Today I am going to tell you about batteries running on hydrogen and also about how to make a do-it-yourself oxygen-hydrogen fuel cell. Attention! The experiments in this video were done by professional chemist with all safety precautions. Without a proper knowledge of the safety and basic principles of electrochemistry I don't recommend you to try this experiment at home.

I’m so glad you didn’t stop doing the voice over. Your English is quite good now. Thank you!
Yeah, it's very good. I've never had an issue understanding him, though.
Very good English, better speaker than myself, and I only speak English!
The voice is why I watch
It's actually a pretty good voice
I don't think it's his voice
Thoisoi: i make renewable energy
Oil company : say goodbye to the world son
Say goodbye to the elite fools in the world
@@chrisdaldy-rowe4978 Dream, boy.
Petrochemicals have many uses other than making gasoline, diesel and other types of fuels. I'm a big advocate for hydrogen for a fuel source and with the help of solar power to provide the energy to create hydrogen by fracturing water makes it less costly over time to produce fuel cell hydrogen.
The idea of hydrogen fuel cells isn't new. The problem is transportation of hydrogen. It is the smallest molecule, hence it penetrates every polymer (so far) and thus is unable to be transportet. Just think of a balloon filled with helium, it won't hold it for a very long time.
The Oil Industry is so paranoid about this "renewable energy" it would be easier just to "Doc Brown" their asses for $100million. They would be so happy that the device is a phony, they wouldn't worry about ya anymore, cause luckily any type of corporate embarrassment is worth Billions to not give it a second thought. xD
your english is getting way better! i remember when you wanted a voice over! 10/10
I'm pretty sure this is a voiceover, but I'd love to hear from the author himself, anyhow great project nonetheless
My name a Borat.
He STILL needs one. Maybe he can get the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show. I' am REALLY interested in this, bu his accent makes it damn hard to understand WTH he is talking about.
@@johnbrowne3518 Maybe subtitles might help you?
@@juleklO He is original autor from video where he is speaking on russian. Videos which gain many views honored to translate and voice it to english. Russian channel name is Thoisoi.

Fun fact: Hydrogen is one of the most energy dense fuels, but density makes it less cool.
got to do with being the simpliest element.
It is extremely inefficient!(in terms of producing it)
@@beavischrist5 they dint found efficient way to produce hydrogen, they found more efficient way to milk their cash cows for taxes....
@@beavischrist5 probably using solar power to generate hydrogen, maybe that is the future, instead of batteries you store it as hydrogen and oxygen
@@thapelomashaomasemola7922 just as long as you keep the 2 in seperate containers . should be relatively safe.
storing them in the same container though and you may have some problems... not just of the explosive type either.

"I used electricity to produce electricity."
@MichaelKingsfordGray wtf is wrong with you??
@MichaelKingsfordGray ?
converted electricity to hydrogen to produce energy
🤣🤣🤣
yes but the electricity used can come from a renewable source
Hyundai and Korea are doing alot of research and experiments in relation to hydrogen power plants, Korea are making a city powered on Hydrogen as we speak
@Punchy the vehicles already exist (hyundai and toyota are really pushing it with the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai) and have for some time now but the city conversions are still going, as for production, its hard to say but I would definitely guess its from natural gas reformation as thats the most common way of mass producing it.
@Punchy I just looked up their current plans, they plan on using petrochemical hydrogen (so the original way they mass produced Hydrogen from fossil fuels) and then once the infastructure is in place and proven to then make it carbon neutral. pretty cool and if it works it will definitely put the push on other countries to add hydrogen pumps at fuel stations or other stations
I enjoy your voice, man. Sometimes I put your videos on when I'm struggling with sleep, and the topics you discuss along with that voice are super relaxing. Thanks you!
I'm addicted to your videos. I used to hate chemistry in my school days but now I realize it's quite fun if you master it. Keep working, you gonna get an Oscar for sure
The white butcher coat is a smooth touch…
OMG this is the first time i have seen your face and you look nothing like how i pictured.
You look way way younger than i expected .
Keep up the great vids and thanks for sharing them with us:)
Love this channel, and I will agree with the other who have commented on your improvement in English. No need for voice overs, your English is quite good!
one of the most interesting channels out there, even through i was never one into chemistry or any sciece matter of fact, i still love to watch your videos
Dude, you are the best! The world needs med like you, especially now. Thank you for existing.
I really love the production of your videos. They aren't boring. Its just something about how you show your experiments. So eye catching.
Later in news : Russian boi suddenly dissapear in strange conditions
In Russia, flying object identify you...
In US, everything does.
Why? Hydrogen fuel cells are not new.
Always look forward to seeing him interact with his cat at the end of each video. Nice touch.
I am Brazilian, I am marathon of your videos, your English is so easy to understand that I am very happy to learn again about my greatest curiosities !!! thank you very much !! and a big hug
I was vaccinated with Sputnik V for covid. Now I talk like this guy, and I also hunt bears in my free time.
This made me laugh 😂
Shit I drank out of the garden hose as a kid so anyone who’s done that has no need 😂
Another excellent video! Thank you for the fantastic work you do.
Glad you use your own voice rather than a computer generated voice. I can understand perfectly. The accent gives the video a touch of class. Love your channel and videos. Hydrogen is still a very interesting element. It’s amazing that our modern day society still hasn’t really realized hydrogen’s potential. In effect you could fill the tank up with water and let electrolysis do the rest.
....you need electricity to do electrolysis... Our society pretty much realized hydrogen potential and in fact research is ongoing on the subject
His voice has become kind of his brand like that of nurdrage and his modified voice.
Always get something new to learn from you! I had only read about hydrogen fuel cells, never knew inner workings look so relatively simple. Thanks man! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for making this! More people need to know about the power and versatility of hydrogen
Excellent, this series is so useful. Don't ever stop!
What great timing! I'm studying about fuel cells right now 😄 thanks 👍
I'm so glad you made a video on this subject beacuse I think theres lack of videos about fuel cells on RUclips.
I'd love to be enthusiastic, but I was reading the predictions of "the hydrogen economy" 25 years ago in popular electronics, and the only thing that's changed since then is the availability to the hobbyist. Excellent demonstration though, your channel is one of the greatest science channels. You're number one of the top three for me.
Hydrogen may make a marginally acceptable energy storage medium, but it it not an energy source. There is no free H2 available on this planet, it all has to be produced. Electrolysis for H2 production is very inefficient. Most H2 used today is produced by steam reformation of methane, which also produces a lot of CO2.
@@fredsasse9973 Fred....what do you think of using Hydrogen fuel cells to store energy?...between solar, wind, hydro....it dies not seem that creating the energy is the issue..Storing it, however? If we used the renewable sources to do the electrolysis, would using H.F.C.'s as storage mediums then be sufficiently efficient? I guess it does not matter, if there is still limited amounts of raw materials, to construct batteries or fuel cells
@@davidwalker8754 I don't think you can store hydrogen in a fuel cell, rather the fuel cell uses hydrogen to produce electricity. The hydrogen that a fuel cell uses has to be stored in some other fashion (like in a pressurized tank). In any event, I think using the energy produced by wind, solar, etc. to produce hydrogen (i.e. through electrolysis) is a huge waste of energy (you never get back anywhere near the energy you expend to make hydrogen through conversion via a fuel cell). It's better to store the wind & solar energy in some other fashion.
they already had extremely efficient ways of getting it from water, its been suppressed. they had water powered cars in the 80s, us pentagon refused the guy public patents, said only private and military use no exceptions. guy held out, died in a restaurant meeting with alleged investors from belgium. was even on mainstream news at the time, can still watch the clips. Stanley Mayer. He was not the only one, just one example.
Thank you for the practical explanation of cost versus efficiency versus mileage of fuel cells.
Your voice makes your channel special.
Very informative. You’ve gone down the rabbit hole to be very educational. Just watched a Mirai owner who said it only gets 238 mi per fill- up & claims 330 mi. Thanks!
This is amazing to me. Imagine how different the world would be if we put in the money and time to this. If there are no waste products from the elements
Very nice video! I learned alot about fuel cells I never knew before!
I have always wondered how they worked, it will be cool when they go mainstream!
AWESOME WORK MAN!!!! AND THIS SCENARIE IS AWESOME TOO!!!
Your accent makes the experiments sound dangerous, exciting, yet official. I LIKE!
Im most impressed about the fact that you found a supplyer selling such a small quantity of nafion! I’m searching a couple of months now finding nothing but extravagant prices. 😱
I used to work in a 3 MW chlor-alkali plant using 160 - 1 meter x 1 meter Nafion 969 membranes to produce ~40, 000 gallons (151,200 liters) per day of 15% wt. NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite). We turned salt water into bleach/pool shock. The basic cell was anode-nafion membrane -cathode (we ran 2x60 in series and one 40 stack). One one side of the membrane you would produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas. On the other a saturated heated brine solution, which would get chlorinated and lower pH to 4.5. The liquid sodium hydroxide would overflow into a reactor and the produced chlorine gas would be bubbled through the cooled solution, absorbing it, and producing NaOCl---> bleach. Which would be used for bleach, pool, shock and water treatment. Interesting project. Think it was bought up by Siemens! Under the patent Chloromat!!!
Really enjoyed this👍
Excellent vid. Thank you.
Ethylene glycol fuel cells have one main benefit over HFC's in using liquid fuel, but also have additional benefits like being more efficient, and using cheaper catalysts.
I hadn't heard of these. I'm reading about them right now. Thanks for the tip
Thank you for taking the effort to give it an English voice-over. I'm from the Netherlands and I really like your high quality content! Would have been a shame if it was only available in Russian which I cannot understand, sadly enough :(
you can always learn some Russian online toch?
Thank you for the experiment.
It is remarkable the focus you put in the scientifical method, Awesome!
Thank you, I enjoyed this video
Your videos are really becoming top tier. Nilered, nurd rage, Cody's lab, etc. You are doing science with the big boys. You guys should start a super vilan mad scientist group. Throw the guy From Explosions and Fire/Extractions and Ire as the wild card.
I love your videos man keep making them!
Excellent video, mate!
Very good demo and procedure! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the very interesting upload! Stay as you are! Your channel is a youtube classic.
1969, my Science Fair project was on using CO from auto exhaust as fuel for cell. Platinum got poisoned too quickly, though by the CO and CO2. I didn’t have knowledge or technology to reach temperatures high enough. Anyway, really cool. Appreciate you and your channel.
That is awesome and extremely interesting thank you
this must be one of the highest quality video about renewable energy I watched
Wow, I am blown away! Superb video!
Very detailed and easy to understand I appreciate your videos
finally!! the face behind the much welcome videos about the rare chemical compounds!! Hi! a watcher from Brazil :)
[I didn't mean to leave 3 comments] The main problem with PEM (Proton Exchange Membranes) is that they self destruct over time.
One of my instructors worked for Ballard Fuel Cells (a 5 minute drive from my home) making a new type of PEM. Six months work on his PhD produced 9g of powder.
PEM fuel cells form Ozone from oxygen within the chemical/electrical structure of the PEM polymer. The ozone then attacks the bonds of the polymer.
To the current date (Jan 2021) Ballard, and by extension Honda have not been able to overcome this problem. The research I was doing to improve Fuel Cells was merrily bought up by Exxon Mobil and put on the back shelf to collect dust. Thanks Big Oil you fux!
The first part sounds interesting, the second part sounds like utter nonsens.
Why should "Big Oil" hide a technology wich could ensure their existens via enabling the mass use of hydrogen fuel cells and therefor the mass usage of hydrogen, of wich the bulk of the production still consists of methan reformation (and we all know who is providing said methan)?
@@mandernachluca3774 Fair enough. I know for a fact the business was bought out by Exxon Mobil and employees, such as myself, had the option to convert shares.
As to what exactly EM is doing with the research now is of course beyond my knowledge.
The process as far as we had taken it was still considered parasitic to the energy output of the fuel cell. I should mention that the system I was working on was an add-on to a fuel cell and not the primary stack itself. We were working on the 'fuel' side of the issue.
We looked at medical oxygen production and did side work on methane separation and hydrogen purification equipment as well.
I would like to believe that corporations have the best interests for humanity when it comes to alternative energy research however I fear it might not be so.
Your point about oil being a source of hydrogen is of course correct. I can put 20 kg of hydrogen (bound up in gasoline) in my car and transport it around safely. A high pressure hydrogen tank can contain about 1-2 kg of hydrogen in a very dangerous form (highly pressurized) in a very expensive tank. The 'Green' future for transportation that I envision is electric vehicles powered by supercapacitors charged with electricity produced by fusion reactors. Should be 10 years away....
I am a native English speaker. Your accent is quite thick but your English is technically flawless. Well done, sir.
@Marko R I can read a little!
WoW, great video .
So complex!
Your channel is one of the fun science channels, keep making videos. Also love your voice tbh, no homo.
It is quite easy to convert a hydrogen fuel cell into a rechargeable battery by removing the platinum and filling the cell with a saturated salt water solution. Charging the battery will electrolyze the NaCl into sodium hydroxide on one side and HCl on the other. The two chemicals can convert back into salt water by passing a proton through the Nafion membrane and an electron through the circuit. It is far more energy dense than hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure and needs no expensive catalyst. You just have to make sure that the housing and electrodes can handle such strong chemicals.
You did a splendid work. It was very informative.
Awesome stuff! Where can I buy some of the nickel sponge sheet or is it called something else?
First time seeing your face
Nice experiment! You mentioned green hydrogen... Maybe photolysis and artificial leaves tells you something? It would be great to see an experiment on this! The only RUclips videos on this topic are from industries only showing the final product.
Great informative video again. Well done
Great stuff as usual!
Slowly climbing up to that million subscribers i see, haha
Great video, thank you
I'll show you how to make it yourself.
Find platinum.
Me: ah, easy.
Thoisoi : just a voice narration.
Thoisoi2: you have killed your introvert.
Finally A Video That Teaches You How To Build One!!!.
Even if your English doesn't sound near native, it's still quite understandable and gives personality to your channel.
In my opinion, keep it up as it is.
I'd love to see you install this fuel cell into something!
LOL in Europe here are some cars already using hidrogen and a contract between countries to make about 100 fuel stations in the next few years. So this will be the next generation of energy
Reading the other comments here. Your English language and vocabulary is excellent. And that accent, is possibly the finest accent for science videos we could ever hope for
I'm so glad I was suggested this video
Love the way you explain
The voice over is very good, please don't get anyone else to do it.
Well this topic just goes over my head and also other fuel cells mechanics
It'd be great if you contribute a video to only cells and batteries
Hey there Thoisoi. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make your videos in English to teach us awesome and entertaining things about science. I know it isnt your first language and english can be hard to learn, so I really wanted to take the time to thank you. Its not appreciated enough.
It took me a while to get enough exposure to his accent to be able to understand. But I absolutely love these videos. Extremely informative.
love to see you back bro ❤❤
Outstanding research
Awesome to see Applied science as a patron
I like listening to your voice. It lets me know I'll enjoy the video.
My local dealer doesn't sell Titanium coated in iridium and arsenium oxide... I'll have to ask my neighbour! 😃 A part from that I love your videos!
Great video. Renewable energy is definitely the goal.
Great video thanks
Great. Please make more videos on the electrochemistry wonders.
Awesome explanation,
I would request to make video on Aluminum batteries.
Which is more cost effective.
always your have great presentations.
Ok so I just started watching the first video I've seen from your channel ( "Tin - A metal that destroys itself" ), and you used the Citadel's alarm bell sound from Half-Life 2 for the warning. I have no idea who you are, or how good your videos are, but I am genuinely required to subscribe to you just for using that sound because it's probably my favorite one in the entire game. I'm commenting this on your most recent video in hopes that you'll see it and/or respond in some way.
i love how backyard scientists were thought of as crazy for thinking hydrogen was a good idea. and now it’s becoming feasible
When? Hydrogen and the fuel cell have been under investigation for at least 20 years in terms of use in cars.
The biggest issue with hydrogen is storage and safety. That’s what has always prevented large scale acceptance. It is much more dangerous to handle than liquid fossil fuels such as petrol.
Chinese and Australian researchers have recently been making big strides into using ammonia as the storage medium, and then having that converted to hydrogen as needed. A much safer option than strapping a cylinder of hydrogen under the car...
What people look at as dumb is the thousands of "imventors" that put an electrolysis cell into a car and claims infinite energy.
Now this video has subtitile, you can't imagine my pleasure ^^ ! Tksm
This man about to commit soupdiside by 15 shots to the back.
Nickleback is going platinum.
Bad joke - awesome work! I'm inspired!!
Your voice is amazing I gotta watch this again
I think this is not really possible to practically DIY - but your video is a very good demonstration of how the principle works.
I have wondered about the possibility of using hydrogen for energy-buffering solar and wind power plants. It seems like it has great benefits in terms of being very cheap to expand as much as you need. The fuel cells will be expensive - but storing gas is cheap in simple containers.
The best solution might be to have a smaller buffer of high-efficiency batteries to cover expected daily variations + hydrogen storage for storage of longer surplus and emergency use when for example extreme weather events happen.
It seems like such variable-output power plants would be naturally well suited to also be hydrogen/oxygen production. There is always going to be times where you have surplus in that kind of system - and it is better to cheaply store this surplus (electrolysis equipment is simple) than let it go to waste, even if the efficiency is not so great if you want to convert it back to electricity again.
Thoisoi: *Made a Hydrogen Fuel Cell*
Me: Oh, I want to do it too
Also Thoisoi: *...platinum*
And brother you'r Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant,
In since. I hope a good future for you.

This looks cool!
How much v and a can be used on the square shape pem membrane if you were to create hydrogen oxygen with this as in last experiment minute 14? Or what do you recommend to use for that to create oxygen from pure water?
Most commercially produced hydrogen is made from methane, not water, and gives out as much CO2 as when you burn methane. Hydrogen is not really an energy source, it is rather an energy storage medium, like a battery, but, even though a bit less efficient than li-ion, the energy density makes a huge difference. I would like to power an e-bike with a hydrogen fuel cell. Great video!
