Water into Hydrogen - Making a Simple Hydrogen Generator from old battery - hho
In this video, I will show you how to use old batteries to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen or generate HHO gas. In this video, I separate the water molecules, which are hydrogen and oxygen, by electrolyzing water, and use the produced gas.
Note that you can also use potassium hydroxide powder or drain cleaner or salt to conduct water. But if you use salt, the color of the water will turn green or brown due to the production of hydroxide ions. Also, the efficiency of the drain cleaner solution is higher.

My advice, that little torch bottle make sure it's plastic, cause when that blows up and it will , you don't want pieces of glass shooting out like a granade. Best practice is to put a check valve in front line protection , then a the bubbler . The purpose of of the bubbler is to take the explosion , so it saves the cell . The purpose of a check valve is to save the bubbler and you ...
thank you bill nye 👍 but fr though yall take this guys advice
my advice, dont use grenade instead of the plastic bottle…
If this is true why aren't car's powered by it it's so simple clean and efficient and no need for dirty fuel's at nearly zero cost compared to oil based fuel
@@johnmcilveen6052most likely because the power taken to produce the gas is bigger than the one you get from it.
@@johnmcilveen6052if you have the electricity to produce hydrogen just use it to move your car
My son and I built a hydrogen generator similar to this one, but not quite as complex, many years ago for his science project at school. We used glass tubing and a variable power source that changed the amount of hydrogen we produced. Were able to produce a small flame out from the discharge tube (never thought about making the rockets as shown here!). He won a first prize, but school made him take the project home, right away! We still have the parts; that was some 15 years ago! Thanks for the memories 😊!
Love all these advice comments! Good to see and know there’s so many creative and intelligent folks out there.
In fact, there are 99% couch experts in the comments. Lol
i built myself a hho generator with the stainless steel plates back when i was young. powered it with a lab power source at 24V and 15 amps, worked really well. i had it outside to test and torch some stuff, but didn't have a "bubbler" installed, so the flame went back into the tubing and i got a hell of a loud bang. shrapnel flew everywhere, so please if you wanna torch stuff with it, be safe and build your own bubbler aka flashback safe😂
Now I know why I got "Satan's guide to Bible" as a video recommendation. Time to learn what a "bubbler" is. Stay safe XD
@@madeinresitasometimeago3970What?
Just a tip, if you separate the cathodes and the anodes and have separate collection reservoirs above each, you would be able to collect the hydrogen and oxygen separately. Just a tip 😘 Also you need to make sure you use distilled or as pure water as possible, read on to find out why. Although pure water is not conductive to electricity, any contaminant will do, a rock or pebble, even the anodes and cathodes themselves. I don't think you necessarily need the potassium salt and you definitely don't want any Sodium salt to be in the water you're using. Reason being if Sodium salts are present you will end up with chlorine gas, which is toxic. BTW this is exactly how Saltwater pools chlorinate water, the water flows from the filter to a device with electrified plates which split the salt in the water realising chlorine gas which dissolves into the water and essentially evaporates out over time. Because it exists as a gas other things called chlorine stabilisers or "sunscreen" are added and hold on to the chlorine weakly and release it slowly in the water.
Just some safety concerns 1. Don't touch the electrode from this old battery without gloves. 2. Defenetly don't use salt you end up with chlorine gas and this is toxic. 3. U shouldn't catch hydrogen and oxygen in the same volume, that's a very dangerous idea. It needs only 19 milli Joule to ignite the detonating gas ("hho") that means the static electricity from your clothe can be enough to blow your hands away. Better learn how electrolyzer really work and build it in the right way, not this self-destruction mechanism 😉
This is what great research is about! Nice remarks
Надеюсь многие прочитают ваше сообщение и не будут повторять эксперимент из видео. И да, если уже собирать, то отдельно водород и кислород и да использовать кислоту, а не соль.
This is also one way that submarines can supplement their oxygen for extended stays underwater, electrolysing *pure* water to get the oxygen, but this is not practical for long when you only have a limited supply of pure water when surrounded by so much salt water, because it also takes alot of energy and time to filter/purify salt water, whether it's by boiling and condensing(distilling) or reverse osmosis (direct filtering). The other way is by "burning" what are called candles, which is very counter-intuitive because normal candles burn oxygen, but these "candles" give off oxygen. Although, adding more oxygen is pointless if you don't have a way to remove waste gases. Filtering is usually done by passing the air through filters which capture the carbon dioxide by reacting with it to produce less harmful substances. For example air can be filtered through calcium hydroxide which removes the carbon dioxide by reacting with it to produce calcium carbonate(chalk) and water. I love how it all comes down to chemistry and how the products of water electrolysis can be burnt and they produce exactly that from which they came, water. Even in the previously mentioned pools, saltwater pools slowly become more alkaline or basic from the chlorinator. As the water becomes more basic, an acid is added to correct the levels, and what's actually happening chemically is the Sodium hydroxides produced from chlorination react with the acid (which is usually hydrochloric acid, containing chlorine) and the products are just Salt and water, which can be used by the system all over again. *Salts and dissolved substances don't disappear with the water when it evaporates* Just saying, just in case 😅 (seen some pools almost as salty as the ocean 🤣)
@TheUwolus I suppose you don't want any kind of metallic salts. Salts are a union between elements that on their own are very volatile or toxic. E.g Sodium Chloride, Iron sulfate, Potassium chloride, copper chloride, Potassium nitrates.
Glad to see you used potassium hydroxide. The danger with salt (sodium chloride) is that you produce chlorine gas as well.
That's why you use distilled water for this experiment and not tap water as shown

Nicely Done!! Funny story: 30ish years ago, my literal-genius neighbor/buddy invited me over to check out his latest project.. Down in his basement, he had [5] 5-gallon buckets of water, capped w/ 50 gal garbage bags.. Each bucket had hydrogen extracting setups - all different to compare their efficiency, w/ [2] 12v car bats powering. We checked them for progress and finally all bags filled up completely.. Success! Annnd then - Stupid kids antics came into play.. We ran a model rocket ignition setup to ea of the 5 bags and ran the line up the stairs & around the corner.. Quick mental image: Old Italian house - dirt basement floor - TONS of spiderwebs, dust, etc.. 3...2...1... Fire In The Hole! hahaha ***WOOSH*** . . . The entire basement Flashed w/ a hot explosive fireball.. It flamed up the stairs and into the room we where in.. [Luckily we didn't blow up the house lol] After rubbing our hair/skin, we went down to observe the aftermath.. Zero spider webs! Best way to eliminate those! hahaha Everything was good to go except for a few burned/melted bags. Eeesh.. Never a dull moment. =D
OMG thats hilarious!

@@BabylonPatrol I'm really surpised we still don't have laws which would make it mandatory for all of us to learn everything about Hydrogen, Lithium, Cobalt, Carbon etc. Once we're fully educated, everybody will have to buy an electric car, and then we're done, and rain forest will grow additional 20m in one year, and will suck all the ugly carbon from our galaxy (if we didn't do that, sea level would rise for 70m in just six months), and then we'll be happy! And uncle Klaus will be happy. Only he'll be happy because he has everything, and we'll be happy because we have nothing. And counting;)

@@N3ur0m4nc3rit says on the batteries to not pierce them or something like that

Very nice compact little cell! I like it. The only problem is you have more than just the graphite rods making contact with the solution. You have screw heads and wire also taking part in the electrolysis reaction. The graphite won't corrode but the other parts will (anode, especially).
Who prevents you from varnishing these parts?
Would stainless corrode?
@@neilstern7108 It shouldn't. Of course, stainless steel can be different. But mostly it is corrosion resistant.
@@Walker7745 thanks for your reply. It is also non magnetic if that helps anything. I'd love to make one. You guys are awesome.
@@neilstern7108 Yes, you successfully reminded me. Suitable stainless steel should be non-magnetic - this is the right sign. Okay Good luck to you.
That was my favorite toy when I was a kid. In addition to that, I used tungsten from light bulbs, wires and a battery to detonate the hho gas remotely😂
Nice to see application of basic chemistry in home diy mode.
We use to make hydrogen bombs. Filled up a bag and put in a 5 gallon bucket, duct taped the whole thing with a fuse that went inside it. Lit it off a few hundred yards from our house, and it literally shook the house. The explosion was so big. Parents heard and felt it, and we got in trouble. We used an old motorcycle battery.
I have a Challenge for you, to create a DIY Hydrogen Camping Burner that can utilise Solar power to charge batteries that intern create sufficient H gas to cook food and for long periods of time. It must be portable enough not to impose to much weight and be usable for upto 2 weeks until returning home. I hope your up for it and that there lays an opportunity to create a small but potential business for Camping fanatics out there, good luck, and great vid, 😊👍
Might as well just fully charge the thing at home. solar panels aren't gonna charge shit.
Very nice, thank-you. Strictly this is making an optimal Hydrogen plus Oxygen mix since all the electrolysis products are mixed together. Here in the UK, potassium hydroxide is not generally available but Caustic Soda is: equally, I imagine, as the preferred electrolyte. Again, thank-you!
Let me tell you what the problem is. When you are halfway through electrolysis, the positive and negative electrodes will be covered with potassium, which affects efficiency. At this time, you only need to pause for two minutes before continuing. This intermittent work will surprise you.
@user Just build a contraption to automate that process lol
5:34 Glad to see your still alive to finish the rest of this video
Good video. We use make when I was a kid hydrogen using sodium hydroxide and aluminium bottle tops using a glass milk bottle with a balloon on top for fun. But your experiment is alot safer and far better.
The design and building of the electrode ladder was totally ingenuous.
I thought so too! Efficient use of materials.
An engineer mind with childish heart. Loved it.❤❤❤
What a great idea to take batteries apart without wearing gloves.
100% I'm going to make one of these. But not until I have a firm grasp on chemistry and the electrolysis process. This is the best kind of cool. The dangerous kind.
it's better to maintain the HH separated from the O until the last moment, when you burn it. otherwise the flame can run into the electrólisis recipient and explode.
Or one can put in line the anti return valve or the thing that extinguish the flame 🔥

@5:42
Yes!! Its compulsory to add a back fire catcher
The installation is good. I tried to do the same myself, only more primitive. I didn't succeed: too little hydrogen was released. If you want to repeat it, remember that the main thing is to ensure the tightness of the system, and this is very difficult, otherwise nothing will work at all. Also try to maximize the electrode area and power. I used a cropped charge from a 2A phone. You can use ordinary water - it also conducts current (only NOT distilled). If you take ordinary tap water, then hydrogen will turn out much cleaner and will burn with a blue flame, but in this case you will have to greatly increase the voltage, otherwise nothing will work. Good luck!
Increase the surface of your electrodes. It's better to use stainless steel plates instead these rods.
Distilled water simply removes all impurities. Why would you not use it?
@@Rotorhead1651 The fact is that pure H2O does NOT conduct current. Distilled water is pure H2O. If you take ordinary tap water, as I said above, then it contains impurities: all sorts of different salts and metal cations, which are conductors of electric current. That is why water seems to be a dielectric, but the current still conducts. Salt, acid or, as in the video, alkali is used to increase the content of metal cations in water and, accordingly, improve its ability to conduct electric current. However, these impurities are also involved in the electrolysis process, which is why other impurities also appear in the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, which makes it more dirty. If nothing is added to the water ( not distilled ) then the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen will turn out much cleaner, but you will need a much higher voltage for the electrolysis process. I hope I explained everything clearly. If it's not difficult for you, please answer me in Russian. I wrote this text through a translator so that you would understand and not have to insert it into the translator and translate it yourself. I will be pleased if they answer me in Russian. Good luck!
@@1KiNeTiK1 Stainless steel is certainly better than graphite rods, but I would advise using copper plates, since steel can react with the electrolyte and deteriorate or even crumble after long use, like mine. I speak from personal experience, we are tired of very strong corrosion even from a salt solution! Copper plates are much better, but they are hard to find and they are more expensive than steel. If it's not difficult, please write your answer with a translation into Russian. thanks for understanding.

Great job, keep up the good work lads it's amazing
Nice video. Maybe it would be a good idea if you pin the comment and inform people that not every battery type has this kind of construction. I learned it the hard way just recently, but at least I had a bunch of empty ones. From approximately 30, I only found graphite core in two I think. C and D type had a much better ratio, but it's still so so. I don't know if this depends on chemistry. I didn't mean to spam, but seeing 61K have already seen this, I don't want them to linch you:)

@@vaclavmoravec5764 thanks
I don't think the audience is so cruel as to lynch anyone. Carbon electrodes are contained in the cheapest salt batteries.
@@blank..-..graphite electrodes are available in stores with welding equipment, at least in our country
I did this experiment of electrolysis of water in class of physics when I was a kid and subsequently at home. There is a noticeable difference though, with the way it was practiced. There indeed was water, a catalyst like salt because plain water is not ionized enough to allow the electrolysis and then there were 2 electrodes with 2 tubes (1 tube per). The tubes needed to be completely full of water, no air, not even a single bubble. Only DC, no AC and no swapping polarities. One tube gets filled with H2 (minus polarity), the other with O2 (plus polarity) (half as much as H2). H2 cannot burn alone. It needs another element like oxygen.
I need to build my lab before I don't have the opportunity to this was an amazing experiment to watch can't wait to practice this technique 😮
A indústria petrolífera adora essas idéias kkkkk... Parabéns pelo conhecimento amigo ... abraços aqui do Brasil...
The petrol industry is not at all concerned with this, because it's just not viable. You are not creating energy by doing this, you are converting it. Poorly. With huge losses. Also, hydrogen is volatile as an energy storage. You know what works a lot better, and doesn't need conversion..? Batteries.
Interesują się. W Polsce stawiają ogromne farmy fotowoltaiczne. Nie, nie żeby sprzedawać energię. Żeby konwertować ją w wodór. Dlaczego? Bo nikt nie chce kupować energii słonecznej skoro słońce świeci za darmo, ludzie sami montują panele i akumulatory domowe.. pojawiło się wiele propagandy przeciwko elektrykom i nagle wszędzie promocja aut na wodór. Oni nie przejmują się stratą wody i że to nie opłacalne pod względem energii którą tracisz w procesie konwertowania wody na wodór, oni po prostu chcą dalej sprzedawać, nie obchodzi ich co sprzedawać.
+ pojawiła się propaganda że są jakieś nowoczesne sposoby produkcji wodoru, okłamują ludzi ze oszukali fizykę i nie tracą energii w procesie konwersji, że otrzymują jej więcej niż używają do tego procesu, zwyczajnie kłamią że ich prawa fizyki nie obowiązują. Mimo tego że to żart z logiki i nauki wodór jest mocno promowany i jest ogromna propaganda, niestety. Oni mają miliardy i stać ich na sianie kłamstw.

Ah, HHO. Oxyhydrogen! It's often called Brown's gas. I have been playing with HHO since I was 17.. and now I am 45.
Good work however remember is HHO not hydrogen . It contains oxygen if get under pressure it will inplote on the generator. The water flash arrestor is good but I will put another before the generator. HHO gas is very very thin and can scape real easy out of the generator container and cut on flame 🔥 .butt love the idea the battery material look like is very good conductor. I think is carbon ? Or graphite .great video
Да я тоже так счаю отличное идея в жизни понадобится. Где понадобится мини тепло.
6 seconds into the video, he shows how to remove them from AA batteries. It is a graphite rod.
Be careful playing with that gas mixture too much. It’s got everything it needs to burn, so it can very easily flash back up its tube, basically turning that bottle full of it into a bomb. If you could somehow split up the gas at the anode and cathode, and then recombine them right where the flame comes out, you’d have yourself a very ingenious and effective oxy-hydrogen torch. Capable of doing lots of cool stuff.
Great Presentation of Video, Technology and matter.
Bro i am not from this field to understand technically but the way video is made is really fun to watch. Good picturisation.
What a great idea. Can one make colloidal silver the same way but using silver rods and distilled water instead?
yes. i use 3 volts or a 5 volt mobile charger
Can we use the same electrolasismethod to make colloidal silver?@@esecallum
Absolutely amazing!
I have always understood that a wet cell generator is inferior to a dry cell. I firmly believe that HHO has the potential to be a game changer. However, it must be done safely. The first method had no flashback arrestor. The second one, while it did have one, it was glass, which makes it highly unsafe. Using a simple check valve would be the best option. Furthermore, you could have used a 9v to power your device. I would personally avoid destroying batteries to obtain the parts needed. There are simpler and safer methods.
What do you use as electrodes? Carbon rods are great for the anodes (connected to battery positive), but not so vital for the cathodes. Not sure why you think disassembling carbon-zinc batteries is dangerous - it's much less dangerous than alkaline batteries (which are highly alkaline inside).
@@michaelnoble2432 using stainless steel plates in a dry cell is standard. Usually, with a rubber or neoprene gasket in between each layer. Destroying any battery is unnecessary to create an electrolyzer. Plus, the wet cell method is inefficient and not suitable for the long term.
@@P.I.E. interesting - in theory stainless steel will erode when used as the anode (carbon is far more resistant to this). How do they get around this problem? I think using AC might help by reversing which plate experiences oxidation 60 times per second?
@@michaelnoble2432 As far as corrosion goes, I am unsure. I am basing my information on others' experiences and builds. I have yet to build one myself, but I do plan to do so. Hopefully, as a future project video. DC is standard, but the idea of using AC also crossed my mind. But I believe that a higher voltage DC would be more efficient. These are topics and ideas I plan on exploring in my future build.
This is one of the coolest things ive seen on youtube. Period
The voltage between the two electrodes must be limited to 3V. If you give 12v directly to the electrodes, the system will heat like hell. I done this thing to my motorcycle a while ago to increase fuel efficiency and power.
I really like the battery salvaging and the 3d printed custom bracket but the design needs more engineering to get pure hydrogen, no corrosion issues, and fine brass wool flashback arrestors.
The brass wool might work for methane and similar gases, but I don't think it would work with a (near stoichiometric) mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The flame velocity is very high and I think it would pass through quite tiny gaps before enough cooling to douse the flame. I suppose if it were fine enough mesh it might be possible, but would a very fine mesh be at risk of being broken or melted - either producing bigger holes or clogging up the holes? An interesting problem, but perhaps just try to keep the gases separate.
@@Merlin3189it really does though I've witnessed tests myself but it has to be extremely fine brass wool typically found at a boating supply.
Очень раритетные батарейки penonsing, достать нереально😊😊😊
Awesome work. Been following HHO projects since 2005. Are you able to list all the components you used? I want to shop for them but just can't figure out their names. Did you 3D print the bits for the battery cathode holder?
The gas is both H2 and O2. Igniting hydrogen results in a whoosh, while oxygen makes a bang. If you want pure hydrogen, you must prioritize the bubbles emanating from the cathode.
Yes, it is risky since the mixture of gases is unstable.
I was going to say, doesn't the hydrogen flame burn invisible?
Olá. De todos os projetos que vi achei esse o melhor e mais simples. Parabéns! Três perguntas: Quanto tempo duram os eletrodos ? Que material são as duas barras com furos e que servem de suporte para os eletrodos? Quanto tempo durou a pilha ?
as barras com furos parecem que foram impressas em 3D, presumo que seja PLA
cool experiment. You should mention in the video the visibility of the flame is due to the impurities being carried into the supply tube of hydrogen, as pure hydrogen burns invisibly.
Man I remember as a kid plunging two cables from a 12v battery into salt water and seeing the bubbles form. Had no idea what it was back then.
the smartest thing I have seen on you tube !
Brilliant! Thank you!
Amazing! I was trying to get started and new batteries are soft all the way through with no rod, just a small nail at the bottom
Bro made the coolest lighter ever!
You could just make a resistance heater with that one battery and youd get the same heat. The power from the little battery is splitting the water up at that same power rate. Then the flame can only reassemble that water at the maximum of that power from the battery. Theoretically. But there will be losses so itd actually be less. Some losses can be negotiated away, but a large bit of losses are nonnegotiable. Probably something like 41% efficiency at the max
You’re right but that’s really not the point of the video.
I believe the flame is much hotter than a resistance heater
I wish we stuff like this at school. I would have paid much more attention if that was a case during classes.
Слава богу в школах не учат способам, как убить себя.
Absolutely! I got into chemistry and physics because my parents let me experiment with this sort of stuff from a very young age. My dad had wire, batteries, bulbs, magnets all sorts of stuff and built games out of them for me. When I got to secondary school and they started teaching science at age 12, I was already mad keen to learn everything about it - though it took the school a year or two to catch up with what I'd already read at the library. In those old days, teachers did indeed try to interest us by doing experiments like this. Later I became a science teacher myself, but by then we were being increasingly limited by health and safety concerns (of the management, not the teachers) so more and more experiments were banned. I'd hate to study science in school today. All you get now is; healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, fear every disease going, terror of weather and climate, just stop oil (& coal, gas), the damage to the environment of just about every human activity, sex training (that at least provokes some interest, though also a lot of embarrassment), etc. My specialism, chemistry, has almost disappeared, as just about every "chemical" is now too dangerous to use: if you are lucky you might dissolve salt and make salt crystals, or see an iron nail go rusty. But I have given up on schools as sources of knowledge and understanding - in all subjects, not just science. What really depresses me though, is the absence of good books in public libraries. In my local library, the non-fiction section is hardly visible - three shelves out of about 20 - and the few science books are nearly all limited to the school curriculum and are outnumbered by the fake science books - crystal healing, magic diets, climate madness, , .... I'm glad the internet still gives access to people who do know something about science, but you really have to be very careful. This video is entertaining, but not educational. It tells you little about the chemistry, nothing about the physics and paints a very misleading picture of this topic (Technology Ingredients did some even more impressive demos of this, but also explained the very real dangers and precautions.) Other comments have also pointed out the failings of this video, but it's sad to see that most comments are from people who not only don't know about the science involved, but actually "know" a lot that is false!
You didn't do this at school?
@@drunkenhobo8020 All our experiments were very boring. We burned linoelum once for example to see how pvc burns or put nails into some blue water to create crystals on them by letting them stand on window for 2 weeks but thats pretty much it. The most interesting chemistry experiment was when our chemistry teacher accidentally poisoned second floor of our elementary school with some chlorine based gas and we were all send home for 2 days before they managed to ventilate everything.
This is a very high quality handicraft
Advice: Safety First, I would have a secondary bubbler before you light that - that flame can easily go up into that fuel cell and BAAM you've got a bad day. Otherwise, I love the setup, nice job.
Dangerous! You create a perfect mix af oxigen and hydrogen gas in one container. I hope it's only people who know what they're doing to get inspired by this video.

"Great video! I have a question: before inserting the needle into the second small cylinder or jar to create fire 🔥, is it regular water inside the small container? Or still mix with potassium hydroxide. Also, can the water run out of the small jar or can while there is a continuous flow of hydrogen from the large container to the small one?" Or will it be filled with water bubbles due to the continuous hydrogen into the small cylinder?
agua normal para evitar que el fuego entre hacia adentro 🙋🏽♂🙋🏽♂
Its regular water, its actually a flashback arrest, HHO is extremely flammable since it has hydrogen and oxygen together and just needs ignition or high temp to ignite, so that bubbler doesn't let the flame pass back to the generator cell. Its a safety valve but transparent soft tubing isn't best for production since it can melt and cause boom.
Also hho can inplote under pressure pure hydrogen can be compress but HHO no because contains oxygen and if you compress the 2 molecules BOOM
Awesome work!
When i made glass for a fiber optic company i used hydrogen/oxygen to work quartz... (would still use it if supply companies carried it for private sales) I remember thinking why have i never seen a oxygen supply dropping off or anyone with hydrogen....

Didn't know industrial models was sold, I never went snooping through that floor to see a model/ name etc which i had lol Most of the hydrogen supplied stuff was herbort arnold torches, furnaces etc (i keep wanting to make a nice model to supplement my oxygen concentrator however i dont a actual bomb next to me while i melt glass for hours

Doing it with Salt water (NaCl) is potentially dangerous as you may get Chlorine along with Oxygen at the Cathode. I think that causes the yellow coloration of the solution.
I can see why the Hindenburg had issues........... Great video!
That's just making the room humid with extra steps!
I didnt expect you can generate hydrogen from two 1.5V batteries.
Ótimo projeto
oteresima parlo jo que te le pa sa n mosieur
Can’t believe that we need more energy than that explosion to separate the water molecules. I mean that explosion seems more powerful than the electrolysis.
Some old chemistry books show you how to collect hydrogen. They were actually very simple to construct.
And I always thought it was too energy intensive to separate hydrogen and oxygen since bonding them makes for the best reaction for rocket engines to this day…
I can make own and unlimited fuel for my rocket , thanks 👍
Y el grafito que tiempo aguanta antes de corroerse .??
Pretty cool! I’m sure the salt water mix is dirty from oxidation of the cathodes and anodes. Or some shit like that.
That joint tied up to clipper 😂
So Not Hydrogen as the title says but HHO (Browns Gas)
He says in video later on
