I wanted to make the simplest pocket HHO generator. The use of screws gives us a large electrode surface due to the thread, in addition it is very cheap. To build such a generator, all you need is a drill and some good intentions. Good luck in your constructions! - Наука та технологія
There were a lot of comments about using tools. Of course, if I have a bench drill, I use it instead of a manual drill. However, I can make a hydrogen generator without any tools. All you need is a little creativity. Let me know if you want this video!
Yes we want this Video
That would be a hell yeah
Keep it to yourself
How?
Please
Brings back many childhood memories (from 65 years ago)! Thanks for sharing!
A few years ago we made one of these. We used three canning jars and stainless steel wire. We connected all three jars with plastic tubes and had a fourth jar as a safety buffer where the HHO gas had to pass before finally coming out of a tube from the buffer jar.
We powered it with a small auto battery charger and it really made a lot of HHO! Just to see how explosive this gas is we took a 2 litre Coke bottle, filled it with water then held it upside down in a bucket of water. Then ran the HHO tube into the bottle and turned on the battery charger. It took about a minute to replace the water in the Coke bottle with HHO gas. Then we put the cap back on the Coke bottle and removed it from the bucket of water. Next, we took the bottle to the firepit in the back yard and tossed it in.
When it exploded you could feel a concussion of the air hitting your body. It was like a bomb blast. Very loud and bright! The bottle flew higher than the trees in the woods. When we found the bottle it was shredded.
We blew up a couple more and decided this is frickin' dangerous as hell. Fun. And dangerous.
I'm reading this and I had to double check your name as I thought you were my brother. Hahah we did the exact same thing
I would have done exactly the same thing. God bless you.
I definitely would have done that as a kid I'd I had known
Plz tell that this experiment is enviroment friendly or not
@@vinaygupta6218 When pure hydrogen burns the only chemical released is H2O. Water. So it does not pollute like other burning chemicals or liquids. Yes, it is environmently friendly. I have watched water dripping out of the end of a basketball inflator end that we attached the end of the hose to where the HHO gas tube terminated. When lighting the HHO gas a burning flame would appear and the only thing other than the flame was dripping water.
We need classes like this to make sciency happy and useful! bringing back the children
Watched to the end coz no stupid music. Cheers
Exactly! How did that get to be a thing on UA-cam? Idiotic music is so annoying on 99% of this style video.
Underrated comment. The amount of shit I start watching and then immediately turn off because of the stupid-ass music is unreal.
I’ll think I’ve found my video and then I hear a “heyyyyyy guyyyyys looong time noooo post” that takes 45 seconds or more. Dude rocked balls on this one
Amen! Ick, a plague on godawful royalty-free techno ad nauseam. (Except for recipe vids, where it's godawful royalty-free overly-perky jingle music looping ad nauseam).
And this guy doesn't speed things up so it's too darn fast to see what's going on and/or it's just plain annoying. Yay!!
I'm tempted to do a parody vid titled: AWESOME LIFEHACK!! TURN YOUR iPHONE INTO A HOT GLUE GUN THAT INCESSANTLY PLAYS GODAWFUL ROYALTY-FREE TECHNO MUSIC! The music on the vid will be John Cage's 4'33" (which consists of 4 minutes 33 seconds of the musicians not playing their instruments!)
@@marka.200 I guess some UA-camrs have never seen a well produced TV program, and take it upon themselves to reinvent the wheel, (a little on the square side). Compare how, after TV has spent nearly a cemtury striving keep microphones out of shot, every UA-camr who thinks they have something profound to say now has to have a big expensive mic on the table in front of them.
This is by far the best HHO Gen contraption I have seen in the last six years. 2 thumbs up!!!
You haven't seen mine.
Mines a bigger one!,,,,,,,,!
@@waynesanders1406 No, I have not.
Built a quart jar size years ago. I like this size! Great work and idea!
Excellent, economical and very efficient with just a 3v battery and easily purchased items. You work very well, it shows that you are a professional. Greetings from Bahía Blanca, Argentina
Awesome! Good craftsmanship too, especially with the lathe!
Great HHO setup. Most videos about hho are too complicate, bulky or completely eyesore, yours is more simple, neat, handy and portable. For more advanced and heavy duty setup, others can just changed it to stainless steel 316L and some bubbler. Good work 👍👍👍
My brain at 2 am: That's enough UA-cam for today, it's time to sleep
UA-cam: Wanna watch some random guy blowing up bottles ?
Me: Why not :)
😁
Epic comment 😂
Truth
Literally all of us. 😂
Yup
No music......NO dramatic editing........i love it...........subbed
How about doing a generator with seperate ports for H2 and O2 using the H2 to run an H2 fuel cell.
Thank you for sharing you work here for free. I have built a similar apparatus before, and my contribution to this forum is that the biggest problem one runs into quickly is the corrosion of the metals submerged in the electrolyte. Those cable decompose very fast, actually faster than your need to change the electrolyte. Just be mindful of that as you head out to try this out. If any one finds a solution to that problem, please let all of us know.
Peut être en rajoutant en parallèle une anode de bateau..... elle est fabriqué pour éviter ce genre de problème, elle s'érode à la place du système (c'est une histoire de différences de conductivité, dans les bateaux,inox, aluminium,laiton ect.... ça fait une pile....et ces anode, remplaçable, prennent pour elles cette effect......en gros c'est ça)
As far as simplicity this has to be my favorite
Simple and functional, what more could you ask. So many generators take a lot of machinery. If I remember years back a member of a heavy metal band (Motorhead, Metallica, Megadeath?) don't remember but he published his pdf diagram of what he did. He made his old big cadillac run on water with a converted horizonal propane tank mounted in the trunk. He didn't care about the weight because what the hey it's only water! This here is a good short and sweet video!
Just stumbled across this channel and I'm impressed. Keep up the good work buddy.
Squiggzz
I haven't thought about these in years.....no idea why this popped up on my page but. Cheers. Nice work
cause u need to get moving on inventing, Your creative spirit is restless
@@Zagadu1 you're right. I've picked up about 5 hobbies this year and I love it
Have you watched any videos about aerating gasoline to greatly improve car mileage, perhaps?
@@jacobshort6528 I think it was part of a hybrid class I was in a long time ago....(5 year feels like forever 😆) you don't forget the things that pull your imagination.
I am going to make this for my final work at high school cheers !
Our brains run in odd ways; fun to watch...great job. Loved it.
I tried it and it really works.
I used it with my homemade laserline that i put on my motorcycle and its really looks cool.
Thank you so much.
Nice clean build. I remember building these back in 2007 when gas was approaching $5/gallon. You could use washers for more surface area to generate more gas.
I bet your neighbors love you :) ... good job, thanks for sharing
Would be interested in a follow up video after long time use. Unless you use stainless steel parts, everything will be eaten up in weeks. The copper wire is also not going to last long at all inside that caustic soup. I used to build these many years ago with all stainless steel parts, including stainless steel cable for wires. I like your idea tho, but with all SS parts.
You are right of course, or the electrolyte could be changed: potassium sulphate maybe?
@@spiderjuice9874 i figured only recently that sodium chloride is the only real electrolyte, in regards to the ocean for example. must be too for the earth.
@@anointing_favour NaCl is the most prevalent electryolyte on Earth, but this doesn't mean it is the best. Here it would produce chlorine bleach which can corrode stainless steel. You would have a surprised look on your face if you spent all that time constructing this thing with stainless steel parts only to find that it was starting to rust when you used it!
@@spiderjuice9874 oh yeh i forgot, electrolysis produces sodium hydroxide. then natural gas sounds better. rather than having all of them alkaline substances around, then to have to fill up again. but then again it should not be that much of a concern, for what is left over could stay there, then all that is required is to simply put more water. then the mix stays the same. use the naoh left over to clean the toilet. still natural gas, sounds better though.
Simplest design I've seen yet.
Good job!
Dude! I didn’t know what the heck an HHO generator was...I thought it was something that generated power or something like that. This is even better than what I expected! Great job 😁👍
He did generate power. He generated hydrogen gas as a fuel source. The propulsion off the bottle was from a combustion reaction of hydrogen reacting with the oxygen in the air producing water vapor. That reaction gives a lot off energy.
Random Internet Profile I know he didn’t create power...I thought, by what the title of the video said, that it was some kind of power generator. After watching the video I could see that was not it at all. It was something different than I thought. I thought I made that clear in my comment but I guess I did not.
@@onehappydawg I thought you made it clear enough..randoms just getting 'technical'
Mr Magoo yeah, he’s probably some kind of engineer lol
This is great to have watched before the zombie apocalypse happens!
Hello friend, thank you for sharing, I am very impressed, this simple construction system makes the functionality more and more efficient and very efficient I really enjoyed making and testing it, thank you very much and hugs.
Another cracking video.Fair play to you always.And apart from my previous positive comments on the other HHO video Helm Hurst added another..no stupid music.People like MN Projects are the reason You Tube is so useful and successful.Once again my thanks.
Thanks!
Simple but yet amazing, certainly deserves my subscription 👍
Pretty nice job with the bolts.
If used in a vehicle, you might want to consider making a thin window viewer along its side for determining what the level is in the canister so it doesn't burn itself out.
Years ago I used HHO on my van, and I can attest to it doing a great job on fuel consumption and engine power. Mine was hooked up to both in fuel intake and the airflow intake lines for double effect.
Hold up on your van what do u mean
@@cole5272
Do I really have to reiterate what I said quite plainly?? Come on now.
HHO gas was produced inside the passenger section in its canister, pushed in thru the firewall into the engine compartment...to the two sections mentioned. Period. Easy peasy!
@@itzcaseykc You said it very plainly, but a lot of people don't understand the fuel or the method of extracting it. There is a way to extract a burnable fuel from water, with relatively low power consumption. Apparently it's not good enough to be utilized in a country (America) who claims that global warming is the single biggest threat to humanity. Much cleaner fuels that are accessible, not being used.. Because that sweet fossil fuel brings in the big bucks.
@@mikebergman1817 I don't subscribe to greed, no matter where or how it stems from. Human nature, apart from allowing God lead the way, is where self is the mainstay and the first option, within the corporations or personal life, and... because there are unscrupulous people cutting corners at construction sites, others suffer as a result. Not everyone supports what their leaders promote, i.e. the global warming theory being "the single biggest threat to humanity," either in France, Germany, England, America or other countries. Being in office doesn't mean they are working for their constituents or in their favor.
How long did the hho conversation last?
Congratulations, it is really impressive.
Well done! I subscribed after watching several times.
Brilliant! A very clever mind designed this.
Not really
The surface area of the rods is nice.
Could be used for other projects as a template, if the bolts are covered in silver or so.
Sand paper the bolts to increase the surface area, this increasing overall efficiency
@ I didn't say take 40 grit and grind it like you did your sister, I meant simply give it a moderate sanding
@@excelsior8682 that wasn't mentioned their and don't try to act smart anyone can abuse so better mind your words

Solid workmanship!
Nice construct. Very impressive.
Don't know what the hell it is or what it's for but I love things that go bang, ace! Men never grow up.
Lol, looked like a pipe bomb to me
Humans are hilariously amazing. All of that calculated work and precision to amuse ourselves with a bottle going Bang 😂
Loved it this a really great tutorial
Yeah we are funny, like thinking that all the effort was just to make a little bottle go “bang”! 😂
My kinda science
@@bobswagger9047 In High School Jim Blew up Our I P S Teacher during the Class . Test tubes collected the Gas over the Wire electrode . Jim Called Norwood over and said look what is Happening .

Most People liked Jim Before the " Accident " in the Class room . His Stock soared after wards .
Like the way you work, it's clean
I've already done a different model using tubes, with an additional electrolyte tank and a simple water circuit to prevent electrodes from dry and to be sure to maintain a perfect dilution and concentration of the electrolyte
Indeed it works very well
The problem could also be the water you could use, i use mineral free water then add the electrolyte to prevent from dangerous vapors that could be created
I also try to found a solution to maintain the PH at 7 after long use
amazing. you guys - its all about playing (making bangs or filling balloons) ..instead of making something that seriously makes SENSE - for example creating a heater to warm the house.
I love the part where he lights the bottle and shoots it off like a rocket.
You mean like a bottle rocket? Yes, I'm being a wise guy, couldn't help myself.
Could have just poured some ever clear into the bottle then emptied it out then lit it. It would do the same thing
Some Jerky.Boys shizz....
@@corneliusgreen4941 and you'd have Everclear to beerbong. There's no other way.
Make two of these electrodes. Place a few inches apart in your water. Connect one to the negative terminal of your battery or power supply, the other to the positive terminal. Hydrogen will come off the negative one, and oxygen off the positive one. You may find more uses for the pure gases.
Good to know. Thanks.
I don’t really know who to ask this but you seem to know what you’re talking about so for the electrolytes In the water could I use baking soda or baking powder?
@@kalebmarlatt4947 Yes. Or just table salt. However, you may see discoloration or residues.
Exactly 🙌

Muy bueno me gustaría ver mas sobre esto como los consumos de corriente y muchos mas proyectos 👍
If you have a hard time with the tool side of things there is probably a Maker Space in your general area where people would be able to help you.
Great little video, no useless talking, clean visuals. Note: HHO is not "Unstable", It is highly flammable but, the worse that could happen if dropped ..... starts turning back into water. HHO [gas state] = H2O [liquid state]. Still very enjoyable video!
best i have seen on this subject. Thanks
This model would be great to try out on a car. Have several that could be connected in parallel to see how many or how large you car responds to. The larger to amount the higher the current draw. Current draw acts like a brake on a car engine. These smaller ones give flexibility to try out what works best.
A fellow invented a car that could run on water. Big Oil didn't like it apparently and the inventor passed away under mysterious circumstances. So if you do decide to go that route, do not do it in secret. It IS possible to make it efficient enough to run a car on water in an over unity manner.
Be careful how you proceed. The pollution we are creating is completely ridiculous and unnecessary. If Big Oil and their bought and paid for politicians run things, we'll still be driving gasoline powered cars 200 years from now. We have the science to make water powered cars and flying machines. There's no reason we are just using modernized Model T's and Wright powered Gliders in the 21st century.
It has to be done by a company or person who can outmaneuver Big Oil and its minions. Don't keep things secret and try to license the technology. You can get rich indirectly. But you have to stay alive and not only demonstrate the technology works but can be created in a very cost effective manner. The US Patent Office is also controlled by Big Corporations. Perhaps finding a country willing to sponsor you, giving them first dibs on the technology, while they offer you protection and finance your work, may be the way to go.
Realize that it is ultimately for the good of the earth and mankind. If you not only demonstrate the technology but make it open source, and get enough devices out there to universities, that may be another way to avoid getting shut down by Big Oil.
@@wordstohisbrideministries5284 interesting, back in 70s there was a news item on the radio. A man had driven his modified mini car across Australia on hydrogen generated from the car. The interviewer asked then if cars in the future would run on water? After this all talk of hydrogen propulsion disappeared, funny that!
@@wordstohisbrideministries5284 You forgot got big electric!!!
Aaahh HHO generators my first UA-cam love.
I've made many using plates and 4 in. pipe. This is a good invention/design. It will work just fine to get better mileage.
For the money this IS the best design ….kudos to you
Apologies for being pedantic but, you used 4 bolts. A “screw” has a slot head for use with a “screwdriver”.
A bolt, which you used has a hex head. That apart, a pretty slick and inventive upload
Phillip Keane I consider myself corrected dude. 👍🏼
He used 8 by the way
As always simple nice and clean. Keep it that ^__^ .
Just a head up: when you make these holes in the washer, why you don't do it in Sam time for rubber and metal ?
Drilling holes in the metal washers generates enough heat to melt the plastic washers if they were stacked for simultaneous drilling.
Besides, the half-depth locating holes need to be drilled individually anyway.
what a great neighbor to have!
Almost the best HHO video ever. Now do the same thing but build a separator model
This is an 8th grade science experiment ramped up. Separating water into it's base elements hydrogen and oxygen. I like how much faster this is than the classroom ...
My teacher showed us that in sixth grade. I guess that we were more advanced?
Or he was just a better general teacher overall.
Very cool! My dad made something like this for the intake on his truck...he got the idea from radial airplanes, he said they used a similar device to keep them from stalling at high altitudes. I think he used windshield washer fluid for the liquid.
I believe that would be methanol injection.
The HHO it's the best thing you can do for incinerate better the gasoline with minimum effort.
Thanks for another easy way to make the HHO generator.
Omg simply perfect. You can do this with a hand drill and a clamp. I think I'll build about 6 of them for my cell.
Your prison cell. 😄
you are an efficient man. I wish to be able to do the same. thank you for making this video, i just subscribed to your channel
Hooked up to a hose flame and saw some good melting clips doing this. How long would rods or water last?

OMG I wonder what the neighbour would look like when they heard like a gun shot... xD
😳
If it's AOC you're going to Guantanamo
Hmm idk but we will find out what mine will say but using a 2 liter bottle. Lol
Awesome idea for HHO gen! Thank you!
Next to connect it to HHO torch
now, That is a thing of beauty!
i use platinum plates from HarD Drives. you can get old ones for almost free.
they come with holes and you just connect them together ever other plate and use plastic washer and shaft to keep the plates from touch each other. drill 1/8" holes if you want to maximize the surface area.
Thats very clever. Is a platinum plate better for this application.
@@mickhurley7305 in redox reactions the electrodes will eventually become corroded. Platinum gold etc resist corrosion much better I suspect. Surface area and conductivity may also come into play.
Two thumbs up for the video👍👍
I'm never going to make this as I'm sure i would kill or maime myself in the process.
Dude, I wasn't even sure what HHO was and was about to forward this video to my son's until he shot that little bottle off like a rocket! Then I was like, oh heeeell no! My teen boys will blow my house up!
This is not fake. It is a simple hydroxy generator. I have built several different designs in the past years. This is a nice one!
Cool. I'll bet your neighbors love you.
Hi, loved the idea, could you provide some dimensions/specific parts that I could use to make this please?
"Fly me to the Moon"
I'm usually not a stickler about how you word things cuz you usually can get a point but you guys in this part of UA-cam with all these little dimensions it is so cool that I'm going to point out that you're not using screws you're using bolts I can see the difference but some people may not be able to and like I said you guys I thought I was pretty handy but some of the things that you guys think up for just unreal
The paint on your house was amazing by the way
You should include the instructions in the description including exact parts and sizes; screws (actually bolts), washers, pvc size, length, etc. Wire gauge, drill bit sizes, etc. What diameters and depth for the grooves. Was that epoxy, glue or electrical conductive gel you used? What type, strength, dry time, etc.

Good video you cut out the boring bits. I made one with a old motor cycle battery as the generator standing in water for cooling & hooked up 3 good car battery in series 😧 "Owl bubbles" it filled buckets in no time - so glad I didn't light it! in doors too. Thanks
Excellent video! 👍
Sounded like a gun went off lol
I thought the same thing cops were probably called lol
Atf start to wonder where is the gun.
Lol just high velocity gas I mean that's all a gun does to
I mean to be fair you could make HHO powered rifles lmao
It's actually showing how a gun works.
Nice! Pretty impressive, just running from a single 18650 battery :)

Beautiful ,,,, Very nicely made
The sound reminds me of the shotgun in half life 2 with the clinking shells!
*I call that the Rust maker 2000!*
NO rust in the making as ran 2 vehicles on it and it actually cleans bores in the motor AND increased MPG
Valeu Guerreiro, ótimo gerador!
Great work brother.. . Nice thanks.
So, how long can you run that thing, hooked up to your car’s (it must be a pre-1986 auto, to avoid newer car’s computer air/fuel ratio monitor system) air intake to the carb, before all the water/electrolyte is used up? Perhaps a test on that would be forthcoming, please? Great job on your precision build! Leaving it in the Mason jar would suffice, to place that jar in your engine bay, with the jar’s cover on, and a tube routed to your air intake. And cut off the gas tank flow by removing the fuel pump fuse, to run your car on just the HHO. It’ll clean your engine’s interior, too!
I did extensive testing of such a system on a 1.3 litre gasoline carburetor engine.Small power gain could be felt on hilly terrain.Engine blew up after 10000 miles of use.Hydrogen will cause metals inside engines to become brittle.After seeing this I think I will try some other experiments.
you could use the o2 output from this or a h2o2 generator cell to pass emissions.
At first I thought you were building a flux capacitor!
Now that is cool. Way to go.
very creative video

Wonderful sir i too had the same idea but I though by doing such a small size electrodes will reduce the production of gas so I did a plate one
Yours is amazing 👌👌✌
Is that the square one that the water stays inside the plate stack ....I like that one
No reverse of it

Thank you very much for sharing this ( finally a compensation for all those crappy tutorials on this topic)
Affordable don't make me laugh the bolts and plastic is cheap ....keep using 18650s but put them in a shed away from hydrogen if battery fails on short circuit boooooooooooom the lots gone 😆😆😆 this guy crazy
very clever, looks great too
If you add a potentiometer to control the voltage, and use a mig welder contact tip for a nozzle, you would have a pretty decent torch. But for safety sake it should also have some sort of flashback arrestor.
