Thu khí Hidro hoặc khí Oxi đơn giản bằng điện phân và đẩy nước

Collecting Hydrogen and Oxigen using only tap water, salt and two laptop charger

Take a Little Bowl

Step 1.png

Take a little plastic bowl and fill with salt solution

Take Two Big Screw

step 2.png

Using two big screw as electrode. One as Anode and one as Cathode

Prepair the Power Supply

step 3.png

The electric flows must be Direct Current (DC) remember, must be DC, AC current won't work. I use two 24v DC Adapter from computer charger connected in serial to gain the voltage to 48v with the current flow about 6 amps.

Make the Bubbler

step 4.png

Using water bottle

Collecting Hydrogen and Oxigen

step 5.png

The Electrode with more bubble is Hydrogen . Choose what you want to collect and then flip the bubbler over the electrode

Test

Đốt thử khí Hidro trong chai : NỔ

For Hydrogen: Using lighter to test. But remember : Pure Hydrogen is flamable, but Hydrogen with Oxigen is highly explosive, the amount of hydrogen and oxigen with the ratio of 2:1 in a big bottle can blow you up, so be careful
