    Little tidbits of science like this keep my mind from going rusty =)

    That is amazing and i wish you did more of these I would be so happy and much more intelligent!

      Thanks! I've been working on some new videos. Here is my most recent one. th-cam.com/video/mfDsJJVMXds/w-d-xo.html

    And would you say mixing the 2 gases in a 2/1 ratio would yield exciting results?

      I did it once! Filled a balloon 2/3 full with hydrogen and 1/3 with oxygen. Ignited it with a candle tied to a meter stick.💥Sadly, that was before my TH-cam days 😢

    Amazing video. I’ve been trying different set ups to achieve a electrolysis chamber for a while but I seem to never get it right.
    Maybe this will work 👍
    If you could help what ratio for baking soda to water did you use?

      You know, I honestly don't remember the exact concentration. I think I added about a teaspoon. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

    i have a basic setup, a Tupperware box but i have not test tubes, im thinking if using a sandwich bag to collect the clorine and hydrogen since i don't have a chemistry set. Im using zinc and copper and hot gluing them to the bottom of the box with a nine volt battery as shown. im just wondering if this procedure of mine will work or not and if you have any thing you might like to add.

      I'm not sure how you plan to use the bags, so not sure about that. You mentioned generating chlorine-please make sure to use an electrolyte such as NaHCO3 so you do not make chlorine. It's poisonous-very dangerous if you make it.

    I'm abit confused... Do you just stick the electrical wires upside down? Is it not connected to anything? Just floating around? Or is it connected to something??

    • @LabHamster

      You should see in the video that the two wires are connected to a 9V battery. The black wire is connected to the negative terminal and the white wire is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. You can see this clearly at the 00:21s point of the video.

    wait.. you added NaCl? then the anode will be chlorine gas..

    • @LabHamster
      @LabHamster  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      No, I used baking soda (NaCO3) since I didn't feel like generating poisonous gas! 🤣
