@Squidkid96 Thank you, ive been running on steam trying to build this youtube channel, all my saving have gone on the videos haha, but i promise its only gonna get better 😁
Something you did that I’ll definitely take advantage of, is use something other than hot glue or super glue and actually say what you used. Adhesive science should be way more common knowledge or maybe I’m just stupid
There isn't a better time to start than now 😁 Start small and build your knowledge and skills and proceed with caution. Murphy's law is the basis to my life, and so accurate 😂
They're really easy to build. There's just no practical use for it. If you try and burn hydrogen from it, you'll cause an explosion like I did. I don't recommend.
My advice is use two bubblers when I was young I made one and only had one it back fired through the single bubbler and went to the main jar which was a pickle jar with the lid hot glued to seal it and increase the pressure of the gas, it blew the hot glued lid straight off and I wasn't sure if my hearing would come back, it did but I learned a valuable lesson there lol.
I appreciate that you used RTV to prevent leaks, and that you even went back and let us know you added another metal washer to the mounts. You know your audience haha 👍🏽
It's crazy how 1 of the most EXPLOSIVE gasses, plus oxygen, when together as a gas form, create a anti-flame liquid when done right. edit: im stupid. i haven't done much chemestry yet in school so i don't know much. y'all thank's for correcting me :)
Water can't put up any kind of fire , It's just very good at cooling thinks down and isolating them from oxygen in the air (because it's liquid ) water has very strong bonds , so it won't react with oxygen , but burning nitrogen will create water vapor , so water can't burn (with oxygen ) , water can be product after burning
Had to show everyone the point of the safety device. I was confident it would work well because I pressure tested the whole unit before attempting something like that. Not having a bubbler could be really dangerous if some backflow was to occur as there is way more gas in the main generator.

you should put some medium-grade wire wool in the final pipe before the needle. this would have prevented a complete flashback to the bubbler. the air space above the water can be enough to cause an explosion, last thing you want is a glass bomb. Nice design, but risky being glass.
@lostforwar5619 correct that's the purpose of the bubbler. You're also supposed to have a flashback arrestor as a primary safety and the water in the bubbler as a secondary. if the flashback to the bubbler pushes enough water out of the way almost like it did in the video, it could ignite the hydrogen. if you Google flashback arrestor you'll see small inline devices that either have a membrane or a fine/medium wire wool being sold to prevent this. Edit: th-cam.com/video/JObaMblT8Bs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IZV-QjCBg-p6l5ko this is a spring-loaded flashback arrestor with multi stage safety.
Awesome project. Fix the bubbler intake hose! pleas.e Convert the glass jars to 4" PVC with clean out trap. Love the idea with the fender washers. Nice job.
It should prevent it but I haven't used one before, in the future when I build a dry cell I will definitely invest in one of those. Thanks for the compliments 😊
try combining compressed air with this it will make flame even hot along with control valve the compressed air make flame more attractive and it will concentrate flames to one point i hope you'll get my point anyway love your video ❣️
wacky, I would use a plastic or metal container as a safety measure due to the pressure that the explosion makes inside the small space. And you could put a diode after the converter so that if there is unwanted contact between the plates, the current does not return with that amperage and damage the batteries.
It was really difficult to find an appropriate container, just for video purposes i wanted it to be see through and all the plastic containers i found just wouldn't seal properly, i did look thick glass and it withheld the pressure of the explosion, but platic would have definitely been better. I plan to make a dry cell in the future so that'll be stainless steel plates with thick polycarbonate plastic and should be alot safer :)
Don’t do this at home as others have said yes because of toxic heavy metal water contamination from electrodes, but also because it is very dangerous to have the hydrogen oxygen mixed, as you can see by the fire flashing through the line. it would be safer to have separate lines for the positive and negative electrodes, so the hydrogen can be collected in a low oxygen, non explosive state
Just to be on the more extra safe side, I would add an extra bubbler. One bubler makes the risk of a catrostrophic explosion slim, but a second one will half that to half as slim.
Love this comment 😂 you made my day, I just want the zombie apocalypse to start now. I watched the whole of The Walking Dead series during covid lockdowns and that was my life, and i miss it.😂😁
Thank you 😁 pls use plastic for the container, the glass was just for visual effect and isn't safe. Also you can just compress normal air into a scooba tank and use it. 👌
does the length of the tube matter after the water filter procesS? i've seen short tubes to needle with a constant stream of flame instead of just explosions
How did you stop the tube from exploding the second time? Also, I expected to see more usefulness than melting plastic and solder. Looking for that uodate 👍
Very beautiful hydrogen torch/generator. I've actually been intending on building one at some point, I have some moonshine jars and stuff but nothing as elegant as you have, it gives me a steampunk vibe and i absolutely love it.
Thank you, happy you liked it 😁 if possible use plastic, it'll be safer, my lids were basically spring loaded so it would blast the seal open in case of an explosion instead of keeping it in and shattering the glass like a normal jar
This is a great build, seemingly quite powerful, and is almost giving me a Steampunk-ish vibe which I find really appealing, too. The video is quite informative as well, so well done! I do have a question, though, and that is; how would you go about separating the hydrogen and oxygen? I know I've seen devices in the past that would put a dividing wall between the cathodes and anode, and have a second exhaust from the separator jar, but I wonder if that's the most effective option?
Thank you for the support 😁, It is possible to separate the oxygen and hydrogen, but for most applications its fine to have them mixed, most people split the two only to join it back together later which is pointless. Hydrogen needs oxygen to burn, and it also burns hotter with pure oxygen than if you were to ignite hygrogen gas in normal air as the concentration of oxygen is much lower in the air we breathe
@jonialhonen1420 bruh i just watched his video and i dont see how the two are even similar theres no magical way of doing electrolysis, you cant reinvent the wheel. Strange how you start doing better for yourself and all these haters appear. Anyway.....
Thank you for the support, I believe hydrogen is the future for our world, just safety is a concern at the moment. I wouldn't really want a high pressure hydrogen tank in my car, however an on demand generator would make sense and would be much safer.

Not green. Sorry. The salt water remaining turns to lye. An alkaline that's created by ripping water molecules apart with electricity. Green means no bad side product to dispose of too
i and my friend made this for a project wihtout the bubbler, we lit it on fire, it blasted so hard it shook our school we did it 3 days ago and we are 14 years old
Thats was very dangerous, but I know how you felt, when I lit the water bottle full of HHO , the explosion was so massive, my eardrums started to ring. Next time il know to wear ear protection.😂

@@WackyInventions and i have a question, the bubbler stopped your flame from going to the generator, but the second time, nothing happened, it only made a nice torch with the flame... why?
@christoalphonsejoy2431 The First time i used a needle that was too big and there wasn't enough gas pressure to keep the flame from going into the tube so the flame continued burning until it hit the water. For smaller HHO generators you need a medical needle as the hole is much smaller, but you just cut off the sharp end and make the end of the needle round again by squeezing it gently with pliers. If you have any more questions il be happy to try help :D
@@WackyInventions thanks a lot, i actually understood a lot about this after i discovered your video, sorry to bother but one last question please.. if i win the giveaway, would u give me this generator along with the potassium hydroxide instead of a cash prize?, i like it a lot because it is the most minimalistic, small, clean, fast and easy looking generators i have seen so far, it also produces hho at nicely fast rate that it makes me want that generator over money
I am mainly self-taught. I started when I was young just playing around with electronics and working on cars with some help, ive always been trying to fix everything thats broken myself and learning how things work, over the years ive just gotten better and better. I think the best approach is a hands on approach, if you dont know something you can always google it or watch a video but there is no better way to learn than doing it yourself, just start with small simple things and build your knowledge and confidence.
I will be doing a 1000 Subscriber giveaway to 2 lucky people. There are 2x £20 worth of cash/gift card prizes in your country's chosen currency. The contest begins from the time this comment is posted up until the 1000 subscriber mark. Entry is FREE, all you have to do is subscribe and leave a Comment. Goodluck :D (Comments posted before this comment on this specific video have been automatically added to the prize draw) Winners will be sent an email to reply to which will have full instructions and how to claim their prize. Make sure you use an account where you can edit your comment as this will be used for verification. You will have 14 days from the date I contact the winners to respond and claim your prize. If a prize is unclaimed another person will be selected at random. This contest is in no shape or form associated with TH-cam, I am in full control and responsibility for the giveaway Entries for this giveaway have now closed, participants have been gathered, look out for the next give away
@christoalphonsejoy2431 So basically on TH-cam there is no official way to contact people so i will send the winners an email address where they can contact me on, then i will give them a code that they will need to add into their comment by editing it and that way i will know that i have the correct person, from there i will keep contacting the person through the email.
@christoalphonsejoy2431 That I haven't decided yet, but it will most probably be on a random generator The odds are quite high as there are two prizes equal in value and not many participants. The more views and subscribers I get the higher the prizes will become. :)

Thank you, glad you liked it, the water almost never has to be replaced, because the hardware is all stainless steel so it doesn't rust. The level just drops after hours of use, so a little top up is all it takes, after a few top ups id just replace the water to ensure the concentration of the electrolyte is correct as i dont have a way to measure it. Also the nozzle is basically a surgical needle(very thin) and i cut the tip of it off so i dont stab myself and then made it round again with some pliers as it gets crushed when you try to cut it.
You should use a 90watt laptop charger as the power supply, you can put multiple in parallel. Then put it through a CC CV buck converter. It requires a fan. Nice design. Do not use 18650 cells without some kind of low voltage cutoff.
Just curious, but both positives and negatives are next to each other. Would it behave better/worse if the it was + - + - instead of + + - -? Just a thought, but if you happen to know...
5:59 - your mistake is that you had to connect it diagonally, then the current spreading area would be around each electrode, in your case it spreads in a straight line from the electrode (+) to the electrode (-). It is dangerous to play with 2HO gas; use a check valve.
Yeah bro i see that would have probably been better, the bubbler is a home made check valve 😁 the water acts like the barrier between the nozzle and the main generator
Well made video! Would it be feasible to plug this into an air intake of a car to increase mileage? Probably with throttle liked dynamic voltage control?!
Thank you for the compliment :)Yeah for a small engine a tube in the carburetor would be sufficient but for a car I think it would have to be more thought out, like maybe a high pressure injection system which you could time properly and avoid having your intake explode 😅
They don't care about high school chemistry, lol. Plus, they are already invested in and producing hydrogen ICE. I live next to a hydrogen fuel station and see the hydrogen toyotas all the time. This electrolysis project is a silly but dangerous science experiment, nothing more.
The water lasts for ages, mainly the needle burns up quicker than the water will run out, but i think its kinda dangerous, why not just use a soldering iron?
Thank you, definitely, haha. I was amazed because I record at 60fps, and this scene was only visible on 1 frame out of the whole 60 in a second as the gas burnt so quickly😂
Great video! Do you think this would run a 383cc gasoline generator ? If possible what sort of conversions would I need? Some sort of carb kit? Thanks!
I believe it should, i haven't worked exactly how to power an engine correctly, but I have plans to get an engine running soon. The problem is regulating the flow of gas when revving, but for a constant rpm application just a tube in the carb should do and then adjust the flow of gas.
a tip for the future if your looking to increase the amount of surface area you have thus increasing total output try etching your metal the goal if to make more nucleation sites for production of o2/hho
where did you get the glass containers? ive been trying to make a hho generator but it was to wacky and didnt seal correctly. perhaps the glass jar works better.
I done alot of searching myself, i couldn't find anything plastic which would have been safer, and there were jars that also had glass lids but drilling into a glass lid would have been challenging. Im not sure what country you live in but in the UK i went to a department store called B&M. I understand your frustration though, hope you manage to find what you need :)
@@WackyInventions thanks. ill try to find something that works better. The genator you made is awesome. Did you encounter some problems to make the flame at the end of the video?
@@andresmagana9184 There was just one problem, at first I used a needle that was too big and it resulted in the backfire, however using a medical needle and cutting the sharp tip off worked well. Also make sure there arent any leaks in your system as that might result in a back fire too.
Yeah, basically there was a small leak from the seal in the main generator so I cleaned it and reseated it, also the needle was too thick the first time so i changed it
So you have it running off 12v, low amperage... would this rig work with a solar panel with 12v/12ah emergency battery for backup? basically an "exit" sign?
It would run for sure, just not sure for how long, you need to check what the max constant amperage is of the battery, if its low then you would need to limit the current so the battery doesn't over heat
Yes definitely, another word for boost converter is a step up converter, the boost converter is only needed to control the current, so you could just forget the circuit boatd all together if you have a powerful power supply. I just checked and that converter has a max of 6amps, so you would get less hho and you would need to make sure the current doesn't exceed 6amps as the converter would overheat.
when i was young i made a hho generator myself just a lot bigger and i torched stuff. then 8:15 happened to me without a bubbler, pieces flying everywhere haha
Please, could you tell how long did it take (aprox) for the electrolites to get afected by corrosion? Having in mind that Steel used was nothing but the provided on any hardware store. Just want to learn :-)
I used Stainless steel so it was completely unaffected, because Stainless steel does not rust, however if you used normal steel you'd probably start seeing rust after the first day of use
@@WackyInventions thanks but there seems to be many types of Stainless Steel as many other HHO videos insist that 316L is the best for this device. They say others will rust (despite the contradiction you mark, that if It is stainless...then it should not rust).
@Guindasman yeah, ive heard about all those things, a budget friendly option would be to get old kitchen items, eg maybe an old stainless steel sink, stainless steel bowls or cooking splash backs, cooking stainless steel has one of the highest corrosion resistace level for the price(usually 304/304L). As you know rust would be bad if it went in our food, so it has to be high grade.
Unless you're making a unit thats going to run for hours a day for many days. For a home project or science experiment, i wouldn't be too worried about what type of stainless steel you use it will still have corrosion resistance compared to steel.
Butuhnya itu hidrogen setara motor mobil alat berat kapal bisa berjalan stabil...kira kira pengubah air menjadi hidrogen butuh ruang engine serta ruang bahan bakar seberapa luas...???
I was thinking could you use Peltier Modules and use the heat from the flame to generate a voltage and use that to charge the batteries to make a closed loop. I have been going over this in my head an its well possible. Obviously you would need a bank of Peltier modules over a burner of some kind.
Hi, Thank you 😊, the main concern is having enough gas produced and enough pressure, if you have leaks in your system it will back fire and also you need a very small needle to stop it back firing, the back fire happened in the video with a thick needle and i had a leak from the big seal in the main generator.
Hi, I'm trying to get the flame on the syringe needle like you did, what adjustment did you make to prevent the flame from travelling up the tube like it did the first time? Great job by the way. 2012
Thank you :) so basically first thing is to make sure there are no leaks in your system, a leak can cause a drop in pressure coming out the needle, and also the first time i used a thick needle and it resulted in a back fire, you need thin one, a surgical needle is the best i believe,like the ones you get injections with, but you just cut the sharp point off and use pliers to make the hole round again at the end as it gets squashed when you cut it. Feel free to ask more questions, i will do my best to help 😊 also make sure the water is filled as high as possible so even if there is a back fire there will be less gas to combust in the event of an accident
Great, thanks so much for the quick reply. You really put a lot of work into this channel, I honestly didn't expect a reply so soon, it means a lot. I'll be sure to let you know if any more questions arise. Best regards. @@WackyInventions
@farrukhawana.r.a.q9194 At that current it can run for long and the hho cell wont get hot, only the batteries dont last long before needing to recharge, but if you use a 12v power supply instead of batteries, it could run it for ages. The four electrodes are just to maximise the area, its like having 2 long electrodes but then cutting them in half and connecting it with wire. The boost converter was just used to control the current if you had powerful batteries or a power supply the boost converter wouldn't be needed, it was just so the batteries didn't over heat because the cell wanted more than 8 amps of current, but the batteries could only handle 8amps. Now i had 18650 cells that can handle 20amps continuous :)
1: I would have connected them diagonally instead of in parallel. 2: I would have wrapped the supply wires clockwise, the same direction the nuts tighten
Also I would like to let you know that you've been entered into a 1000 subscriber prize draw, if you read my pinned comment you will see the full instructions on this video. Goodluck :D
This seems like it'd make an awesome metal forge/melter, that you can run on renewable energy, doesn't take a ludicrous amount of amperage on your home circuits, and gets wicked hot while leaving no harmful pollutants. I always figured that since getting rid of my gas forge a long time ago I had wanted something that could be more "green" since I have hated fossil fuel since well before Greta Thunberg ... The only thing I'd wonder about is how can you can separate the O2 and H2 properly so that your storage tank is not quite so much of a huge bomb (i.e. have 2 separate tanks, that then mix in the burner assembly on the forge)?
As far as my imagination goes there are two main ways I can think of this being possible. One would be to make a really powerful on demand cell, so you wouldn't need to store any gas. This would probably be the safest, but you would definitely need to build a dry cell as they are more efficient and produce more gas. The other way would be like you mentioned to store it, if you build some sort of compressor and compressed it into a proper gas cylinder (e.g. like an oxygen or acetylene tank) either separately or together, but together would be easier as its difficult to make a dry hydrogen cell that separates the gas. Either way the oxygen to hydrogen ratio is perfect in hho so that shouldn't be an issue. I guess that storing it this way would be safe too with the correct fittings and fail safes , e.g. proper one way flow valves and appropriate nozzles.
@WackyInventions Storing it that way would be safe unless you had a house fire, then it turns into the B-word. Separating the two would be pretty damn difficult though.
The nozzle is just a surgical needle (ones you get injections with) and i cut the tip off with some pliers so that i didn't poke myself by accident and made it round again with some pliers and the best way to reduce flash back is to have a one way valve. Also you need to make sure there are no leaks in the system as weak pressure can cause the flame to travel up the tube.

Thank you, happy you liked it 😁 if possible use plastic, it'll be safer, my lids were basically spring loaded so it would blast the seal open in case of an explosion instead of keeping it in and shattering the glass like a normal jar
awesome, now the next matter, increase volume produced gas and oxidation of your electrodes
This is a great build, seemingly quite powerful, and is almost giving me a Steampunk-ish vibe which I find really appealing, too. The video is quite informative as well, so well done!
I do have a question, though, and that is; how would you go about separating the hydrogen and oxygen? I know I've seen devices in the past that would put a dividing wall between the cathodes and anode, and have a second exhaust from the separator jar, but I wonder if that's the most effective option?
This guy have copied Nighthawkinlight video. The style and the generator. Nothing innovative here
Thank you for the support 😁, It is possible to separate the oxygen and hydrogen, but for most applications its fine to have them mixed, most people split the two only to join it back together later which is pointless. Hydrogen needs oxygen to burn, and it also burns hotter with pure oxygen than if you were to ignite hygrogen gas in normal air as the concentration of oxygen is much lower in the air we breathe
@jonialhonen1420 bruh i just watched his video and i dont see how the two are even similar theres no magical way of doing electrolysis, you cant reinvent the wheel. Strange how you start doing better for yourself and all these haters appear. Anyway.....
Amazing video! Very well-thought-out and makes for a perfect example of what green hydrogen can be!
Thank you for the support, I believe hydrogen is the future for our world, just safety is a concern at the moment. I wouldn't really want a high pressure hydrogen tank in my car, however an on demand generator would make sense and would be much safer.

@@WackyInventionsOh! Thank you very much!
Not green. Sorry. The salt water remaining turns to lye. An alkaline that's created by ripping water molecules apart with electricity. Green means no bad side product to dispose of too
i and my friend made this for a project wihtout the bubbler, we lit it on fire, it blasted so hard it shook our school
we did it 3 days ago and we are 14 years old
Thats was very dangerous, but I know how you felt, when I lit the water bottle full of HHO , the explosion was so massive, my eardrums started to ring. Next time il know to wear ear protection.😂
Also I would like to let you know that you've been entered into a 1000 subscriber prize draw, if you read my pinned comment you will see the full instructions on this video. Goodluck :D
@@WackyInventions and i have a question, the bubbler stopped your flame from going to the generator, but the second time, nothing happened, it only made a nice torch with the flame... why?
@christoalphonsejoy2431 The First time i used a needle that was too big and there wasn't enough gas pressure to keep the flame from going into the tube so the flame continued burning until it hit the water. For smaller HHO generators you need a medical needle as the hole is much smaller, but you just cut off the sharp end and make the end of the needle round again by squeezing it gently with pliers. If you have any more questions il be happy to try help :D
@@WackyInventions thanks a lot, i actually understood a lot about this after i discovered your video, sorry to bother but one last question please.. if i win the giveaway, would u give me this generator along with the potassium hydroxide instead of a cash prize?, i like it a lot because it is the most minimalistic, small, clean, fast and easy looking generators i have seen so far, it also produces hho at nicely fast rate that it makes me want that generator over money
I have to ask, how did you learn how to make this? This is amazing! Were you self taught? Do you have any books or courses you’d recommend?
I am mainly self-taught. I started when I was young just playing around with electronics and working on cars with some help, ive always been trying to fix everything thats broken myself and learning how things work, over the years ive just gotten better and better. I think the best approach is a hands on approach, if you dont know something you can always google it or watch a video but there is no better way to learn than doing it yourself, just start with small simple things and build your knowledge and confidence.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

That looks so cool! 2 questions though... how often does the water need replaced? And how did you make that nozzle for the torch?
Thank you, glad you liked it, the water almost never has to be replaced, because the hardware is all stainless steel so it doesn't rust. The level just drops after hours of use, so a little top up is all it takes, after a few top ups id just replace the water to ensure the concentration of the electrolyte is correct as i dont have a way to measure it. Also the nozzle is basically a surgical needle(very thin) and i cut the tip of it off so i dont stab myself and then made it round again with some pliers as it gets crushed when you try to cut it.
Thanks!!
I like the design. Nice work
Thank you, much appreciated 😁
You should use a 90watt laptop charger as the power supply, you can put multiple in parallel. Then put it through a CC CV buck converter. It requires a fan. Nice design. Do not use 18650 cells without some kind of low voltage cutoff.
This would be a cool science project ngl
Good luck it won't work 😂😂
Just curious, but both positives and negatives are next to each other. Would it behave better/worse if the it was + - + - instead of + + - -?
Just a thought, but if you happen to know...
If you sand the washers it will increase the surface area and make the generator even more efficient
Thanks for that, when i build another one i will definitely do that, makes sense 😁
Love the use of washers however I think a wide mouth jar and bigger washers will give you better surface area. Great job.
Thumbnail was actually real😅❤
No click bait on this channel 😂
Awesome build.
Thank you, I appreciate it alot 😁😊
this is amazing, i will be scaling this up am making a very normal tool not a weapon. (yes this is a joke i dont really wanna get hunted down)
Sir, you never saw this video
5:59 - your mistake is that you had to connect it diagonally, then the current spreading area would be around each electrode, in your case it spreads in a straight line from the electrode (+) to the electrode (-).
It is dangerous to play with 2HO gas; use a check valve.
Yeah bro i see that would have probably been better, the bubbler is a home made check valve 😁 the water acts like the barrier between the nozzle and the main generator
Bro you deserve more subscribers
Thank you bro, I will keep going and see where i end up 😁
Well made video! Would it be feasible to plug this into an air intake of a car to increase mileage? Probably with throttle liked dynamic voltage control?!
Saw your answer to similar question in another comment. Would love to see you explore the car idea further.
Thank you for the compliment :)Yeah for a small engine a tube in the carburetor would be sufficient but for a car I think it would have to be more thought out, like maybe a high pressure injection system which you could time properly and avoid having your intake explode 😅
Researched a bit more and apparently for the mileage to go down you also need to tweak the ECU to reduce the amount of petrol that is injected.
Oil companies: we will regard this channel woth great interest
They don't care about high school chemistry, lol. Plus, they are already invested in and producing hydrogen ICE. I live next to a hydrogen fuel station and see the hydrogen toyotas all the time.
This electrolysis project is a silly but dangerous science experiment, nothing more.
Instead of washers and nuts, you could do stainless steel wool, which would be more effective and so much less work.
How long does that flame last for before you need to refill it.
Kinda thinking of using this for a solder machine. Do you think that’s a good idea ?
The water lasts for ages, mainly the needle burns up quicker than the water will run out, but i think its kinda dangerous, why not just use a soldering iron?
Dude EXCELLENT song choice, I was able to stay hooked on it the entire time. I think you just made me discover a new way to pay attention 💀
Is this electrical or chemical engineering ?
Wow. I would use that gas for wedging aluminum for example if that works
Great build
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
do you have a material list with amazon links?
Хорошая штука, в хозяйстве прегодится!
Accidentally the best thumbnail made😅
Thank you, definitely, haha. I was amazed because I record at 60fps, and this scene was only visible on 1 frame out of the whole 60 in a second as the gas burnt so quickly😂
Great video! Do you think this would run a 383cc gasoline generator ? If possible what sort of conversions would I need? Some sort of carb kit? Thanks!
I believe it should, i haven't worked exactly how to power an engine correctly, but I have plans to get an engine running soon. The problem is regulating the flow of gas when revving, but for a constant rpm application just a tube in the carb should do and then adjust the flow of gas.
Not even remotely.
@@WackyInventions Then you failed basic chemistry. Not enough output with the amount of energy required for electrolysis.
a tip for the future if your looking to increase the amount of surface area you have thus increasing total output try etching your metal the goal if to make more nucleation sites for production of o2/hho
could make some small design changes so that it's easy to replace the electrodes when it's rusted and no longer performs.
where did you get the glass containers? ive been trying to make a hho generator but it was to wacky and didnt seal correctly. perhaps the glass jar works better.
I done alot of searching myself, i couldn't find anything plastic which would have been safer, and there were jars that also had glass lids but drilling into a glass lid would have been challenging. Im not sure what country you live in but in the UK i went to a department store called B&M. I understand your frustration though, hope you manage to find what you need :)
Online is difficult too, best thing is to go to stores that sell home and kitchen items in your country and browse the food storage containers
@@WackyInventions thanks. ill try to find something that works better. The genator you made is awesome. Did you encounter some problems to make the flame at the end of the video?
@@andresmagana9184 There was just one problem, at first I used a needle that was too big and it resulted in the backfire, however using a medical needle and cutting the sharp tip off worked well. Also make sure there arent any leaks in your system as that might result in a back fire too.
A mason jar would work well, the ones with metal caps. It might be a bit harder to seal properly though.
So when you had feedback into the bubbler after lighting, was this due to a lack of pressure from the generator?
Yeah, basically there was a small leak from the seal in the main generator so I cleaned it and reseated it, also the needle was too thick the first time so i changed it
What's the tip you use for the tube where you light it?
Would love to build this my self, do you have a parts list? I don’t really want to hunt down every single thing I need. Also how much did it cost?
don't do it, extremely dangerous and it produces toxic fumes.
It’s better than Mr. Indian hacker Oh yeah, by the way, I love your videos, wacky invention❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you bro, you're very kind 😊😊😊 im glad you like my videos 😁
So you have it running off 12v, low amperage... would this rig work with a solar panel with 12v/12ah emergency battery for backup? basically an "exit" sign?
It would run for sure, just not sure for how long, you need to check what the max constant amperage is of the battery, if its low then you would need to limit the current so the battery doesn't over heat
Can this at a large enough scale melt marble or granite or any other type of rock?
Bravo super job
would something like a JacobsParts FP5139 work in place of the 100w boost converter you used?
Yes definitely, another word for boost converter is a step up converter, the boost converter is only needed to control the current, so you could just forget the circuit boatd all together if you have a powerful power supply. I just checked and that converter has a max of 6amps, so you would get less hho and you would need to make sure the current doesn't exceed 6amps as the converter would overheat.
The simplest flashback arrestor is a cigarette filter which fits tight in the hose
How long till it stops making hydrogen? Or does it last forever
I've watched Christopher Dunn (the engineer, not the other one) do this a few times on Ancient Aliens on The History Channel.
Excellent.!
Glad you like it!
Ottimo lavoro!
when i was young i made a hho generator myself just a lot bigger and i torched stuff. then 8:15 happened to me without a bubbler, pieces flying everywhere haha
That flame is HALF the temperature OF THE SUN.
70% of the sun is Hydrogen 😁 but that burns at around 15 million degrees celcius at the core and 5500 degrees celcius at the surface
@@WackyInventions Ahhh... still Hotter than hell. xD
Please, could you tell how long did it take (aprox) for the electrolites to get afected by corrosion? Having in mind that Steel used was nothing but the provided on any hardware store. Just want to learn :-)
I used Stainless steel so it was completely unaffected, because Stainless steel does not rust, however if you used normal steel you'd probably start seeing rust after the first day of use
@@WackyInventions thanks but there seems to be many types of Stainless Steel as many other HHO videos insist that 316L is the best for this device. They say others will rust (despite the contradiction you mark, that if It is stainless...then it should not rust).
@Guindasman yeah, ive heard about all those things, a budget friendly option would be to get old kitchen items, eg maybe an old stainless steel sink, stainless steel bowls or cooking splash backs, cooking stainless steel has one of the highest corrosion resistace level for the price(usually 304/304L). As you know rust would be bad if it went in our food, so it has to be high grade.
Unless you're making a unit thats going to run for hours a day for many days. For a home project or science experiment, i wouldn't be too worried about what type of stainless steel you use it will still have corrosion resistance compared to steel.
Imagine "makeitreal" makes their lightsaber with this gas instead of propane
Butuhnya itu hidrogen setara motor mobil alat berat kapal bisa berjalan stabil...kira kira pengubah air menjadi hidrogen butuh ruang engine serta ruang bahan bakar seberapa luas...???
I was thinking could you use Peltier Modules and use the heat from the flame to generate a voltage and use that to charge the batteries to make a closed loop. I have been going over this in my head an its well possible. Obviously you would need a bank of Peltier modules over a burner of some kind.
I don't think it would work, the peltier are super inefficient and most of the energy would be lost.
Hello nice project,
But i have a one doubt, you can see there is a backfire occurs, what is the solution , how you are getting exact flame there
Hi, Thank you 😊, the main concern is having enough gas produced and enough pressure, if you have leaks in your system it will back fire and also you need a very small needle to stop it back firing, the back fire happened in the video with a thick needle and i had a leak from the big seal in the main generator.
Hi, I'm trying to get the flame on the syringe needle like you did, what adjustment did you make to prevent the flame from travelling up the tube like it did the first time? Great job by the way. 2012
Thank you :) so basically first thing is to make sure there are no leaks in your system, a leak can cause a drop in pressure coming out the needle, and also the first time i used a thick needle and it resulted in a back fire, you need thin one, a surgical needle is the best i believe,like the ones you get injections with, but you just cut the sharp point off and use pliers to make the hole round again at the end as it gets squashed when you cut it. Feel free to ask more questions, i will do my best to help 😊 also make sure the water is filled as high as possible so even if there is a back fire there will be less gas to combust in the event of an accident
Great, thanks so much for the quick reply. You really put a lot of work into this channel, I honestly didn't expect a reply so soon, it means a lot. I'll be sure to let you know if any more questions arise. Best regards. @@WackyInventions
@suheladesilva2933 Thank you , it means alot 😁
Sir tou used 4 electrodes, and boost converter too,can you run it for long time or i think it will hot your hho generator in one hour ,
@farrukhawana.r.a.q9194 At that current it can run for long and the hho cell wont get hot, only the batteries dont last long before needing to recharge, but if you use a 12v power supply instead of batteries, it could run it for ages. The four electrodes are just to maximise the area, its like having 2 long electrodes but then cutting them in half and connecting it with wire. The boost converter was just used to control the current if you had powerful batteries or a power supply the boost converter wouldn't be needed, it was just so the batteries didn't over heat because the cell wanted more than 8 amps of current, but the batteries could only handle 8amps. Now i had 18650 cells that can handle 20amps continuous :)
Caustic soda= sodium hydroxide, you can technically use any electrolyte, but things like baking soda will work best
Bro said hexavalent chromium wasn't enough and decided he needed some zinc oxide too
1: I would have connected them diagonally instead of in parallel.
2: I would have wrapped the supply wires clockwise, the same direction the nuts tighten
does it take more energy to produce than it creates? seems to me a perfectly viable renewable energy if the implant is stable.
your answer to that is always yes. it takes significantly more energy to produce than it creates
Yes, and so much so that there is no application for such a device. It's a cool one-time use science experiment.
lol this was my favorite thing to do in middle school
you would probably see an efficiency increase if you paired the electrodes diagonally instead of side by side
Thats a fair point, I didn't think of that before. I love marginal gains 😅 Thanks
Also I would like to let you know that you've been entered into a 1000 subscriber prize draw, if you read my pinned comment you will see the full instructions on this video. Goodluck :D
whaey good idea ❤
This seems like it'd make an awesome metal forge/melter, that you can run on renewable energy, doesn't take a ludicrous amount of amperage on your home circuits, and gets wicked hot while leaving no harmful pollutants. I always figured that since getting rid of my gas forge a long time ago I had wanted something that could be more "green" since I have hated fossil fuel since well before Greta Thunberg ... The only thing I'd wonder about is how can you can separate the O2 and H2 properly so that your storage tank is not quite so much of a huge bomb (i.e. have 2 separate tanks, that then mix in the burner assembly on the forge)?
As far as my imagination goes there are two main ways I can think of this being possible. One would be to make a really powerful on demand cell, so you wouldn't need to store any gas. This would probably be the safest, but you would definitely need to build a dry cell as they are more efficient and produce more gas. The other way would be like you mentioned to store it, if you build some sort of compressor and compressed it into a proper gas cylinder (e.g. like an oxygen or acetylene tank) either separately or together, but together would be easier as its difficult to make a dry hydrogen cell that separates the gas. Either way the oxygen to hydrogen ratio is perfect in hho so that shouldn't be an issue. I guess that storing it this way would be safe too with the correct fittings and fail safes , e.g. proper one way flow valves and appropriate nozzles.
But its definitely a very interesting topic, I haven't thought of a use for HHO like that 😁
@WackyInventions Storing it that way would be safe unless you had a house fire, then it turns into the B-word. Separating the two would be pretty damn difficult though.
What s type glass is using in video? Its normal glass or specially addapted glass?
"specially addapted glass"
lmfao. Stay in school, kiddo.
What cutting wheels did you use for your dremal?
I bought some on amazon, they're 22mm in diameter (resin-aluminium oxide) and the brand was silverline, they're quite inexpensive but do the job
I heard about some frequencies, on wather, you should put to become much more HHO with low Energie you use to make run HHO!
Can you post full materials and maybe links
❤ to the bubbler, our favorite character
Haha, He is the main character 😂 small but mighty
This is cool but remember this is Brown's gas, VERY DANGEROUS. May just wanna consider splitting each element to it's own area.
How did you make the nozzle for the flame? Does it need to be anything special to create a small flame like that withought flashback?
The nozzle is just a surgical needle (ones you get injections with) and i cut the tip off with some pliers so that i didn't poke myself by accident and made it round again with some pliers and the best way to reduce flash back is to have a one way valve. Also you need to make sure there are no leaks in the system as weak pressure can cause the flame to travel up the tube.
Do you think a 0.4 mm 3d printer nozzle will work to create the high pressure needed?@@WackyInventions
You can use a car battery that only has rain water hook up dc welder makes good boil
Seems like it might be less explosive to collect hydrogen from one side(+/-?) of terminals, perhaps maybe…
Is this system separate O2 , H2 ?
It was nice knowing you bro
You too bro, you definitely did not give me this idea and record the video for me
Haha jk (this person is not associated with me, come find me)
Very good project
Thank you, I really appreciate it 😊😁
