It just makes the metal on the screw detach and go to the water.
a common use for this is chrome plating, or you could make silver water with this (you obviously need something silver instead of the screw, and the spring, and obviously no salt.
If you were to saturate the water with salt, and continue electrolysis, one electrode will collect sodium hydroxide, and the other will collect clorine
cool project, just like our predisessors learned without electricity chemistry would not exhist.
Yes this is not a cell. its not the point of it being just $2 but this is just producing Hydrogen. You can produce hydrogen in other cheap ways too. just put calcium cabonate in HCL.
Fuel cell uses hydrogen and brakes it to Proton and electron.
This is opposite of fuel cell. if it used hydrogen and produces electricity from it, then it is a fuel cell.
The corrosion is my biggest issue, I did this experiment years ago with aluminum and steel.
The metals decompose, adding to the product of the hydrogen. You're producing hydrogen oxygen and chlorine this way. my guess is that the oxygen is reacting with the metals, causing the corrosion, and releasing chlorine gas where the oxygen should have been produced, because of the salt (sodium ~Chloride~). If we could just filter the gunk off, we might have a usable product.
redox reaction not a fuel cell

that's not a fuel cell, that's a meth lab...lmao, just kidding, I'll give you $5 if you drink that.....lmao

This is not a hydrogen fuel cell , it is electrolosis( converting water to hydrogen+oxygen)

This is not a hydrogen fuel cell, please do your research

thanks for the vidio

you could just use Potassium hydroxide is just as good as salt and it wont cause Corrosion and you dont have to add any more it lasts forever

nope sure isnt a fuel cell what you have here is hydrogen production.go ahead fire it up next time.ya know just throw a match at it.LOL j/k

brilliant. i'll make a 2 dollar cell and feed it quarters! that will make me rich!

You should change this title of this video to "DIY $2.00 Hydrogen Generator for Fuel Cells" and I'll give a higher rating.

You could get more gas from urine. Really.
riftalope 2 years ago
I think it's that the hydrogen in urine is easier to pull apart...not so much that there's "more" hydrogen there.

Use baking soda or potash.

the corrosion is from the metal breaking down try stainless steel screw or bolts that should work

its $2.oo, what the hell do u expect.
lilthug1988 3 years ago
If you are going to call it a fuel cell then i would expect your device to produce water, heat, and electricity by combining oxygen and hydrogen.
Igotnogod 3 years ago
no its not, but you could call it a hydrogen generator, which is not bad for $2.00 I suppose
