Making a Simple Hydrogen Generator from Screw | make hho generator at home

In this video, I show how to make a super fast and simple hydrogen and oxygen generator. In this method, I use electricity to decompose oxygen and hydrogen in water. And we turn it into hho gas.
Note that you should use drain cleaner or salt to make the water conductive, but if you use salt, the color of the water will turn green due to metal oxidation, so it is better to use drain cleaner.

Curious have you tried closer spacing by chance? Of the screws for higher effeciency, and lower current draw.

[@amirreza6526gd]

I would give some advices for people who are going to make it: 1. Use Sodium hydroxide NaOH (it's easier to find, but does the job fine) 2. Use distilled water, to have a clear solution after it's been running for a long time 3. Used stainless steel wires (or glue them throughly to make the wires have no contact with solution) and use stainless steel electrodes (in here screw) (some of razors are stainless)

@@andybilakshow260 for the electroplating to happen the solution salt must be same as the electrode, when the salt is different I think the anode first releases it ions into the solution until it's saturated enough to start electroplating.

[@useyournous]

water and electricity are great at releasing hydrogen from electrolytes and metals. All of that original energy that went into making the steel released, wonderful.

[@kilroy2517]

Um, what? The hydrogen and oxygen are coming from the water being split. This is simple electrolysis. None of the energy that went into "making the steel" is being released. This is a net negative energy system - you're putting more energy into it to split the water then you'll get out of combusting the hydrogen that's produced. That's why we don't have ICE's that use water as fuel. The electrolytes you seem to think are yielding hydrogen contain no hydrogen (if you're using salt) and are simply there to transmit the electrical charge. Even if you're using drain cleaner, which is NaOH, those OH anions can't leave the solution because they balance the Na cations. With drain cleaner, the equations are: Cathode (reduction): 2 H2O(l) + 2e− → H2(g) + 2 OH−(aq) Anode (oxidation): 2 OH−(aq) → 1/2 O2(g) + H2O(l) + 2 e− Yielding: 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)

[@dragodv7735]

[@carlrooker]

Okay, this was an interesting video. Whatever you do, do not place the product gas into a large container. Both of the oxygen and the hydrogen are mixed there, and any tiny spark could cause a large and dangerous explosion.

Yes it works 9v, the more electrons the more H & O separated, so the speed only depends on amps, and a minimun of volts

Did this before, but it is stupid to collect the oxygen and hydrogen in the same bottle it is easy to seperate them.

That one bottle with them mixed is just a bomb.

[@jakastudioanimations6014]

you dont collect them in the same bottle, they both go in one first as you can see and in this bottle because oxygen is more dense it goes down and the hydrogene is going up to the next tube out then its pretty much pure

Yeah but due to inefficiencies the energy stored in the hydrogen gas is more expensive than it was as electrical energy.

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Not if the electricity came from a free source such as wind power. Couldn't that be a solution to the inconsistent nature of wind and the storage issues surrounding electricity. Maybe not effecient overall but free is free and some is better than none. I am no expert so I am just riffing on the idea, but the main problem I imagine is storing the hydrogen which surely requires compression.
