Making a Simple Hydrogen Generator from Screw | make hho generator at home
In this video, I show how to make a super fast and simple hydrogen and oxygen generator. In this method, I use electricity to decompose oxygen and hydrogen in water. And we turn it into hho gas.
Note that you should use drain cleaner or salt to make the water conductive, but if you use salt, the color of the water will turn green due to metal oxidation, so it is better to use drain cleaner.

Watch out, if a flame gets into those glass bottles, they will quickly turn into glass frag grenades.
Therefore, I have used water as a one-way valve
Please consider a different enclosure for the fuel cells. A modified plastic soda bottle (if you want it to be clear) or pvc would be preferable. Browns gas should be treated with respect. Complacency kills
He made a flash arrester with the 4th bottle
Well,I fire need oxygen to start no matter how flammable the thing it must need oxygen to light up
well thats true
Remider for people doing this: ADD A PROPER FLASHBACK ARRESTOR Should a spark make it through the water, into the generator, the Glass bottles will act like a Frag grenade!
I use to use just a bit of cotton.
Came to the comments just to say this, thank you
What’s a flashback arrestor
I wanna make this. I get it stops the flame from reaching the hydrogen…. However where would I place it? Please, annnnd thank you a bunch. 🙏
@@TheVADERfunk A one-way valve for gasses, so if something blows up, it won't travel into the generator
Curious have you tried closer spacing by chance? Of the screws for higher effeciency, and lower current draw.
I would give some advices for people who are going to make it: 1. Use Sodium hydroxide NaOH (it's easier to find, but does the job fine) 2. Use distilled water, to have a clear solution after it's been running for a long time 3. Used stainless steel wires (or glue them throughly to make the wires have no contact with solution) and use stainless steel electrodes (in here screw) (some of razors are stainless)
Steel wool washers have also a big surface ^^
Use copper plates instead of steel it'll work better. And yes I know, it's a little more expensive.
@@jackhank2694 actually I've tried with copper, and that dissolves into the solution too..
@@amirreza6526gd I don't think it dissolves, it electro plates the other electrode
@@andybilakshow260 for the electroplating to happen the solution salt must be same as the electrode, when the salt is different I think the anode first releases it ions into the solution until it's saturated enough to start electroplating.
water and electricity are great at releasing hydrogen from electrolytes and metals. All of that original energy that went into making the steel released, wonderful.
Um, what? The hydrogen and oxygen are coming from the water being split. This is simple electrolysis. None of the energy that went into "making the steel" is being released. This is a net negative energy system - you're putting more energy into it to split the water then you'll get out of combusting the hydrogen that's produced. That's why we don't have ICE's that use water as fuel. The electrolytes you seem to think are yielding hydrogen contain no hydrogen (if you're using salt) and are simply there to transmit the electrical charge. Even if you're using drain cleaner, which is NaOH, those OH anions can't leave the solution because they balance the Na cations. With drain cleaner, the equations are: Cathode (reduction): 2 H2O(l) + 2e− → H2(g) + 2 OH−(aq) Anode (oxidation): 2 OH−(aq) → 1/2 O2(g) + H2O(l) + 2 e− Yielding: 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
What are you talking about?
Okay, this was an interesting video. Whatever you do, do not place the product gas into a large container. Both of the oxygen and the hydrogen are mixed there, and any tiny spark could cause a large and dangerous explosion.
Darwin awards here we come…. Removed from the gene pool by his own creation…
Well... An explosion is exactly what I want, I want to fill a small chamber, then apply a spark, to push a piston, to spin a wheel.
@@TheInfiniteVoid 😄😅 HHO engines! Great stuff and should be more common, same for LPG.
F that. Using salt makes hydrogen and chlorine. Not good either. Sick of these deadly and misinformed DIYs
Good to know, thank you.
I got into dry cell HHOs for awhile a couple of years back. The best one was 1/3 battery acid worked awesome except that the positive plates did not last very long.
Use graphite electrodes.

Шикарное решение для того кто хочет получить силикат натрия! Щёлочь, особенно едкий натр, хорошо растворяет стекло! При растворение под электричеством он быстро вступает в реакцию со стеклом, из-за чего теряет свойство выделять водород. Учебник по химии 7 класс! Ну в России точно

Друзья, а яичная скорлупа, вымоченная в уксусной эссенции плюс 2 электрода плюс 2 трубки = на выходе O² and H. Не?)))) Млять. 100500 лет известно явление электролиза. Нахера такие сложности.
Cool video, but don’t drill things while holding them
What is the ampere electric intensity consumption ? How many watt-hours are needed to produce one liter of this hho gas mix at sea level temperature ? Does it work with 9v battery ?
Yes it works 9v, the more electrons the more H & O separated, so the speed only depends on amps, and a minimun of volts
Wer in der Schule in Chemie und Physik aufgepasst hat, lächelt müde über diesen DIY-Tipp. Knallgasproduktion heißt das auch. Deshalb nicht ungefährlich, wenn man das falsch macht und das Verhältnis Wasserstoff zu Sauerstoff exakt 2:1 ist. Das ist hier der Fall.
Шампунь, мыло добавь а воду. Получишь пену её и врывай!
This type of hho generator, if it works for a long time, will certainly heat up to +80 degrees.
Yeah but due to inefficiencies the energy stored in the hydrogen gas is more expensive than it was as electrical energy.
Not if the electricity came from a free source such as wind power. Couldn't that be a solution to the inconsistent nature of wind and the storage issues surrounding electricity. Maybe not effecient overall but free is free and some is better than none. I am no expert so I am just riffing on the idea, but the main problem I imagine is storing the hydrogen which surely requires compression.
@@TheCompleteGuitarist check out Robert Murray Smiths channel. He has a video on a material which stores hydrogen at 10 per cent by weight at room temperature using urea and sugar. You apply heat to get the hydrogen back out.
Do you know a paper that convincingly prove this? Basically, quantify that generating the electrolysis current from the HHO output is not possible.
@@TheCompleteGuitarist nor solar, neither wind energy comes free
that is not true you are repeating the same old line that has been put out there for years to discourage Hydrogen use.
Bottle 4 is the filter/clarifier. And I have used mine to weld plastic panels. And solder my radio kits my throttle is a sewing machine foot switch. Good rig keep at it.
Thanks for the info!
Bottle 4 is also called bubbler. Its main purpose is the prevention of accidentally ignited gas flashing back into the generator bottles 1-3. Which can cause explosion of the bottles and severe damage.
Can i use potasium hydroxide flakes??
The nice thing about a homemade hydrogen generator is that it needs a battery.
Amazing!!!
Awesome video!
5:06 I was shocked when he lit a fire that close, crazy man. This is dangerous. If a spark reaches inside these bottles, there will be a big explosion 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Did this before, but it is stupid to collect the oxygen and hydrogen in the same bottle it is easy to seperate them. The different gases come of the positive and negative terminals and used a solar panel to generate the 12vdc. I only combine them when I want to use them. Used them in a welding torch. That one bottle with them mixed is just a bomb.
you dont collect them in the same bottle, they both go in one first as you can see and in this bottle because oxygen is more dense it goes down and the hydrogene is going up to the next tube out then its pretty much pure
Make a video on that bro

These gases are a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, resulting from the electrolytic decomposition of water.They are in the correct proportion to produce the strongest explosion.

for quick demo this is ok. this material will not last due to corrosion unless you are using stainless steel.
Thank you for the information you provided me.
stainless degrades too.

@@60Oldfart would that high grade come in wire form? 16gauge or less perhaps? My cell design looks like a string of DNA Works awesome except for the fact it wears out in less than a month.
Can you run a little RC car nitro gas piston engine with the hydrogen that is generated? Instead of just burning it?
don't please don't why would you do that to a tiny little engine the O2 would consume the piston very quickly
@@lancemenke2728 hm i don´t know, big diesel engines can run with hydrogen. Maybe you would need to customize it, mill a new piston and cylinder out of tough steel?
Yes it's possible as long as the engine is equipped with spark plugs and is 4 stroke,
The only problem is that in the winter time the glass will crack
Oh oh. I better get my olives and pickles out of the fridge.
Good work and nice video
Hello @skillmake can I ask sir/ma'am if what is the size of the bottles you used. Please tell it to me in L, W, and H thanks just need it for my experimental research of that idea of you sir/ma'am 😊.Hope that's really working 🥰. Please answer asap sir/ma'am 🤧
Thanks for watching. I hope you like the video.
Eta bisa di jieun stove teu?...
I was wondering if u can help me with some information. If u know. I am going back and forth with someone online about this process to run a car. They keep saying the battery will drain faster then it can charge. Bc u need to borrow energy from to do the electrolysis. But there are already patents that prove it works. The disagreement is for how long
Does the water have to be destilled?
@@fightbackfakenews Hydrogen engines exist now, but the most important issue is the maintenance of this dangerous gas.
@@skillmake pure hydrogen engines don't exist. Mostly hybrid. I'm saying without having to recharge like a ev.
Pytanie tylko ile takie wkręty Wytrzymają Myślę że bardzo krótko
I was thinking the same thing. And every other video I've seen shows a stainless steel plate and a copper plate. Wonder how he gets the reaction from a single metal.
Could you please explain what characteristics the power supply should have
use a 12 volt 7 amp hour battery and you should be good
what if you directly put the flame to the exit tube?
It will explode.
Thanks , I supposed that would happen due to the pressure as well@@alx_8563
هذا المسار ليس ب الواح سلستين هل يعمل الحديد فى الخليه دون السحونه
1:55.... Please No!! You learn the bad way to drill a hole! Why?!
What is the spacing between the conductors(screws)?
as long as they don't make contact with each other, it should be fine. The more screws you have the better it would be
I already did this but it didn't boiled in the 4th bottle. Can someone explain to me why? 🥺🤧
Insufficient power supply!
Potasio da uma energia muito cara, a solar é de graça.
Hahahahahah! The rocket show was amazing end of the video dude!
Very professional work, Thanks my friend, Big liked+♥️
This give me the idea to modify my little plant and get it smarter and smaller.
how much liter per hour it can produce?
My question now after having done this for some time is.... Why now don't we make a divided dry cell so that we feed the consumption of the gas with only the hydrogen feed?
thats what i was thinking, but it would be more efficient to have them mixed together in this scenario since it uses oxygen anyways, but for transportation and other things it shohld probably just he stored as hydrogen then pull in air from thr atmosphere
Bro answer this how long will it work for?!?!!!! I think the screw will get melted
I'm going to do this for a school project, do you think it's very dangerous to make flames with this? besides how many times can I connect them to the battery until they "stop" working
What are the screws made of? They are black? And can you use plastic bottles? Great video thanks
Stainless steel
Its all fun and cool until the glass jars explode like frag grenedes
If you use graphite electrodes, do you still need the potassium hydroxide?
¿Clavos de aluminio/galio?
Stainless steel
is it pure H2 or mixture of O2 and H2?
Something calles Brown's gas. Atomized hydrogen and oxygen, HHO. super dangerous but very useful.
The design in this video is very smart, only the assembly material's is being debated... Change some materials add safety, IE... Gloves/ goggles, and lots of ventilation... Then you'd be good to go... Good video thanks... Thom in Scotland.
Please consider "VIBRATING the fluid at about 111vibrations per second to knock loose the hydrogen molecules at a much higher rate!!!..
Very good idea. But why 111 Hz?
@@barblitt4222 That appears to be a frequency that granite rock having quarts and felspar material will start to disassemble them self's if vibrated. Once you remove the vibration the rock will comeback twice as hard give a more perfected molecular consistency.
@@barblitt4222 REmember to vibrate not oscillate, the "B" field

As an electrics tech for 20 years, the soldering is laughable.
how do you make the hydrogen torch like the initial picture of this video implies you will learn to make?
Why do we have to put the tube underwater to then make the bubble pop for the hydrogen? can't we just put the lighter in front of the tube to open directly the hydrogen on fire? maybe it's because water act liek a valve and there isn't enough pressure to launch the hydrogen foward and if it catches on fire the fire will go to the buttoles and making tem explode.
What type of wires did you use, I used yellow copper wires and it did not run on the screws, is there another type that I can use?
Hmmmmm... Was hoping you put the end at a cooking stove, but it seems way too explosive to be usefull for cooking. Cant it be made to just burn nicely like propane?
Hydrogen is very reactive and I hope a way will be found to control it. Technology is working on this issue and I think it will reach somewhere.
@@skillmake maybe a small gasoline generator can use it, then it can run an electrical stove :) *Edit* Btw thx for video. Think i saw some using steel wool for even more surface in a video. i got to try it some day :)
Ничего сложного, огнепреградительный клапан поставить только. И надо таких баночек по больше. Плюс накопитель, и редуктор. Вот и всё.
Never use glas!
Graphite or stainless steel will last longer, other basic metals will be dissolved as the anode
Pencil Graphite is fun. - Use the power of the Terracota, Alumnium heatsink 5v Fan, to heat house?.
I feel like this is illegal
Make a hydrogen boom 😄 with this
this is not hydrogen. It is browns gas. which is much more dangerous. to make true Hydrogen you would have to separate the + and - plates in the solution collecting the bubbles off of the two separate plates. one, being Oxygen the other being Hydrogen. The mixture of the two is HIGHLY explosive and mostly useless for anything but combustion. also on a side not, the type of metal that you use to make this reaction matters. 315 stainless steel 'if I remember correctly' is the best material to use as the plates or electrodes..
what is the cost of making this model?
Bro can we use any other bottles for doing this? And Which type of stainless steel screw is used ? Can we produce hyderogen from single bottle also?? Please reply soom
You can use any other bottle with salty water, and you can also use any screw. You can generate hydrogen from 1 bottle too, and you can also use sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, baking soda, or calcium carbonate instead of salty water.
Diletakkan saja kalau uji coba takutnya anda jadi korban eksperimen anda sendiri..tiba tiba meledak tangan hancur gimana...???

I have a question, does this generator generate the healthy hydrogen water we want to drink to heal our bodies? I’m in need of healing, been on the journey for 13 yrs now. Thanks you.
it generates hydrogen and oxygen gas
If it is true why can't it be used in place of cooking gas
instead of using salt water use drain cleaner it does not make the water dark green when the electrodes are active
Can I use sodium hydroxide?
yes
Nice video, thanks for sharing it with us :)
podrias usarlo para cocinar ???
Glass bottle filled with hydrogen and oxygen...gives me the shits.
the picture on intro page shows holding a glass bottle and an hho flame coming from a nozzle. HHO gas is a perfect mix and has an extreme burn speed holding a bottle and flame coming from it garanties glass potentially jnbeaded into hand or eyes. The only way to keep the flame from feeding back and causing injury is to have nozzle gas speed faster than a 9000 fps burn speed. omg
You should use plastic bottles anyway. Most people use 2 security devices: Bottle 4 (the bubbler) and a device in the final output tube, the arrestor. It can be simplest a cigarette filter. Or: a metal pipe filled with steel wool.
Please elaborate, I want to do this, but I need someone that can teach me. It would be much appreciated 🙏. Will a 12 volt car battery work for this experience? I want melt soft metals, is that possible. And what things I shout look out for. I have two sheets of non-magnetic stainless steel, im thinking that would be a better option then screws. It would be a pain it the but, but ill do it if it performs for my needs thank you and I do hope you comment back PLEASE!! Sincerely Deegan 777

Revolutions on you drill are slightly too high 😂
And it requires electricity to produce a gas that comes from material that breaks down & has to be replaced quite often. This isn't efficient. It's very limited.
and thats why i would make it with a plastic bottle
Hollow out a small old car battery for a container. It has individual cells inside and won't shatter.

where does theo2 goes and what is ue of last bottle with water
The thumbnail for this video is dangerously misleading, you can't see hydrogen burning.
(im from argentina okey? so if i dont write right you all know why) what happen if you put the fire directly in the tuve from hydrogen? pls someone answer i dont wanna try, i dont wanna die XD
Make a steam engine. Solar panel battery and torch in boiler burner. Then make a train.
Mae sure to use an extra bottle of water since there is no flash arrester it will Mae it a bit safer..
I took a home made. Check ball. That is to say put a glass marble in a slightly larger tube using the adaptor small to big then back to out put line . Care fully set the ball weight to slow passage of gas under pressure. If system failure the check ball drops to cut off the source. Little to no bang. hi hi hho amego. Via con dios.
