A very unoriginal comment that has nothing to do with his content
Casually makes poisonous chlorine gas- "Idk what is happening" 🤣
Lmao I was about to say the same thing
@ElectroBOOM, take note of this, you don't want chlorine gas... It's deadly. Also, you were producing hydrogen and oxygen gas, which when combined are quite explosive in the presence of a flame or spark.🤣
@samuelreddekopp It probably dissolved some into copper hypochlorites (or even chlorates) at that point. You'd generally quite well notice/observe the *"smell"* of real/pure chlorine gas *_*long before*_* it would become a problem, that is (unless Mehdi _omitted_ some things here (and _didn't_ tell us some observations lol)). Funny enough, chlorine gas still smells like a pungent pool, even if your average/regular pool odor actually comes from "chloramines" and/or other "chlorinated byproducts" instead...
Excellent demonstration!!!!!

For a plastic or ceramic-coated bathtub, your glass container is probably an adequate comparison. I do wonder how metal pipes connected to the bathtub sink would impact the flow of electricity though. If you were close enough with your upper body to the live wires and touched the sink with your foot by accident, it might be dangerous as you are now grounded via the metal pipe and the current could flow through your body.
in one of the more recent videos, regarding the shocked in bathtub, and also the shower of doom, Mehdi addresses this fact

Electrochemical reaction occur at cathode and anode.
In which H+ reduce to H2 gas at cathode and Cl- get oxidise to Cl2 at anode.
actually copper acts as a cathode thats why copper is gone in the end
@@keremdiren8590 True, the copper in this case is a "sacrificial" cathode and does disintegrate but the electricity flowing through the brine solution does in fact create hydrogen and Cl2, essentially turning the container of water into a very very mild bleach. VERY mild.
Does this mean that he breathed in some Chlorine gas?
@@pacolibre5411 yes ,
Some amoumt of Cl2 has is released at anode depending on quantity of current .
@@keremdiren8590 well thats in case if we take copper sulphate solution instead of salt water solution.
Here it follows preferential electrolysis depending on reduction potential of element.
4:26 "the electricity is doing something in the water" has definitely become my favourite way to explain electrolysis.
@@joeljustin Sincerely I don't know but I suppose at high voltage, even if cathode and anode are always switching position, an amount of gases can be produced. Btw I was just kidding cuz he said that sentence lmao
@@joeljustin Then you have alternating electrolysis! It can be useful in some circumstances, like generating HHO. In this experiment the salt water turned dark from the electrolytic oxidation of the copper wiring. Basically, some combination of
Cu + H2O -> CuO + H2
Cu + 2H2O -> Cu(OH)2+H2
"this is getting violent"
@@gabrielemazzone2774 If he used graphite electrodes in water instead of copper wires then he would have made some chlorine gas and the room would smell like bleach.
Essentially, via
2H(+) + 2Cl(-) → Cl2(g) + H2(g)
With some of the chlorine gas re-dissolving back into the water and actually forming bleach, via
Cl2(g) + OH(-) → HOCl + Cl(-)
Mike Zelik this is a question for my science fair project:
Is there a way to perform electrolysis without getting the “dissolved metal effect” that is turning the water brown and if so, how can it be done?

I tried this, it went well. I'll give you the details when I'm out of the hospital.
I think some of the danger with Sinks and Tubs is that the drain may be grounded (if not PVC) so that may impact it. Also, I'm curious as to the conductance of things like soaps, bubble baths, etc. that might be in standing water in a bathroom.
I've also heard of people getting electrocuted from touching non-GFCI fixtures with a wet floor. It ended up that the wet floor had a grounded furnace vent in it. I guess the trick is to only use Pex/PVC in your bathrooms and always use GFCI.

5:42 what an exciting sound. We need a compilation of all this guys screams in all his videos put into a game or perhaps a song.
4:24 By the way, this is electrolysing the saltwater, producing hydrogen gas (explosive) and chlorine gas (extremely toxic, used to kill people in WW2). This is far more of a risk than electrocution in this scenario
so does that mean that if i fill a tub with saltwater and electrolyze it then get in it i’ll die and kill whoever enters the bathroom in a short period of time without them having to get in the water also?

3:59 using a metal spoon with live wires lol
I also thought wtf but then he plugged it in and I'm like oh ok
Seems like he didn't do a good job of explaining how electricity works since you missed the whole point of the video if you still thought the metal spoon in the water was dangerous. Electricity will always take the path of least resistance to ground so in this case the path of least resistance is the water between the two wires. The path to ground through the spoon and his body has much higher resistance than the water between the wires.

You're a riot as usual, keep it up. Can you test the energized water to a seperate neutral/ground ? To get a better measurement, mimicking someone grabbing the normally grounded water spout?
I can’t stand the intense beat in my heart every time he put his finger into the water
When you pass the current through the salt water, the bubbles are formed by electrolysis of water, creating hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). The yellow colour is caused by a buildup of chlorine (Cl2) in the solution from the electrolysis of the salt itself. The electrolysis of salt also creates sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the solution, which then dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide (OH-), turning the solution alkaline. *Put simply, that water is poisonous as fuck now*.
only DC. I believe AC only makes it boil. I'm not a chemist
so what your saying is that you can make a hydrogen gas generator just by running a power source in salty water?
Ludwig VonBallencrusher It would be easier in clean water, but yes.
Interesting
my thoughts are that the wires are being corroded during the electrolysis, causing the brown sludge that was floating about. it's kinda like those fake "electro detox" things.
"i was expecting it to zap me to death" - logical.
you always get electricity in your all videos, PERFECT
Excellent video
Here’s what happened when he put the two wires in the salt water:
Electrolysis occurred, the wire closest to him was the anode (positive electrode) and the wire furthest from him was the cathode (negative electrode).
Both wires were bubbling a lot, this is because the anode was giving off chlorine gas from the salt, and the cathode was giving off hydrogen gas from the water, and inside the solution there was sodium hydroxide forming (probably should have washed your fingers after sticking it in there)
The reason why the anode wire was completely destroyed was because the copper in it dissolved into the solution during electrolysis and reformed on the cathode where it was reduced, which could of been the reason (or one of them) for the brown-red colour in the solution
Cathode? Anode? Wasn't he using ac?
n millet yes but I think the anode and cathode keeps switching between electrodes (or the wires) as it is AC rather than DC
I think he knows dude, he is just being sarcastic funny
Thomas Just really?
@@thomasjust2663 you are missing the point
he’s like Coyote Peterson, but for electricians.
yes
@sgfhk321 Made me laugh ahahahahahha
he is not an electrician, he is an engineer
He is still alive despite all the experiments he has done in years. This is amazing!
I used to do a demonstration for high school chemistry students where I had a light bulb in a socket with a cord attached. One of the wires in the cord was cut so that I could stick the cut ends into water. So I would have tap water and the bulb wouldn't light. But salt water, it lit up, the closer you held the wires in the water would make the bulb brighter. What this shows is that salt is an ionic compound that dissolves as ions which are capable of conducting electricity. Water easily dissolves salts because water molecules are higher bipolar and able to pick up salt ions. We also tried dissolving sugar in water and the bulb did not light. This showed that sugar is not an ionic compound, that there is a different mechanism at work to dissolve sugar than to dissolve salt.

I know its 7 years later but for anyone wondering passing electricity through water splits it into Hydrogen and oxygen, this also severely corrodes the wires which is the discoloring of the water, its copper oxide.
The salt also gets split up into sodium and chloride, both of which are deadly (mainly chloride)

+Andrei Simionescu well maybe my video ended up being misleading. But if I feel electricity in my finger, a full body in water could die .

It would be nice if ElectroBOOM made videos about electricity safety around electric poles and stuff
A friend of mine works at a mining operation as an electrician. He said that they run pure water through machines as coolant and it passes through 3 phase (Australia - 720v) without a problem, but they have to change the water out once a week as it picks up minerals via electrolysis and becomes conductive. They run a meter on the pumps and must change it before it gets to a certain amount of resistance. He said even using tap water meets their spec but must be changed a lot sooner. Pretty interesting.

When the salt makes the water more conductive, the electric current passing through the water will cause some of the oxygen and hydrogen to separate out by electrolysis. If you used DC instead of AC, you could have collected those gases for use in other experiments.
Guys don't try this at home. If you do what this comment said you will also get chlorine gas as a byproduct. You could kill you entire family if your house is not well-ventilated.
What you’re seeing is called Electrolysis, the wires are anodes and cathodes where one is oxidising the molecules in the water and one is reducing the molecules in the water. For instance, sodium ions will be reduced to pure sodium and chloride ions oxidised to chlorine gas. There’ll be a mixture of different redox reactions happening at the electrodes. I’m a chemist but I haven’t visited this topic in a while so the exact reactions happening may differ depending on the composition of the water and voltage of the wires
that monobrow,man...that thing wins the internet every freakin time.
His life insurance company watching this priceless
This is insane. I always expected massive sparks mixing electricity with water. 12 y/o me once spliced a cord back together. No one told me that the hot a neutral lines were suppose to be separate. I hooked both of them together on both ends of the cord and plugged it in, causing a loud hum and darkness as if the lights had been shut off. It only lasted for that instant and there was no sparks or tripped breakers. It was a surprise to see that. Luckily everything still worked after the cord was corrected.

Actually, water is an insulator. It’s the minerals etc. in the water that will cause a shock. But if you had absolutely pure water with no minerals, you could drop a 10,000 V in there with your hand on the other side so long as there’s no arcing, and you would be safe
