Gallium/Aluminum alloy generating Hydrogen

i think this alloy breaks down the aluminium oxide barrier on aluminium metal that prevents it reacting with oxygen in air or water. the alloy gives the aluminium a chance to react with the water to produce an aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas.

C'mon, no experiment with hydrogen is awesome until you light it with a match...

Nice but so much for an on/off switch

couldnt we just make or try to use different plates used in electrolyzers out of these or similar metals or alloys?im sure not every combination of metal plates and metal alloy plates has been tried in electrolyzers,like when you make a battery out of a potato or anything really you use copper and zinc plates for the best result,maybe there is a certain combo of metal or alloy plates that could improve the efficiency of electrolyzers to a degree that we dont need fossil fuels anymore

Try magnesium and aluminum, cheaper,better, and use functinal water instead of water with an electrolyte you will have a slower seperation rate of the 2 metals and they are reuseable and when the two metals are forged together they act as an accelerant to produce hydrogen, good luck

What the hell are you talking about? AlOH isn't caustic at all, its used as a digestive aid you tool.
No, only two of the alkali metals sink, rubidium and cesium, if you think this is rubidium or cesium, you are a complete moron. Read the periodic table some time.
Since I know you don't have a basic grasp of chemistry, you'll probably say: "what about calcium and strontium?"
First of all, not alkali metals, second of all, they are dark and dull in appearance.

so what about the bi product?

@hkparker ahhh...i see...tnx
I cant say this is a new discovery to solve our oil dependency. Else we would be driving cars powered with water and any Alkali metal. As they all produce hydrogen when reacted with water. But we don't because id rather buy 10 gallons of gas, than 200 pounds of sodium.

Wrong....Using " Any Alkali " metal wouldn't work...It is to hard to capture the Hydrogen without ignition.

yaws
same old sodium + water experiment
he is just tricking us with a different name
LOOOL

Sodium doesn't sink....

I tried mixing Al and Hg. It doesn't mix!

You can't just mix it together. You have to let it set abit. It will fuse together if you will. It takes some time. Patience
