Exploding Water

How to, for only a few dollars, create hydrogen from water, salt and electricity. This is an experiment that produces explosive gases, involves electricity and water and a number of risks so please be careful. Not an experiment to be performed by idiots.

it's friggin electricity that's powering that. Just install an electric motor in your car and run it directly from a big battery that'll be more efficient than using the power from the battery (or worse: alternator) to first produce hydrogen to increase gas mileage for your inefficient combustion engine.

@deelkar If you check out the associated website, you will see that I say the exact same thing.

2:49 -" Its just water"... yeeeaaaaaah riiiiiight

[MikeReedKS]

@PezunaProducciones Water, some salt and DC current.

What would happen if you added dishing washing soap to form bigger bubbles?

[MikeReedKS]

@questioneverything2 There is no need, these tiny bubbles have plenty of bang. You wouldn't want much more.

@mrmkowals2 Current always follows the path of least resistance and both sides of the circuit are in the water in close proximity. Even if by chance you touched two cups and did become the path of least resistance, that path would flow through the part of you that was touching the cups. You'd have to put both hands in the water at the same time and touch two separate cups to even have a chance of the current flowing past your heart. No higher risk than jump starting a car.

@questioneverything2 I like that idea.

[MikeReedKS]

@NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000 It is lighter.

@JTGolden250 Judging from your artistic tutorial on how to draw, I would've never guessed that it came from the same person who left THAT kind of a comment. How very rude. I'm terribly offended. You have such a pleasant voice.

@stone412 Just cause someone's alot smarter and more creative than you doesnt mean that you need to be an asshole about it.
