Build a small hydrogen HHO generator

Build a small hydrogen HHO generator

Make your very own hydrogen (and oxygen) generator with a 9V battery, copper wire, and baking soda (or salt). Why? Who knows. Make sure to check your connections. For more information on this hack, including detailed, step-by-step instructions on assembling your own HHO generator, watch this how-to video.

HHO is a combustible that burns at the temperature of the Sun and with more explosive power than gasoline. It doesn't emits CO2, the chemical reaction after firing this gasses is to unite again the Hydrogen Molecules (H2) and the Oxygen creating again H2O.

I remember doing this in high school. one of the electrical probes has hydrogen coming off it and the other has oxygen coming off it. If the 2 probes are in separate containers and the 2 containers are connected with a pipe to allow the water to flow between them then you can collect the individual gasses.

This process is popular among home "scientist" who are hooking these up onto there air intake valves in there. The flammable added supposedly increases fuel efficiency. The gas created in this video is very minimal compared to what could be created with multiple plates.

With baking soda you are creating Carbon Monoxide - deadly and with salt you are creating Chlorine gas also deadly - go back to chemistry 101 before sending out dangerous stuff like this - HHO should only be generated with KOH or NAOH. Your first lesson is to look up what they are in the science books !

oh darn it. i did this experiment for school and i used baking soda instead of salt because i thot it would be safer because i knew salt made chlorine. i did not know both made toxic gas.

what the hell are you supposed to do with a hydrogen generator. How do you hook it up to a power source. You should of mentioned that in the video. Please reconsider.

Thanks, i wanted to see this done my kid did it last year in the six grade, I see it can be improved on. I will use plain water or something safe.

Try to build something to catch the H2 and leave O .We need it in the atmosphere.

Our 5th grade class did this yesterday. To show that the wire that had twice the bubbles (gas) was hydrogen and the other oxygen.
