Here is the first video I am making of what happens if you put zinc and sulfuric acid(battery acid) together.

  • Haha i bought those same zinc pellets form the same guy on ebay

  • Water, This does work but it does not seem to make enough hydrogen to be useful. However the experence is excellent as we experment in this feild.

  • i did tests at work with muriatic acid and zinc powder, extremely unstable and dangerous, violent reactions. I don't recommend attempting. Though I've tried the zinc coated nails, good strong reactions, but short lived, both zinc and acid deplete. Stay Away.

  • Thanks for the comment. I have been expermenting with this as well and do not see that it will make hydrogen to use. But it has got us thinking in the right direction now.

  • can you please send me the link again where you found an old lamp from 1900s where the zinc was in a mesh basket and self regulated the hydrogen out to a platinum catalyst thanks

  • This is amazing. I submitted my idea for a sci project on running a car on water when I was 14 (I knew nothing about zinc at the time 16 years ago). My sci teacher laughed at me for the idea "understandably" because gas prices were not a problem and so I never entered... but the next day he put zinc in "water" showing me how it did the separation process more efficiently. It never made sense to me before but now I know he must of actually used sulfuric acid - thanks for the vid, take care!!!!

  • Excellent! After looking at your videos and some thorough research, I've been making my own hydrogen, and put it to use as a lamp. I actually used AlchemistShaman's ideas as well, 1982-present pennies. Turns out if you leave the copper coating on one side it reacts faster. Copper must be a catalyst.

    Oh, and don't use glass for a container. The sulfuric acid I used slowly started eating through it.

  • US pennies from the year 1982 onward are zinc inside. Score the edges with a file and the acid can contact. With sulfuric acid, more concentration is NOT better. Sulfuric acid needs water to attack metals. 20% sulfuric acid will attack metals much better than 98%

  • I manage a chemical plant that makes zinc sulfate,every week we disolve 7500lbs of zinc oxide,it would be very expensive to produce hydrogen in this manner

  • Thank you for the advice. I do need to figure out how much hydrogen a pellet makes. I am thinking that perhaps chemical reaction hydrogen might be used if a 12v system needs a little boost.

  • cant be safe if burned as a gas
