Or: you could use your bench DC power supply, a piece of copper and a piece of zinc (cathode and anode). Set up 5 VDC 2A, chuck into a beaker as demonstrated above with table salt and h2o. _Same result except costs pennies instead of $20.00. Come on you electronic technicians!_

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Give it a rest troll.... the average person doesn't just have stuff like this just lying around.

[@vincentmercier1265]

Indeed, a simple USB phone charger and an old USB cable can do it. But let me ask you: why copper and zinc? Why not two pieces of copper or two pieces of zinc? (or maybe two screw drivers?)

[@brianwood5220]

Great product Paul and thanks for sharing. Mine is now ordered using your link.

[@user-xq5ih5oz2u]

Nice! Lots of helpful info - can’t wait to try it. You rock 🤘⚡️

[@tantran4714]

Work great I bought 5 and still been using it

[@robertwebb5586]

I bought 2 spray bottles that do this, My aunt loves it! At first she thought I was crazy til I made some...:)

[@plusplusultra1652]

I love this man

[@donhiscock6933]

Grate video Paul and thank you.

[@lcheneyt]

I would like to make the generator myself. It would be nice to dismantle the cheap one to see how it is made.

[@sudhanvagr]

The only video with 0 dislikes, simply anyone can't hate this man videos.

hypochlorous acid... not sodium hydrochlorite. This stuff is electrolyzed salt water and you can clean things with it or drink it. gotta use kosher salt for it to work right thom

[@IrinaMax]

For everyone who want to get it: you should put much less salt to more water and wait just 2-3 min to make it drinkable or use it on the skin. I made it 8oz with this one spoon of salt, used spoon included in package. 10 min make is total strong bleach and even smell as bleach.

[@nissan_skyline]

This device is marketed as a sodium hypochlorite generator, but it can generate both because hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a precursor to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL). It all depends on the pH level. Stabilized HOCl is in the form of a 0.9% saline solution at a pH of 3.5 to 6. At pH values less than 3.5, chlorine gas (not good) begins to form, at pH values greater than 5.5, NaOCL begins to form (bleach has an alkaline pH of 11-13). A neutral pH of 7 is about 75% HOCl and 25% NaOCL. To maintain HOCl in a stable form that maximizes its antimicrobial activities, the pH of your solution needs to be between 3.5 to 5. 5% distilled white vinegar is commonly used to help bring down pH levels. Always test your chlorine and pH levels if you're making this stuff at home. Also, HOCl can be used to disinfect drinking water, but you shouldn't be drinking the solution. Don't do that.

[@andreachua657]

Hi, do i need to add a little vinegar to the salt water solution before adding the device? Not a sciency person but i hope you can give some clarity

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

What is the ppm of the result? You should also never use iodized salt. The other aspect of this is that this will oxidize very quickly in like 3-4 days, so it needs to be rerun to keep it potent.

[@frankhellman6879]

You forgot to say don't use it as a mouth wash. Remember Gorilla glue girl could be listening.

[@tantran4714]

You can get the same on AliExpress for 5 US dollars

[@fefafafe5059]

Nice

[@TheShawnyD]

1 of the scoops per 100ml and it will show higher concentration and watt draw! Best of luck and thanks for the video.

[@weerobot]

Cool..

[@virgilharsell7463]

Quick question Paul, did you use plain or iodized salt? And would there be a difference in potentcy of the final product?

[@learnelectronics]

I used iodized. As for potency, I have no idea.

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

You need to use non-iodized salt. Just kosher salt.

[@nissan_skyline]

@@learnelectronicsYou need to use Kosher salt.

[@Ddrenzo]

Cut then end off one side of a USB cable and splay out the wires will do the same thing. Also add some Vinegar.

[@TheBadFred]

What is the material of the electrodes?

[@learnelectronics]

Stainless

[@TheBadFred]

@@learnelectronics Ok, nothing extraordinary like platinum plated or so.

[@stephenhogg6154]

How can the machine be made?

[@makowskid8]

I made one using some nails for probes, an old phone charger, and a circuit board from a radio that has a switch and a couple of rheostats!

[@keithking1985]

WHAT HAPPEN'S WHEN SOME ONE TRY'S TO MAKE THEIR OWN VERSION & DOSE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT WRONG(NOT GOING TO SAY HOW FOR SAFETY) AND THE END UP MAKING CHLORINE GAS????

[@honestreviews2321]

Is that what he did because he used the wrong salt

[@poopsmcgeegrows8074]

no chlorine here

[@xboxgamer9216]

Ig u should re-upload the video I could see ur pincode

[@bblod4896]

Bleach. I go to the store, throw down a couple of bucks, put eight drops of bleach into one gallon of water and now I have disinfected water for after a hurricane. Now, the cool thing. Your generator will make hydrogen. 🤔 Perhaps a large dirigible? Cool device Paul, thanks for the video.

[@frankowalker4662]

That's not a bad result.

[@caseykelso1]

1:41 what the hell is floating around in your water

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

I didn’t even know this existed. I’ve used my old hydrogen cell juices, to clean my bench when I accidentally busted the Jar. I thought the world of Masons. Until I saw just how transparent they Are. Preserving My Ass. Ohh Squirrel....shit. Wrong video. Sry Nice Lil Video BTW. I Went To Left Field. 😂

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

Bad latency today. I need another coffee.

[@michaelpadovani9566]

someone can go into business making this on the side

[@gwddmt1]

It is making Hypochlorous acid HOCL And not Bleach NaClO look it up folks

[@learnelectronics]

OMG you found a mistake in a really old video. Congratulations. I award you 1 internet point, don't spend it all in one place.

[@andrewwilson6240]

I wonder if this works with raw water to make it potable, and also with biologically polluted water to make it safe to use a disinfectant? Teardown please 😎

[@perrycummings4848]

No it doesn't.

[@maciejfranciszek5550]

Chlorine comes from sodium chloride (table salt)

[@TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

It's not bleach

[@copisetic1104]

This is chlorine bleach! sodium hypochlorite is commonly known as chlorine bleach. It is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula NaOCl or NaClO, consisting of a sodium cation (Na+) and a hypochlorite anion (OCl- or ClO-). It may also be viewed as the sodium salt of hypochlorous acid1. Sodium hypochlorite is a solution made from reacting chlorine with a sodium hydroxide solution, also referred to as caustic23. Sodium hypochlorite is the oldest and still most important chlorine-based bleach1.
