Pure water (distilled) is a very poor conductor of electricity. That good ole salt always does the trick. TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) meter work by testing the conductivity of the water. no conductivity, no dissolved minerals/solids. Good conductivity , lots of dissolved solids. Now you know why sweaty hands conduct so well. Nice video.
The bubbles coming off the electrodes in the water are O2 and H, you can capture this in a test tube then make it burn with a match and get a nice pop. Don't use a huge bottle though as it is very explosive. To capture the gas, but a test tube of water over each electrode, as the tube fills with gas it will empty the water. The tube that fills first is the hydrogen and the slower one is the oxygen.
@@tammizeevi3995 Well, hmm. I don't know I'm not a chemist. I just learned about it in grade school. I thought the salt just got denser as the water molecules broke apart. I would trust you more than me.
Salt is not producing the energy but conducting it as a metal with charges Na+ Cl- .on the periodic table Na is located on the left side and Cl on the right due to the need of valence electrons, in this case Cl requires one and why has a charge of minus (-1) to complete the octon rule, so in other words Cl consists of 7 valence electrons. Salt is also considered a crystal salt due to the properties just mentioned.
I do hear you, but I think the info is all in good faith, just adding to the video in the commentary section, like anyone is allowed to do, unless the comments are disabled. I wouldn't have taken offence if I did a video without explanation. Everyone's contribution is good I feel and creates a community spirit. @@juliedunken1150
Fascinating... I have seen this technique used for arc welding... almost like the salt water solution servers as a sort of capacitor to store energy and release it at the contact transience...
Guys the chemistry behind that is quite simple. NaCl is dissolved in H2O...red wire is the anode and black is the cathode which leads us to following half reactions: Anode: 2 Cl- __to__ Cl2 + 2e- Cathode: 2 H2O + 2e- __to__ H2 + 2OH- Overall reaction: 2Na+ + 2Cl- + 2H2O __to__ Cl2 + H2 + 2Na+ + 2OH- (dissolved Sodium hydroxide_NaOH) So the evolving gases are H2 and Cl2, BUT: since the products of the reaction are not separated by a membrane, the Cl2 gas reacts with 2OH- to form OCl- (Hypochlorite) + Cl- + H2O Thus it is somehow dissolved Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) Thank me later... Aww.. I have forgotten to mention that O2 is NOT evolved since the oxidation potential of Cl- comes first, so Cl2 is formed. To form O2, all Cl- have to be removed by gaseous Cl2. But things get complicated as Cl2 is not only removed but also reacts to Chlorites which are soluble in water. So ClO- is involved, possibly also chlorates and perchlorates which makes it hard to remove chlorine from the water.
Why is it a good conductor of electricity? Salts barely dissociate in water because they contain weak bases and acids so I’m a bit confused because they should have few ions in the solution????
I saw this on the Internet before...besides, the technique of this experiment and the brightness of the bulb is super cool! Metal and salt water is a conductor of electricity..
I had made this experiment on a video i have on RUclips in late 2012 using 230v AC and an 100w light bulb. At least with resistive loads it works as good on AC as with DC although it has much higher resistance than a copper wire to power any actual load with it,it also makes Chlorine and Hydrogen gases so the experiment must be reproduced in a well ventilated area.
@@brandonjohnson1611 I like how you sound so sure of yourself and telling others to brush up on the laws. When in fact you are so wrong! You can most certainly split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Maybe you should brush up.
To all readers: this is a nice experiment but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with 'free energy' and should be on a different channel, such as 'Simple Science Experiments Teens Can Do At Home". The poster uses a source of DC current (also known as MAINS AC) that is, a transformer, to bridge a connection between a copper wire and a light bulb. THAT IS ALL. The salt water is a great conductor and, unlike the copper wire, it can be destroyed and consumed to conduct the energy coming from the MAINS AC (it is converted to DC by an Inverter; the poster wrongly calls this a Transformer. He should call it an Inverter so there is no confusion), through the salt water, into the light bulb filament; the RESISTANCE in the light bulb's filament is MUCH HIGHER than that of the salt water or the copper wire, so it GLOWS. That's about it.
Gort Sneeley at what point does this experiment intend to show free energy ,its a simple experiment showing salt water as a conductor. just as it says in the title. What is it with your knuckle head questions?
This guy seems to be a welder at heart. I wonder if this setup can be used as a cheap (although dangerous) arc welder. Amperage could be adjusted with different light bulbs.
This is not DC Voltage it's AC voltage, as DC does not oscillate as shown by the Hz meter . Other than that pretty cool experiment. Oh the bubbles are HHO gas and is highly explosive in large quantities, so no letting this gas get to thick, sparks around this will cause it to ignite, so do it in a well ventilated area. Best Wishes and Blessings Keith.
Electric Experiments Roobert33, I have a question, I can see that on the bottom part of the bulb it connects to the wire. I would like to know how do you connect those wires to the bulb to make the two poles of the circuit (the positive pole and the negative pole). I am studying your experiment because I want to implement in one of my projects and I do have all the equipment, but the bulbs that I have they are regular lamps. It has that metallic bottom to cover the wires I guess and I was wondering how I would be able to separate it. I understood how your experiment works and how it's done, but I still have this doubt of how to connect the positive and negative poles. Thank you
I was just reading about icon bonds in my textbook. It mentioned that solutions containing dissolved ions are electrolytic, and that the polarity of water interferes with ionic bonds. So... I went to check for a RUclips video of this and voila!
i dont fucking know maybe better technology for your ungrateful ass who is apparently using a phone. you asswipe wont be able to even use a phone without science and technology
Robert 33 you pretty much created a switch of saltwater, that provides energy to right? The machine where the wires are initially plugged,what´s the name of that machine?
He didn't create a switch. Electricity is the movement of ions. He added distilled water at first(not tap water otherwise it would have conducted electricity), then afterwards he added salt(table salt), the salt dissolves as ions in the water. Now the water conducts electricity. Also, the machine in which he plugs in at first is the source (AC maybe), it provides different voltage for different slots.
Just to get a quick chemistry lesson in for myself, what causes the water to turn yellow? Is it a chemical reaction? Or just just residue from (what looks like) the nail carrying the negative charge? Or am I just way off? Lol
If there is a change of colour or bubles means that a chemical reaction is taking place. In this case you can see bubbles around the nails which is showing that a reactions is taking place generating hydrogen. The second reaction is shown by the change of colour. Water becomes yellow because the sodium is shown in the form of lye.
It is possible though to use salt water to create electric current.u just have to have a piece of copper and a zinc washer to create a chemical reaction
brotherly advice only..first this makes unsafe for the guy playing with rod. it's makes no sense how could you light a bulb without AC/DC? anode is connected to the positive side of the bulb then you used a liquid with added salt as a conductor for cathode then the incandescent lights on. this makes your life complicated why don't use a real conductor for the cathode. this does not prove anything as you are creating an arch flash that may endanger your life and the other person besides you. you may use all forms of conductivity such as: silver,copper,gold,aluminum,iron,steel,brass,bronze,mercury,graphite,dirty water,even concrete and also your body to light up the incandescent bulb with AC/DC. Materials with high electron mobility are called conductors... So be safe in doing such experiment..
In Burma, the government always cut off electricity and we don't have electricity most of the days. When I watched this movie, i really would like to try it out . Just water and salt and electric light bulb and what is the red and black wire called? Where does it connect to? THere is something at the back ? Is it voltage? Oh yea, there is iron nail too. Is it really iron nail? Cos it doesn't look like nail in the movie? Can you please answer my question? THanks a lot!!!!!!!
Anyone who is like "omg SO COOL!", yea...try it yourself! There's a battery behind it, it just defuses into the water! Your looking at it backwards! Try it yourself, WITHOUT THE BATTERY!!!
Would you happen to know if a running hair dryer does actually pose an electrocution hazard in the bathtub or is that a myth? Hair dryers without GFCI actually do keep running when submerged in bath water and since a human in the bathtub does not complete or contribute to the electrical circuit, why is there a risk for electrocution?
i thought the salt will be the source of energy but I realize in the video that saltwater can be use just for conductivity. I can do experiment too "electricity with Teddy Bear beside me" ^_^ btw one thumbs up for you.
How were you able to produce such high voltage? I'm doing an experiment about using saltwater and electrodes are magnesium and graphite but it only generates 1.6V (one cell)
So dose this mean this can be done with Ocean water? I take it the volume of the water has some kind of part in this experiment. What would happen if this same experiment was done in ocean water off a harbor dock?
Hey! Good question... I'm curious to know the answer to this too. But three months have passed and no replies. Hopefully this will help boost anyone to respond.
I believe it is the energy produced from the electrons jumping from the rods atom valance onto the salt water conductor. Similar to static electricity but this is just way more power.
This is really cool but I thought electricity in the air creates plasma, so why is there fire. Is it because the electricity going through the salt water divides the H2O bond and create hydrogen gas. Is that possible in salt water? But there was no bubbles. Explain!
Would you know how to calculate the resistance of a distilled water mixed with salt? How can I reach a certain resistance in a solution of salt and distilled water?
+Roobert33 But how will it generate DC voltage rather using DC to power bulb.. Actually instead of using traditional electrolyte solution you are just using Salt water.
The arcing against the water is very cool!!! I should have expected it, but still surprised me when it happened.
Thank you. Salt of the earth and light of the world does make sense now.

Exactly
I was thinking the same thing.
Guys the chemistry behind that is quite simple.
NaCl is dissolved in H2O...red wire is the anode and black
is the cathode which leads us to following half reactions:
Anode: 2 Cl- __to__ Cl2 + 2e-
Cathode: 2 H2O + 2e- __to__ H2 + 2OH-
Overall reaction: 2Na+ + 2Cl- + 2H2O __to__ Cl2 + H2 + 2Na+ + 2OH- (dissolved Sodium hydroxide_NaOH)
So the evolving gases are H2 and Cl2, BUT: since the
products of the reaction are not separated by a membrane, the Cl2 gas reacts
with 2OH- to form OCl- (Hypochlorite) + Cl- + H2O
Thus it is somehow dissolved Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO)
Thank me later...
Aww.. I have forgotten to mention that O2 is NOT evolved
since the oxidation potential of Cl- comes first, so Cl2 is formed. To form O2,
all Cl- have to be removed by gaseous Cl2. But things get complicated as Cl2 is
not only removed but also reacts to Chlorites which are soluble in water. So
ClO- is involved, possibly also chlorates and perchlorates which makes it hard
to remove chlorine from the water.
