This is a basic electrolyzer with separate chambers for hydrogen and oxygen. Notice how the red balloon is twice as big as the blue balloon. The anode is producing Oxygen and the cathode is producing hydrogen. When the balloon is full I will float it around my living room for fun. That's all this was for, just for fun.

I dumped a lot of Draino into this device to get it to produce. I think I may have a leak though because when it was not under pressure it produced quite a bit more volume. There are two plates each measures about 1.5" x 7" the tubes are about 11" long.

  • How the hell do you seperate the HHO???

  • The negative plate makes Hydrogen and the positive plate makes Oxygen. The bubbles go up the separate tubes.

  • should have just used salt

    not draino, also solar would be more efficient ... now we just need the cars to put it in

  • This is genius shit.

  • Then Seperate this Fucking Music to your Youtube video!!!

  • why do you use draino

  • Showing that I MUST SEPERATE THE MUSIC ....... nice nice MUSIC LOL !!!!!

  • Excellent video. Pretty darn cool stuff!

  • jaja,, sorry i messed up with my comment, , but i really don't think you are losing hydrogen,, i think that is because of the mass of both gases and the oxygen atom is bigger than the hydrogen atom by 15.87 times, now the structure each diatomic gas is different , the diatomic hydrogen has less volume than the diatomic oxygen. because of their geometry, so the oxygen occupies more volume than the hydrogen,, jaja!!!

  • jaja,, well, you got to consider the fact that if you decompose a molecule of water you cant, because all gases are diatomic, so, you got to have at least 2 molecules of water yo decompose them into gas, so doing that you are going to have 2 atoms of Oxygen and 4 of hydrogen, so the relation between the volume, no matter what the size of the atoms are will be of 1/2 , so there you go!!!!! that's why the oxygen balloon is smaller than the hydrogen, and also hydrogen goes always to negative pole!

  • WOW! So... simple..... Damn, kewl..... ;-/
