This video demonstrates how to make a Hydrogen balloon using water electrolysis. This method is very cheap & easy. But Sodium hydroxide is dangerous.

When I was a kid, I used town gas from the jet nozzle of my Mothers cooker, which was fifty percent hydrogen, made from retorted coal, and I put a small handful of magnesium swarf powder ( my uncle worked at SKF bearings on a lathe) and filled a balloon with the gas, after tying a piece of string soaked in potassium nitrate bought from the chemist shop, as a fuse, took it outside at night, and lit the fuse, and let the balloon go skywards, when the fuse reached the hydrogen, the balloon burst igniting the magnesium, and it was spectacular for my friends to watch. I was nine years old ,and that was in 1954. Happy Days !

Depending on where you live, if your tap water was chlorinated or you've put Sodium Chloride in it, electrolysis can cause chlorine gas to form! Using distilled water and baking soda will work just as well without unwanted side effects! And always make sure not to use stainless steel, which could create Hexavalent Chromium (carcinogenic) on the anode due to the oxidation.
@pyotrronaldo24685 жыл бұрын
The Chlorine produced is very small, and It will not be very lethal. If you plan on using a lot, it is a important safety precaution. if you are making a much smaller one, it will not be to bad.

I remember reading in my old physics books that FARADAY determined that 1 square inch of plate surface can efficiently distribute 0.54 amperes. It has also been determined that electrolysis of water is most efficient at 1.24 volts (Faraday says 1.24v, Brown says 1.48v, and Boyce says 2 to 3 volts). Through trial and error, I have concluded that we need closer to 2.0 volts we will not have problems with heat, as long as we distribute the amperage at no more than 0.54 amps per square inch of a plates surface. That is the key for efficiency. If you exceed the efficiency limit, you make more HHO gas, but you also make a lot more heat because the electrons do not have enough room to disperse; so they pile up in that area inside the gasket. When the electrons pile up, they create heat. The additional heat shortens the Run Time of the Cell; the water gets hot much sooner. It also shortens the life span of the metal plates. And another thing, Titanium does not make more gas than 316L Stainless Steel, using equal amperage, plate size, and configurations.

The quantity is very limited and it can take a long time (it takes 3 hours in the video to produce one bag of oxygen). However, the materials are readily available in most homes. If you do try, use distilled water (you can distill water at home from steam), or at least find a source with less chlorine. Use graphite for the electrodes. Graphite can be found in pencil lead. You can also use stainless steel (screws), but remember to dispose of the used electrodes immediately - they can be carcinogenic. Instead of sodium hydroxide (as shown in the video), you can use baking soda (not baking powder).

We did this experiment in high school. But, what I can't figure out is when the water molecule is broken, where does the oxygen molecule go in the hydrogen side and where does the hydrogen molecule go on the oxygen side. After my class, I went home and made the same setup, at least I thought. All of the bubbles went up into one test tube and the other test tube had almost no bubbles. The proportion should be two to one not a hundred to one like my experiment. So I assumed that the oxygen redesolved into the water and therefore the full test tube should be hydrogen. When I put a smouldering splint into the tube, there was a very loud and big explosion. Good thing for safety glasses. So ever since that day I cannot see how the hydrogen can go up one tube and leave the broken oxygen molecule invisible as it somehow migrates from one pole to the other. Can anyone help me understand this? C. Jeff Dyrek, Disabled Vet.

@Jeffrey Dyrek Jeffrey, it depends on the polarity. Both Oxygen and Hydrogen are NOT formed at BOTH electrodes. Oxygen is only formed on one side (at one electrode) and Hydrogen is only formed on the other side (other electrode). That is why if you look you will see that because the formula is H2O, twice as much Hydrogen is formed on the one side as Oxygen on the other side. If you duplicated the experiment at home and bubbles only formed at one electrode, then I can only guess that you did something wrong in setting up the experiment. Only Oxygen should form at one electrode and only Hydrogen should form at the other electrode. Also, the experiment should be set up such that the gas from one electrode can ONLY be collected in one place and the gas from the other electrode can ONLY be collected in a different place. If you haven't already you may want to watch some of the other water electrolysis videos on KZfaq (some that are set up with more professional equipment) as they might help you with understanding how both the creation/splitting and the collection of the Oxygen and Hydrogen happens. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I've been watching the HHO videos quite a bit, but they do the same thing that my home experiment did. Your letter did help since I need to look at electrolysis and not HHO generation. I will look at this subject specifically, thanks to your suggestion. Now I can look in the right direction. Thank you very much and have a nice day.

It's only identifying that I am a person too, when so many look at me and see that my house and everything is a wreck since I just can't do things like I should. So I do have a complex with that and the comments that I am subjected with on a regular basis when I'm no different than anyone else, except I can't do things. But, you are right, there is no relevance. Thank you very much for that comment. Jeff.

This is one of the best videos I've seen to make a simple collector....thanks very much for taking the time to make this video. Now will you please come and get that bag off my lawn? LOL

So what is the best material for electrolye the water? Copper for anode and aluminium for cathode?
