How To Make Your Own Battery?

[marcosvelarde83]

i come here searching "chemalloy", some morons said to me that this powder mixed with water turn the h2o in.. pure hydrogen?? meaning cheap fuel

[Ztuibyman]

@marcosvelarde83 Sorry, nothing like that here... you'd also need electricity. You can only get hydrogen from water if you react it with an active metal like lithium or sodium or potassium 2H2O + 2Li --> 2LiOH + H2

Doesn't look like how professor white did it.

[xmyccymx]

nice vid.

[Video85Man]

what kind of electrolytes are you using??

[Ztuibyman]

@Video85Man Plain sylvite and natron mixture solution

[megvagyimmartizenyol]

nice job, but you cant just go in a shop, and buy Electrolyzer, potassium chloride and sodium hydrocarbonate :D, but nice jub though :)

[Ztuibyman]

@megvagyimmartizenyol sodium hydrocarbonate is plain baking soda, so it's available to get almost everywhere. U can use sodium chloride (table salt) instead of potassium-Cl. And I made the electrolyzer by myself; I didn't buy it, so, everyone can make their own! Who said anything about shopping anyways..?

[megvagyimmartizenyol]

@Ztuibyman :D noone said, but how did u make the electrolyzer??? :D

[Ztuibyman]

@megvagyimmartizenyol Well, I used plexiglass pieces, two carbon rods, which you can get from zinc-carbon batteries (C-cells recommended) and some epoxy glue to put the pieces together. The design is totally free, as long as the two gases emitted from the electrodes are being separated. If you plan on making the electrolyzer I recommend first drawing the sides of the electrolyzer on paper in scale 1:1, so you can see what exactly you're gonna face up against and avoid faliure.

[megvagyimmartizenyol]

@Ztuibyman sure xD

[darksideofthebrick13]

this acts as if this shit is readily available.

[sethdowd]

@darksideofthebrick13

idiot

[dudeitslindsayyy]

0:29 is uranium! + its unstable! Thats illegal to use uranium rods! plz dont do that! You make an atomic bomb! on 1:38 is an annoying sound. lol

[Ztuibyman]

@dudeitslindsayyy Dude, these are plain carbon rods :D Where the hell would i get uranium from...?

[dudeitslindsayyy]

@Ztuibyman That was my little brother I swear! He is a 10 year old science geek! I gotta log out of my youtube more often. Gotta finish replying to all the comments I got on his lame responses lol.

[Ztuibyman]

@dudeitslindsayyy Oh, thats ok :D

[LiquidChem]

@Ztuibyman hahahahhahaha, right? if anyone needs some uranium electrodes I have a few laying around in my parts bin, just send me a message lol you can get them off ebay for like ten bucks free shipping i probably have a bunch of tantalum too if anyone needs it. stuffs cheap and easy to come by :D

[kropotof]

hi, my name is Andrei, i'm doing a science project for scholl, i d'like to get in touch with you, if that is ok, so that i can ask about some detail...

thanks for posting this video,

regards from PORTUGAL

PS. please respond

[Ztuibyman]

Sure, man, what can i do for you?

[kropotof]

well i woldn´t like to postmy e-mail here.. do you have a facebook or hi5??

question:

1-i have a elecrolyser at school we use it to take the hidrogen out of the water, its sort of round, and doesn.t have those tubes, it´s kind of a openned jar, will this work?

2- you have the voltimeter mesuring the voltage out from the water right?? the voltage that goes in is the same?? i gess it sould be but i'm ot 100% sure so i wanted to know

sorry for my bad english

thank you in advance

regards

[Ztuibyman]

Hi'ya

answers:

1) that kind of an electrolyzer will work, certainly, only that it will produce the mixture gas of hydrogen and oxygen, my version uses those two tubes to get pure gases, not mixture, I get the hydrogen from - electrode and oxygen from + electrode

2) Yes, at first the voltage is quite the same that went in. When i disconnect the power supply, it drops a few volts and then continues dropping, it works kinda like a supercapacitor.

Loading time is longer, though, than lasting time

[MichaeljacksonAFG]

Yeah the prince of a rechargeable battery in your phone forexample :D

first redox reaction(exotherm)

Than electrolyse (endotherm)

[onthecuttingedge2005]

hydrogen fuel cell battery.

[Ztuibyman]

basically.

[ibercaracole]

Bravo pour la pédagogie.

[Ztuibyman]

Merci.

[overunitydotcom]

You justcreated a simple supercapacitor.

You can also do this just with tablesaltwater

(NaCL). It must use 2 graphite rods.

You polarize the charged ions to go into the graphite layers.

Regards, Stefan.

[Ztuibyman]

yeah, i know, but i denoted, that if there are more different ions used, the effect of the voltage would last longer.This was actually basically designed as just a simple electrolyzer...

[skrellman]

How do i easily obtain potassium chloride?

[Ztuibyman]

well, u can buy it from any gardening store, it is sold as a potassium fertilizer, but of course it doesn't have to be potassium chloride, it can easily be sodium chloride, it does the same job, just potassium chloride gives electricity a little bit longer.

[Xxero0]

sodium chloride. sooooo, salt?

[Ztuibyman]

not sodium, potassium chloride instead, and yes, it is a salt too, but u wouldn't want to put this on your food 'cos it's very, very acrid.

[Xxero0]

oh. well, you could of just said table salt for sodium chloride. lol, =)

[yydb3george]

ay wey ke pido con tu comment and kool vid =p

[xLiisux]

heh , osav. :D
