- - How to extract the hydrogen from plain water -
- - File Created by Fallen Angel -
- - -
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To separate the hydrogen and oxygen contained in water is a simple process. I
- made this file so that anyone with minimal equipment could have himself a
- glass jar full of flamable hydrogen. When the process fills your jar, the
- hydrogen won't be compressed, hot or radioactive. It will be room temperature
- and room pressure. The same goes for the oxygen.
-
- Materials
- ---------
-
- 1 large bowl.
- Preferably clear glass so you can see through it.
-
- 2 carbon rods.
- These can be take from carbon batteries such as Radio Shack's battery
- club batteries. The bigger the better.
-
- 1 DC power source.
- I use a Sears 36-watt car battery charger.
-
- 4 feet of insulated copper wire
-
- 2 small jars.
- Small enough to fit two in the bowl. I used some narrow, tall olive
- jars.
-
- 1 roll of duct tape.
-
- 1 packet of sodium carbonate.
- This is NOT baking soda which is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium carbonate
- usually comes in a plastic package with tie-dye kits. It is a grainy
- white powder.
-
- Procedure
- ---------
-
- Fill the large bowl with water and dissolve half the packet of sodium
- carbonate in it. Attach one carbon rod to a stripped end of each of the
- copper wires with duct tape after you have cut it evenly into two pieces. Be
- sure that no metal is showing on the end where you connected the carbon rods.
- Somehow, make an electrical connection between the remaining ends of the wires
- and the power source. If everything is working properly, you can now turn on
- the power source and stick the carbon rods in the bowl. Watch them closely to
- see which one is emitting bubbles twice as fast as the other once, as that
- will be hydrogen and the slower one will be oxygen. If you want to burn this
- hydrogen or inhale the oxygen, you can fill one of the small jars with water
- from the bowl and turn it over on top of the rod with your favorite gas. Have
- fun with this and be sure to keep your hands out of the way when you put a
- match under the upside-down jar full of hydrogen when you light it!
-
- Miscellaneous
- ------------
-
- I have tested this method for getting hydrogen gas and it works. I captured
- it into a mayonaisse jar, then put a match underneath it and it blew leaves up
- that were four feet away from me. It is powerful stuff. Watch for more files
- coming soon from Fallen Angel!
