Tomatoes are 95% water. So maybe their intended use is for rocket fuel and not eating.

"i'm prepared because i know i'm an idiot" is a very good line

I love that you include the failures to really show the engineering process. From problem, brainstorm, solution, design, prototype, trial, error, and back to problem. That, coupled with knowledge of mechanical and chemical engineering, makes for increadibly talented work. Idk if this is just a hobby for you, or if you do this kind of work for a living, but so many businesses would be lucky to have your kind of talent.

theme for a video "what is the closest we can get to free energy" Two approaches: Cheapest option (spend as little from the outset) or Unlimited option (Economy of scale)

A few points from someone who has made an oxyhydrogen torch before. 1. Your first setup with the gyroid shape had several issues. When performing a high current electrolysis reaction, selection of the electrode material is very important. I used 316L stainless steel as it was one of the most corrosion resistant. Even then, small amounts of the metal will still be destroyed in the reaction, so plating a thin layer on simply is not going to work, at least for very long. 2. It would probably be useful to experiment with different amounts of spacing between the rings. With too little spacing the bubbles of gas that are being quickly produced will displace the water from the electrodes reducing your efficiency. As you said, too much spacing will increase the resistance and make the device larger overall. 3. The voltage isn't something that bigger is simply better. Higher voltages increase the current yes, but also significantly increases the rate of electrode corrosion. Electrochemical splitting of water requires about 1.8v per cell. Round up to 2v for whatever inefficiencies you might have. Don't increase your voltage much higher than that. You could use a voltage and current regulator to dial these in which will also prevent you from burning out your battery. 4. As I'm sure you know oxyhydrogen burns at nearly 3000K. I'd be very interested in what materials you'd use and how you'd manage to actually use this as a rocket propellent

Guys remember, he has no suicidal thoughts

Thanks for the temp conversions! This really helped me understand the temps you are working with!

I really like the pace of this video! Nowadays (yeah yeah I'm old I guess), where there are shorts showing projects that took weeks to finish in under 60 seconds while they are yelling what they did at you in double-time, this is very refreshing. With your pace it's easy to follow and quite relaxing I have to say. I'm able to think along and I'm not having an existential crisis that I'm also a maker but my projects take months to finish every second - which I have with fast paced videos.

Hi. Can you make small car model (maby just 4 wheels) powered by hydrogen from water.

I made a hydrogen generator years ago. I know a lot about the subject. The best metal to use is platinum. Other than that the only affordable metal that does not dissolve during electrolysis is 316L stainless steel. Not 308 or regular 316 or anything else. It has to be 316L stainless steel. Hydrogen is an acid and it dissolves pretty much any other affordable metal. Also, if you apply more than 2,3 volt to the anode and the cathode you will create heat, and more heat means more resistance and less hydrogen production. To overcome the heat issue, and when you are using between 12 and 14 volts, for example from an old fashion battery charger that doesn't have the fancy electronics, you need to have 1 anode plate, 5 neutral plates that are not connected to anything and insulated from each other, and one cathode, all the plates need to be insulated from each other. This way you can create enough surface area and you can keep the temperature under control as well. If you want to produce large(r) amounts of hydrogen search for dry cell hydrogen generator. A dry cell configuration is more efficient because there is no current leakage, because there is no water at the outside from the hydrogen generator. With producing hydrogen it is all about amperage and how much surface area that the plates have. More surface area means that you can run a higher amperage without heating up the water. When you add sodium hydroxide you need to add it slowly while running the generator so that you can control the amount of current that it draws. Not more current as your power supply can handle. You can also use baking soda. You get even higher efficiencies when you use a high power PWM to run the current. Always make sure that you have a back flash arrestor in your line. You can make one from a 316: stainless steel pipe that is packed with bronze wool, or with stainless steel wool. BUT DO NOT USE REGULAR STEEL WOOL BECAUSE IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE and cause an explosion. The back flash arrestor is there to prevent that your generator violently blows up when your gas comes into contact with a spark or a heat source. Also make a bubbler to which your gas has to run through. This is to make the gas dry. Make sure that that bubbler has a weak spot from plastic film, so that the weak spot will blow out if there is an explosion.

I love this video I didn't even know it was possible to break apart water this easily. I think for a future video on this it might be cool if you could build a little RC boat that used this as the power source, but also refueled itself with more water as it ran.

And this is why I enjoy the videos. Funny, entertaining, straight to the point content. Theres enough effort put into understanding the process, actually proving it work or it doesn’t, and the reasoning without overwhelming the viewer if they’re not well informed prior.

To avoid confusion, there's a difference between electrolysis and hydrolysis. Electrolysis uses electricity to split molecules, while hydrolysis uses water to break down molecules

1:56 not to mention that liquid hydrogen is so tiny that it can escape pretty much anything. Even NASA have some trouble keeping it in tanks.

Great vid Integza. I appreciate you're showing the failed approaches too. a critical part of the process.

"Let's launch rockets!" "Here's some water." "What?"

Don't use a bigger battery. The solution for the high current you're drawing is neutral plates. It looks like you're drawing around 3V with this setup but no shared amperage. If you were to have 5 fully isolated plates(neutral plates) in between then you could use 12V to get 2V at each plate and amperage shares across all the plates. The ideal voltage per plate is 2V so if you have 9 plates you take 10 gaps 2V = 20V input and your ideal spacing is around 2-3mm. You also won't want your drink being too conductive or hot either or that will also cause higher current. I've built 3 generators and have used these tips to make them better each time. Hope this info makes it to you, i'd like to see this project visited again sometime!

I’m a chem engineering student and I’m very interested in design. The switch from anti-gyroid to stacked cylinder was absolute beauty. I’m glad I found your channel

Theme for future video : Coal powered Jet engine // Pinewood powered Jet engine Alexander Lippisch, the designer who help come up with the Me-163 Comet design also designed an aircraft called the Lippisch P.13a & b, it was envisioned to use a 'Kronach Lorin' ramjet powered by coal due to fuel shortages, seems like a perfect experiment for your channel.
