teejfalconaf oh I see! Thanks for the explanation. HHO can still be fairly useful to me anyway. I may also consider modifying it somewhat so that the anode and cathode are further apart so I can have hydrogen and oxygen separately.

Bear in mind that you'll be making a highly explosive mixture, not just hydrogen. You can find alternative builds that will allow you to collect the two gasses separately from electrode/cathode, much safer.

@yoochoooob why detonation?

What would be an example of practical use of this hydrogen? Or this project would be for teaching purposes only.

batteries has a voltage drop as it drains, due to spent electrolyte being more resistant (power supplies also has internal resistance), ideally you want a battery that can stay above 3V at all times. stacking batteries to get higher volts is also an option to make the reaction go faster, but higher voltages may result in uncontrollable reaction (if u use table salt, you would produce chlorine at an alarming rate that the liquid inside turns to chlorox, and chlorox can vaporise, harming your gas output)

@@aoyuki1409 just placing the batteries in parallel will simply increase your usage duration without increasing the voltage output. safe voltage range, increased amp-hour capacity.

@@endless5soul yea true, normally when you just want a stable source of H2 its best to hook the bats in parallel but OP was talking about car batteries which basically implies that he wanted to rapidly generate H2 in quick bursts rather than longevity, probably for his own personal experiments. but a greater voltage would cause reactions to fast so chlorine and other cations could be a hazard besides the flammable hydrogen
