“That’s because I’m also generating chlorine gas.”
Careful, bro!
This made me imagine some post-apocalyptic world like Mad Max, where people are using hand-cranked generators to extract hydroxy gas from seawater in order to make bombs or something
they made the hand crank in Dr. Stone
Look up an electrolysis chart, next get distilled water and a salt that has an anions and cations less reactive then OH- and H+, now you have a perfect mixture of H2 and O2 for that bomb you wanted (from sea wafted you are probably getting H2 an Cl2) (also a hand crank is not need, all you need is a power source)
But ya see, in mad max there is barley any water and it is set in a depleted sea with no water other than "morning dew", thus they just make gunpowder out of the ingredients to do so in the game, and if there was still seawater it will still be collected all into the strongholds and maybe gastown to let it's residences live, and they will hardly even know what half of this stuff is and magnets are definetly gone thus making it impossible to do any of that
@@z1re784 LIKE Mad Max, guy. he didnt mean literally. hell, could apply to Waterworld, which is a lot like Mad Max.
Can you make a cold fire?
This was a very creative way to demonstrate electrolysis, induction, and various other physics and chemistry topics. Thanks for continuing to find ways to inspire creativity in science!
agreed! that short circuit hand crank thing really clicked in my brain for some reason in a way I haven't thought about electricity before
Ummm honestly on RUclips it’s hard to find a good balance of easy to understand and good information, this is really simple and frankly pretty dumb. If you want me to teach you I’ll be glad to.
I’m a physics major at university. While these are very basic concepts, I was commending the ingenuity behind it and how it opens the door for people who are interested in or passionate about science. He provides a blend of simplicity with creativity in his videos that can intrigue someone who is totally new to science or who has been studying it for decades. Thanks for the offer though.

While everyone's studied electrolysis in school, the way you have explained it and made it so relatable is amazing!
By putting in sodium hydroxide, you prevent the creation of chlorine gasses? Didn't know that, very fascinating.

Bro, been watching for years and gotta say outta all scientific channels out there you're my favorite. I always find myself saying "Eff yeah, science!" Everytime I watch a vid. Keep up the knowledge and thank you as well.

Said right after putting a lighter next to it, lmao.
...In the right concentration
@@Ktulu789 yes, but it's still funny how he mentioned that *after* he did it.
This is just electrolysis with extra steps
yup
lmao
Bro you joined youtube 12 years ago... insane🤯
Lmao
Honestly this video is really dumb XD
I love your approach to basic science. Just the fact that cranking your dynamo unconnected vs shorted and demonstrating that the effort changes is truly profound. 😁👍
Love your channel. Seriously, the whole thing and every video you do. Awesome work man.
I love this channel since you learn so much, but I have no understanding of molecules yet, so my brain is day dreaming. Keep up the great work!
Every single of your videos bring a new science fact I never heard of in a fun and enjoyable manner. I love the work you do bro. Bless👍👊
James, thanks for this. It probably did the best job of explaining electricity, electrolysis, and resistance.
0:00 pause right there make sure you instantly pause, it seems like before he recorded
Never disappointed with this channel ! Keep it up Action Lab
love your work, super entertaining and informative

Awesome videos...where I can see the actual physics working..our teachers don't show this to us during school...very interesting videos buddy..thankyou very much..hope I could do that too..
You had me going there. Nice video.
This guy makes almost every video, no matter how simple the topic, so fun. I hoped he would light the gas on fire and he did :D
This gives me an idea. I'd like to see a video in which he has some sort of installation where hydrogen and oxygen collects in a tiny container which he can set on fire so it would work as a candle which is basically generated by hard work.
Action Lab :CORONA!
Water:Aight social Distancing!
This is awesome, I like this idea
06:50 - So, if the whole circuit was superconducting, there would be no resistance to turning the crank, as no "work" is being done heating up the wire? I think something else may be going on other than "work to heat wires". 🤔 Would it suddenly be free to move if it were all superconducting?
EDIT: You could try using a super-cooled magnet sliding down a super-cooled tube to see if this is true. Eddy currents should flow zero resistance with superconductivity. Would be interesting to see the results.
I believe the answer to this is: if all the conductive parts were superconducting, then there'd be no voltage and therefore no electrolysis. Remember V=IR and so if R=0 then V=0 too.
Yea you guys are smart I’m still a kid ;-;
Just 6th grade ;-;
@@JupiterVortex me 2 I'm in 6 loloololol
I'm no expert, and I don't know a ton about superconductors, but here's what I understand. The formula V= IR isn't true for superconductors. Think of superconductors as a circuit that allows current to flow without voltage (once current starts flowing it won't stop). Current needs to be flowing before the circuit is a true superconductor, and then it's value will stay constant. I think that the work in the video is proportional to the resistance, so I think that if he set it up right there wouldn't need to be any work done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually, comes to think about it, magnets have a harder time moving through superconductors due to flux pinning. But then what if the magnets were super-cooled as well as the superconductor? Hmmm... I've never seen that done before.
I know magnets lose their magnetism when they get too hot but no idea whether it enhances the flux pinning effect when super-cooled.

thanks for the video. If you want to light the gas, try to add some dish detergent into the water, it will form bubbles that you can light.
Love your videos.!
this is so awesome seriously

This guy is just a genius... I've studied this countless times back in school. But today I've understood it most
THATS SO FREAKING AMAZING
i love this channel its educational
Finally a video that I can actually understand
Great video!
wow amazing and great way to explain it
6:20 Heart skips a beat as he appears to shock himself.
Also please explain the reason for the current flow in the wire when you turn the crink.
7:00 It is also really really hard to crank because the magnetic field generated in the copper coils by electrons moving around in them is countering the magnetic field of the neodymium magnets. This is Lenz's Law.
Good explanation
Amazing videos.

love your vids I was so happy to find you had made a video on this topic as I had a brainstorm after seeing talk of using water to refuel through the solar system. Have we not been using this as an energy source due to the fact the water is essentially destroyed after this process? if you were to make this gas and combust it, I don’t see how that water would ever come back to be on earth?
Out of the box thinking!
You should totally set that on fire while cranking and just have a manual fire
Cuz like with logs and stuff its automatic n stays on fire, but if you stop cranking the fire turns off
Slave driven stove/camp fires
Love these videos brother, you make it all make sense very easy .... Can you do experiment on crooked radiometer (light mills) if I spelt it correct ? U did a video on 'can I move things with light' so I thought this is what it was :/

During this pandemic i started watching this channel and now i will be making a time machine by next year
Very nice presentation!
I've always wondered how much effort it would be to split water into 2*H2 & O2, and then use them later by extracting the energy released when recombining and do some work.
I mean the actual formula is easy to find on in the Net, but I'm curious how difficult it would be to engineer it to some practical degree.
It could be very nice energy storage option if it can be made efficiently.
For example heat-storage batteries have the issue of losing part of their energy thru heat-conductivity, even if they're well insulated there is still some loss, and even if they're somehow surrounded by vacuum layers, then it's the infra-red emissions generated by a hot body that would take away some energy to the outside.
For comparison H2 & O2 can simply stay in separate containers until there's a need to fuse them back together.
Though I understand it's a bit tricky to keep H2 in a container because of how small the molecule is (but I'm sure there are some tricks to ensure or at least reduce enough the tendency of H2 to slip between the container's molecules - it's not a neutrino after all)
If you can elaborate (perhaps in a another video) on the whole process efficiency it would be great (given how relevant the electrolysis is for many energy related subjects - H2-EV-cars, Stationary Energy storages for the captured Sun energy during the day... etc)
Please make a video " Is it possible to do a home made respirator? " or " water bottle air filter, does it work?"
thanks for all the hard work

can you do a video about peltier thermoelectric device and show how its working?
LoL, not at all what I expected when I read the title XD Nice experiment tho!
This guy helps me pass my tests.
Wow such a cool experiment!!!
Next time can you do with atoms instead?
it would be easier to keep a constant crank velocity if you added a heavy flywheel.
Great Video. :)
Sodium metal also deposits on the -ve electrode, though with that concentration its minimal
Attach the machine to a stationary bike, and make the water disappear!
5:50 try see if you can see the data on a VHS or cassette or even harddrives with that magnetic paper :)
I really need those.
Please make a video showing a way of separating the two gases to pure oxygen and pure hydrogen
Incredible that it actually creates physical resistance.
You used electron splitting to change voltage. Now could you use voltage to split the electrons in say, a DNA strand?
i hope you'll try Acid + Base
The problem in adding almost any salt is that also the ions from the salt are involved in the eletrolisys and, based on some standards, most of the time you don't get pure O2 and H2 but also molecules formed by the ions in solution. From table salt, NaCl, you get clorine gas Cl2 in the positve electrone (cathode) that can combine with the metal of your electrode (if you use for example Iron electrode) if they are not chemically inert, the most important characteristic to look at when doing eletrolisys.
Platinum electrodes are the best, the graffite ones tends to get disolved.

Now you just need large amounts of energy.

Omg he's doing stoichiometry! Literally my favorite part of chemistry! Takes me back to junior yr of high school lol
I learn more in 11 minutes of watching this than 2 hours of science lessons in school
Right
What was that crank thing? Did you make it or can you buy one?
I played with this a lot when I was a kid. I always used NaCl. I never understood why nothing happens with pure water. Maybe a higher voltage is needed.
What was the purpose of adding the salt? An increase in conductivity?
You deserve 100million subscribers...
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Interesting video! If the hydrogen was separated and burned, would the heat energy generated in the burn approximate the kinetic energy used to power the hand generator?
Quarantine is so boring thanks for entertaining us
The ionized water molecules are 1 in a 10¹⁴ so veeery little, in a reversible reaction. This is caused by the ability of water of being at the same time both an acid and a base but only a few part of it. There's a lot to talk about this incredible propriety.
