  • Instead of burning the hydrogen make it ...

    when you burn hydrogen in air there is not enough oxygen avaliable for complete combustion so all you get are flames. To make hydrogen explode you need 1 oxygen for every 2 Hydrogen atoms and guess what water is H2o (2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen). This means that if you collect both gasses in the same container and light it, it will explode. Just be carefull though and wear ear protection because if done right is extremely loud.

    • Thought about it

      I've considered doing that, and will experiment some day - but not in my basement with a hand-held thin plastic bottle. If you try it out, be sure to report. For good measure, having more O2 than the equation suggests would be a good idea.

    • did it

      use a large apple juice can (looks like a oversized soup can) and put 2 holes in the bottom (not too big) and one on the top. set up a electrolysis rig and put the hose with hydrogen in one of the holes in the bottom and just wait a while so that the can is PURE hydrogen take hose out light the top and wait (you hear hissing noise for a while then POP) you just made water lol

    • 5 stars!

      this is the best and the most easy method i have seen!

  • more creative way

    use it in a hydrogen fuel cell, create electricity

    By Puffin 1186043892
    • why?

      it cost more energy to make hydrogen and oxygen from water
      then it can deliver back to you trough a fuel cell..

    • Same reason as anything else

      Because we can.

      By Funditor 1186061071
    • or...

      release both the hydrogen and oxygen into the flame at once....

  • ahhh

    the music is so annoying, had to mute at first 10 secs

  • nice vid

    nice video, but you didnt mention how chlorine (a very poisenous gas) is generated along with the oxygen and hydrogen. The chlorine comes from the salt and will eventually corrode the copper wires =)

    • Well,

      You win some you lose some. I happened to not die.

      By Funditor 1186360132
  • What is...

    ...the voltage of the DC Converter battery pack? It would be better if we got he exact details of everything so that we could do it perfectly.

  • WARNING:

    DO NOT USE A METAL CONTAINER BECAUSE U MAY GET ELECTROCUTED. MAKE SAFETY FIRST. treat it like dynamite, make sure everyone is clear.

  • Yes

    They use this is water fueled cards. if you do this to your car it should work. but its much more complicated

    By Kepkaa 1186056076
  • Better

    Instead of collecting gases separately, collect them, it will much more explosives. Also, use Baking Soda instead of salt, as it won't produce chlorine gas, which is quite deadly. Thirdly, instead of using nails, which will also produce rust in the bottle, use something like graphite. You can get graphite from pencils, or if you have carbon batteries lying around. As long as none of the wire touches your water, and only the graphite, you will finish rust free!

  • for God's sake

    why every good video on the web have stupid, loud, agressive and crappy music?

    can we simply don't have any music?

  • I like the inverted bottle trick.

    It makes it easier to collect the gas! 5**
