In this video we look at several electrolysis designs and their function. Check out this video's sponsor, MEL Physics! Use the promo code "nighthawk" for 50% your first set of experiments: melscience.com/s3p/
Most DC power supplies will work adequately well for electrolysis, the most common of which is a 12v battery charger or a car battery itself. For more control it is best to use an adjustable power supply. Here is an affiliate link where you can purchase a similar 30v 10a power supply as I use in this video: ebay.us/2DY3Y0
The last design shown in this video for a combined output HHO fuel cell I first stumbled on here: • CHEAPEST EASIEST FASTE...
After filming this video I realized that the plastic bottles I used for several of my designs had become quite brittle, and found research showing that hydroxide solutions are known to be quite damaging to plastics: www.sciencedirect.com/topics/...
I did not notice increased brittleness in the clear plastic container of my final split electrolysis design, but the plastic is much thicker and so it may take longer to show weakness. A suitable precaution to give the cell the longest life may be to empty it of electrolyte while in storage. A stainless steel or glass container should be able to store the hydroxide solution indefinitely.
A special thanks to my top Patrons: LVE, Enzo Breda Lee, Jon Hartmann, TheBackyardScientist & Eugene Pakhomov! If you enjoy these videos please consider supporting my efforts to continually improve them: / nighthawkprojects

Several people have commented with the valid concern that using low quality stainless steel electrodes will contaminate the electrolyte solution with poisonous hexavalent chromium which is not safe to handle or dispose of. I have spent some time this afternoon coming up with a solution to this problem. When using a strongly alkaline solution of KOH or NaOH as your electrolyte the fix is easy: drop a small 1x1 inch piece of aluminum foil into the electrolyte and let it dissolve. Do not add more than a small piece of foil at a time or the reaction may be violent. The dissolving foil will cause any dangerous chromium to convert into a non toxic variation, Cr(iii), evidenced by a green precipitate. One or two pieces of foil dissolved in this way and allowed to react for a few hours should be enough to ensure all chromium has been rendered non toxic.

I applaud the efforts to "neutralize" the Cr(VI) with a reducing agent but since you're still running the electrolysis cell you will be electrochemically oxidizing Cr(III) back to Cr(VI).

I did notice how low it was, Thanks to the Automatic Gain Control. By your reaction and the bang that was very close to a small size firework payload detonating next to you. not fun. also, you forgot to mention that spark are generating by pretty much any voltage. as low as 1 volt. don't how many amperes one needs for that, however is clear that it can be very dangerous when using poorly secure connections.

@@dandan-gf4jk I don't mind some dilute Cr(VI) when it's contained inside the cell, so long as there's a means to neutralize it prior to storage or disposal. Actually, since Cr(III) is extremely insoluble it's unlikely you would convert it back once reduced. You only have to deal with what forms fresh off the positive electrode.

@@Nighthawkinlight Then we might have different priorities, I was quite unhappy to find my SS cathode corrode because I left it in solution. In general having Cr(VI) in solution is better than having solid dust flying around, but still di/chromates are somewhat potent carcinogens so it would be beneficial to inform people that they probably shouldn't spill the water on themselves :P

you should check the PH value of the two containers in your first unit, before and after running it for a while because I am betting you have a slow return of the component of potassium back to one of the containers after it has been drawn to one of the electrodes in side with only a small hole and path to run back into the other side to equalize again. (look into chloro-alki cells used to split sodium chloride into hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, by way of a barrier that the components wont pass back through after being pulled or forced through or attracted by the inbalance of positive and negative charges. )

I remember in my high school science class, my teacher demonstrated an hho device he had made. He used it to fill an upside down 2 litre coke bottle with the hho gas. He then sat the bottle at a 45 degree angle on a special launch rod he had made, removed the cap and held a flame to the end. The resulting explosion launched the bottle across the room, and into the brick wall on the opposite side, crushing the bottle to about half its length. Extremely dangerous to do in a classroom, but it was an awesome demonstration of the power of hydrogen and how to extract it from water. It is a science lesson i will never forget.

Two useful suggestions: 1. the anode could be replaced to 「2.0mm Mechanical Pencil Core」which is cheap, replaceable, easy-get, inert. Each core is a 14cm long, 2.0mm diameter graphite stick. It won't generate any poisonous ions. Though the graphite pencil core can disolve to poders gradually, it's really cheap and easy to replace. 2. If the pure oxygen is not useful, the anode bottle could be omitted, just attach the anode at the outer surface of cathode bottle. So the graphite anode could be more easyer to replace. Your video is really great.

Back in the days and I was a lot younger, I tried a HHO generator with a small flashback arrestor like you have done. However it unfortunately did flash back into the electrode chamber, though because I made everything using marmite jars the resulting blow rendered most of the plastic fragments everywhere! The bang was so loud it threw me to the floor and I had ringing in my ears for quite a few minutes afterwards. Miraculously I didn't get hurt, not get any of those shards of plastic in me (at least not any I could feel), but I certainly had quite a bit more respect for the stuff afterwards. I still don't know why the water based flashback arrestor didn't work, but perhaps it was because it was too shallow a container, and when the initial blast occurred in there, it agitated enough of the water in that chamber for the hot gas to make its way into the feeder pipe, and violently back into the electrode chamber. I much prefer the idea of a split gas electrolyser now :)

Nice explanation! I just produced my own version of a combined sock version and your single output electrolysis item. Of course I wasn't yet educated with the seriousness of the danger of a single collection of the gasses. your slow mo explosion was very useful to see what actually happened to me. I was hoping to ignite the gas as a flame, but it went right back to the suppressor and blew the plastic lid off it like a few m80s bound together. I like your dual collection example, and I'm going to look for your oxy-hydrogen torch video. Thank you again. I'm dumb enough to try this without completely understanding the explosive danger. But now I know and I am fortunate that my B omb didn't hurt me or someone else. Thank you again for the detail. (I had 3 marine 12 v batteries in series to provide the electricity, two steel all threads about 7" each, into a plastic container with one 3/4" gas tube exiting to the suppressor, with the final 1/2" tube from the suppressor to what I was hoping to be my gas manifold. The manifold only served as the ignition spot (used a lighter) for the bullet of gas that traveled back up the 1/2" tube to the top of the suppressor where there was enough gas for a very large plastic lid explosion. The lid fragmented over a large area. My explosion was not slo-mo.)

Nice, I'd like to add something about the Voltage vs. Efficiency relationship(which you hinted on several times, but didn't explain in detail, so many people probably didn't notice it) - any time you're going above the minimum practical voltage for electrolysis (~2.5v = ~80%), the maximum possible efficiency drops linearly (because the current performs the electrolysis and not the watts), so at 5v it's impossible to have more than a 40% efficienty and at 12v - around 15%. Or in other words, if you are supplying 12v to a single cell, by creating 5 cells with closer electrode spacing and connecting them in series, you'll produce 5 times more gas for the same input power.

@@lacuentadevideos I've done some experimenting in the past and determined that you can't create neutral middle plates that way unfortunately, there has to be none or very little water connectivity between non nearby plates. If you just arrange plates one next to another and submerge them, 90% of the bubbles form just on the outer two, same with the concentric sock setup you're suggesting :( the reason obviously being that the lower resistance of the plate is not that much lower than the path around it through the electrolyte, as the plates are very thin. so its like two resistors with close values in parallel and you expecting all the current to flow through just one. A concentric pipe(not porous unlike the kitchen scrubbers) setup will work, but will be practical only for hho gas, its not easy to separate.

My friend and I made one with stainless steel plates and a water filter housing something like 17 or 18 years ago. The issue has always been Amp draw and do to that heat. The remedy is using a frequency generator to pulse the power and reduce Amp draw while still producing the same or great amount of HHO.

@PghFlip
@PghFlip 2 роки тому
two things i think might be ok with the setup... first, the output of the device is open air, which means the pressure does have an escape route. Second PET bottles tend to have quite a bit of pressure capacity and are fairly light to boot. That looked like a water bottle which is thinner than a carbonated beverage bottle. In this case, again in my unprofessional opinion, I think that would allow the bottle to deform giving the pressure time to escape via the output tube, and being thinner would rupture at lower pressures than a pressure rated device. I think an ideal setup would be something like a plastic food container that has a lid lose enough to pop off in case of explosion. a grease of some sort could be applied to the seal to help mitigate the potential leaking of the smaller hydrogen molecules.

I have built many an electrolyzer and have to compliment you on your practical designs especially with the combined gas electrolyzer. The sock design is ingenious - I would have thought that frayed wires from the scourer pads might protrude through the sock and cause electrical shorts. Very practical and simple design! Just one remark on you mentioning that the electricity passes through the liquid (6:45 and 7:30). It is correct to say that charged ions form at the electrodes and these complete the electrical conduction path in the liquid when they migrate between electrodes. "Electricity" is the flow of electrons which is not true for the electrolyte. I used to say to my students that "electrons cannot swim". Thanks for you great work here!

Then I was going to lite the gas bubbles coming to the top of the water. Well I lit the bubbles, the fire traveled down under 2 inches of water and into the pipe, then into the glass generator. Yes it exploded. I had safety glasses on and was not harmed. Time to sweep up glass test tube pieces.

I started no HHO at 22 mpg hiway/city and increased it to 28mpg hiway/city with HHO. I used a pulsed width modulator to pulse the current on the plates and a pot to control DC voltage. This took alot of experimenting to get this far in performance. The gas was not stored and used as it was created. On the highway I averaged 32 mpg. On flat ground no wind mpg went as high as 42mpg. I still have the generator in my shop. I stopped investigating and many other things because of my health. It was a lot of fun. The biggest generator I made was for a 454 cubic inch engine.

I was just trying to make one of these this morning! Perfect timing. I tried using soup cans, but the downside is you have to sand the insides because they're coated with something. I wanted to make a single container split output generator. Basically if the soup can is positive, and a smaller can (with an outside coating, only the inside would be metal) is submerged in it, the H2 gas will be generated only inside the smaller can and you can place a tube on it's bottom, which would be the top in this design. The cans can be internally separated by paper or a sock like you showed just in case. The benefit here is that it _can_ (no pun intended) function like both a single and split output. For single output just don't connect a tube and the gases will be mixed, you _can_ put the whole thing in a 2L bottle (I'm sure you could think of a better design), and if you want only one gas output then connect a tube to the smaller can. The surface area is small, but if you use large cans it won't be an big issue. Here is a diagram in case i didn't explain it well: __________ | ________ primary gas output | | | _ _ | |_ _ | | | H2 | | | | | | secondary gas output is discarded, but could be collected | | | | |__________| both gases are mixed if there is no tube on the small can ___________ | __________ combined gas output | | _ _ | | _ _ / \ /| _ _ | |_ _ |\ | | H2 | | | | | | | | | | |__________|

I so hope that you will do the atomic hydrogen torch because I am at the edge of my seat eager to learn about this
