@fogg1231 its possible that you make have used steel... id recommend that you try a different metal

[epheloobleck]

how long did you leave it running for?

[unix001]

@epheloobleck an hour or two

[epheloobleck]

@unix001 i left it running overnight and got less than half a teaspoon, can you use steel instead of iron?

[unix001]

@epheloobleck no, steel will not work because it has carbon in it so it wont be iron oxide, which is what you want. if its taking for ever i would suggest adding more salt, id say for about every cup of water add a abt 1/8 cup of salt. if you still having problems you may have low amperage. my battery charger in the video is running at 6amps. if you using a DC power supply that designed to charge something. ie a phone or laptop, then your amps are probaby no bigger that 0.8 which could be why.

@airborne101st45 something like that

Did you record this with your dick? lol

[samsonfellows]

This is so fucking dangerous, with the 4 amps of electricity, water, hydrogen and chlorine gas your just asking for a Darwin award lol

[MotionlessParadox]

ls -l "And chlorine can kiil you", gosh, it looks like your doing this inside your garage.

@unix001 ive got 4 amps and low carbon steel (0.5%) im surprised that even that much makes a difference,
