Cool video. I have a question, why pass the gases through water, why not directly attach the balloon to the T? Does the second electrolysis amplify the result by much?
ok - you have a few things incorrect.Hydrogen by itself is extremely explosive - remember the Hindenburg dirigible? You also need to have the correct balance between negative and positive plates so you can extract the right proportions of oxy and hydro. It took a long time to fill your balloon because the hydrogen molecules pass through plain latex balloons - a helium grade balloon will fill much faster, but the hydro still passes through quickly. I have used mylar balloons with great success.
@geo5734036 Hydrogen by itself does not support combustion. It is not explosive unless mixed with oxygen. Many of the "Hydrogen" generators people seem to be developing actually produce a mixture of both hydrogen and oxygen., this one does not. Evidence shows that the reason the Hindenburg caught on fire was because of the nature of its outer membrane's sustainability to static electricity. It was made by brushing layers of gelatine onto a sheet of cotton sandwiched between 2 layers of cotton.

12 volts at 5 amps seems to give the best durable production. Higher amperage will produce more hydrogen, but it will also boil your water faster too. Home current(110Volts a/c) will blow your circuit immediately in smaller generators.I made a generator from a gallon jug and still blew the circuit immediately.
You don't want to make pure hydrogen if you want an explosion which is powerful. I make probally near 100% hydrogen by using caustic soda, water and aluminium foil. Check my Homemade hydrogen video for more info.
I tired this method too. But making hydrogen by electrolysis is much safer and healthier. Using a caustic soloution (sodium hydroxide & water) with aluminum produces hydrogen and sodium aluminate. Sodium aluminate is toxic. It's fumes are harmful to breathe. It has been said that aluminates such as this can cause brain damage, including alzheimers disease among many other ailments. I want to be able to remember my name, and those I love as I age.
@davidtroub pure hydrogen wont burn in order for somthing to burn it needs oxygen. other wise its not burning dude your hydrogen is getting its oxygeb from some where
you need to build 2 separate generators, linked under the fluid levels by a tube. Put the positive lead in 1 generator and the negative in the other. Positive field produces oxygen, negative produces hydrogen
Thanks for the info you have a good setup going there You could store the hydrogen you got going on there as long as there is no oxygen mixed with it. Then when you have a big tank full you can hook it right up to the car and run it off just Hydrogen. Good luck with it all
1. The enormous flash of energy that was released from the explosion.
2. The flying sparks.
After the explosion, I noticed the balloon had blown into tiny pieces - almost shattered like glass. The biggest piece I could find was about about 1/2 inch in diameter. So, my guess would be that the sparks were tiny pieces of burning balloon.
stupid

I'm thinking about building a very large Hoffman Apparatus with 4" PVC pipe.
Do you know how much electricity (in watts, in volts, or amps) it takes to decompose a gallon of water in an hour?
Do you know how much electricity (in watts, in volts, or amps) it takes to decompose two gallons of water in an hour?

Two things amazed me about this clip:
1. The enormous flash of energy that was released from the explosion.
2. The flying sparks.
