- I mixed NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) in water and added aluminum foil. The exothermic reaction gives off hydrogen. I cooled and collected the hydrogen in a balloon which I then ignited!

I made Hydrogen in the past with Aluminum Galinstan amalgam in water. I also recently produced more Hydrogen from Aluminum Galinstan amalgam in ethanol water. The Galinstan needs more Indium to be eutectic. The trick is to amalgamate the Aluminum foil with Galinstan and heat up the crucible until it all melts, move it with the back of the spoon (or ideally a glass stir rod or something), and then let it cool.
Sorry to break it to you but this was made six years ago
@@fernandacouto3439 so what? I enjoyed reading his comment
Try adding a tiny bit of platinum
Beautiful demonstration, thank you for showing this to us.
Use a bike pump to fill the oxygen into ballon. Use check valve in between the two containers and then you can carefully attach the ballon at the end without any oxygen from ballon going back into the system 🤙🏼 be careful out there guys. Safety first. Before you do something dangerous, think about, think about it again, and then for good measure think about just one more time to be damn sure your not being stupid lolol
Amazing how much energy is in the initial components: the reaction almost boiled the water while producing a highly inflamable gas
Well Aluminum is a VERY high energy material... only problem is accessing that energy safely.
Hydrogen is not inflammable. I think you meant flammable. VERY VERY VERY FLAMMABLE! Lol
Imagine having the guts to fly in the Hindenburg filled with this stuff ? Cool video.
Reminded me of my old college years doing Chemistry lab experiments.
It's not the impurities in tap water that are heating it up, dissolving NaOH on its own even in distilled water makes heat.
It's not the chemicals in the water that causes the caustic soda to heat up when you first dissolve it - it's just the water itself as the process of dissolving sodium hydroxide is exothermic
I think you're incorrect, I think it is just the splitting of the H2O molecules into H2 + O2, it is a very exothermic reaction and I think that causes the heat to become free, correct me if I'm wrong
@@benjaminboonen8361 Unfortunately, splitting water is highly endothermic. Remember when you blow up the hydrogen in oxygen, it releases a heat in an explosion? Hence forming water is exothermic, so by law the splitting of water is endothermic. If it were exothermic, why would we be using electricity to drive it in the first place?
@@liamanderson6424 but there is no reaction in the dissolving of the soda going on that actually produces heat it's just dissolving. As far as I know, if you sift the aluminum hydroxide out of the water it is still caustic enough to create hydrogen when you add aluminum again, wouldn't it be the aluminum reacting that is exothermic then?
@@benjaminboonen8361 Correct, aluminium reacting with sodium hydroxide is extremely exothermic, which is what wikipedia says. I just got confused because he remarks how the water got warm before he puts in the aluminium. There IS a reaction when sodium dissolves - you're right, it's not a chemical reaction, it's a physical reaction of dissolution. But it does have a negative enthalpy value, thus warming the water.
"The molar heat of solution, ΔHsoln, of NaOH is −44.51kJ/mol. In a certain experiment, 50.0g of NaOH is completely dissolved in 1.000L of 20.0oC water in a foam cup calorimeter"

@@liamanderson6424 glad we've figured that out😂
You could set up a small system to fill a gas bag over the course of several hours in the day. This could then be used for cooking/water heating etc.
That'd be an expensive way to make hydrogen! If it came down to it why not electrolysis? You can pack batteries in a small space as well.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow with the amount of electricity you'd need to electrolize the water, you could just cook on an electric heater.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow Electrolysis is only 75% at best, and using current metals for the electrodes it always cost.
Ben, please ignore the other fools replying to you. To everyone replying YOU ARE ALL MORONS". All you have to do is make aluminum-gallium pellets. Drop the pellets into distilled water, retrieve the gallium at the bottom with a syringe or wait for it to cool after the reaction is done and take it out, you've lost nothing whatsoever and used no energy whatsoever and gained a crap ton of pure Hydrogen. You're welcome.
I think homemade drone and zappelin builders are already liked your video. If anyone need a heat source where they can't make fire, find or produce electricity or don't have sun lights then using this method gonna warm up environment a little for awhile.
It's not just heat to be concerned about. lye has a tendency to desolve cheaper glass. It was wise to go with chemistry glass when conducting chemistry.
It's good you set it all up on the electric box. 😆Humans...
Well done!
Oh, the humanity, and all the passengers screaming around here!
I did this with a coke bottle, aluminum foil and Draino when I was 10, around 1966. I capped the coke bottle with a rubber balloon, tied a green army man and a note with my phone number to the balloon. The ballon floated away carrying the figure for a mile or so until the balloon deflated. I never received a phone call. I should have been wearing a face shield while doing this. Caustic soda solution is very dangerous to the eyes and will cause vision imparement.
I saw this once on tv when I was a child watching Mr. Wizard's World.
very nice explanation, I wonder if I can use this hydrogen to hidrogenate water to drink, do you know? thanks
please can you test pH and ORP values of water after/before h2 gas bubbling?
Hi, where you have a given volume of fluid and salts as we have here. Could you endlessly keep putting alloy in to flask.and replenishment of water,. I'm thinking salts will remain in 1st vessel so remain constant.. . or is there a saturation factor to be considered... Thanks, very interesting video. Thom in Scotland.
cool video
Pinch and release next to a flame to get a rocket like effect
Que bonito experimento
cool !!
What do I do with the sodium hydroxide solution?
Can I use the remaining solution for soap making? Thank you
You should use pem electrolyzer it not need sodium hydroxide just need disttled water.
how do i make a breathable oxygen generator for home use....to stick into my chamber for hyper baric oxygen deployment
this seems all great and good at all points. I do however have a question, "what do I do with the cashed solution once hydrogen has been removed?"
"R" (simply curious) "possible air battery component?"
if you wanna do this at home, and you have access to a lab shop....
Yeah, we all do at home.
Can I use the solution again by adding more aluminum
Is there a way to collect it?LIke in a bottle or something?To use it for something?
Aint that a pad mount step down transformer where you are conducting expreiment on🤔
Can i make HI ACID mixing H2 gas from this reaction and iodine I2 ?
Please I made a balloon and it flew great but after a few hours it landed on the ground I had tied it tight why did it land??? Thank you
Question, how do you dispose of the water in the flasks?
I flush it down the toilet. In a normal sewer system the compound does no harm. Acids and bases, which are otherwise nontoxic (e.g. sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide) can go in a sewer system. In fact, frequently such acids or bases indeed go into a sewer system as drain cleaner. In the sewer waste, these are quickly neutralized and diluted.
@@kd7und Nice, thanks kinda surprising you got back that fast to a years old video haha
Did you do that on top of a transformer cabinet?!?!
Hey thanks for this video and my question is , you has taken boiled water or tap watee
I used tap water for this. Pure water would be better, but it wasn’t necessary for my purposes.
ya doing water to h o o is hilarious as bubbles, BANG, BANG, BANG! need hearing protection for sure
I would put those ingredients in a gas tank and then use the hydrogen for atomic hydrogen welding.
somebody know where they got that tube from?
How can we make helium??? Thanks
Flame Boy just said Hello. -SLIDERS
How do you get rid of the aluminum oxide wastes? Isn't aluminum really bad for aquatic life?
Aluminium is very valuable material in manufacturing
Aluminum Hydroxide is basically an antacid. Wikipedia it. Its sold OTC as an antacid. Its toxicity is extremely low. You could take it to a plant for reforming back into aluminum but they probably wont want it because its not enough for them to "recycle". Id just sit it out and let it evaporate, then scape the "dust" into a ziploc back and toss it. Probably the safest way tbh. It would amount to throwing away expired antacid pills. Literally zero environmental impact.
OK I got the balloon to inflate but it did not float. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is the hose mandatory
You do not want to use dangrous material to prouduce anything.
Why don’t you run a generator with the gas as it is being produced and measure the amount of electricity you get out of it, can you charge a battery with sodium hydroxide, water and aluminum? Also, how much water per pound of sodium hydroxide and how much foil you need in square footage if normal,thickness food grade aluminum is used, important info
to those who are inexperienced (u should do this anyway) NaOH is an extremely strong base. this is because it will pretty much fully ionize in water unlike an equilibrium reaction with something such as baking soda. now An acid or base is not really an acid or a base until it is ionized in water. Pure hydrochloric acid is a gas (not ionized) so we just call it Hydrochloric gas until it hits the water in your mouth and lungs. point being that u should use gloves and goggles when handling these things. i am experienced and i still do this. BELIEVE ME when that shit burns u it is all bad. also it is better to use your NaOH in solution when doing reactions rather than constantly exposing it to air, when u pre mix it in water u know the concentration (molarity = mols/L) and the concentration will not change if stored properly. however every time u open that container of sodium hydroxide powder and expose it to air you are decreasing the purity. this is because NaOH is Hydroscopic (sucks water from the air) so over time you will never know the purity of your powder anymore. that is why it is better to handle in premade solutions of known concentrations for best results. -to the maker of the video- i know u might know these things or maybe not, but please in the future remind others to take these precautions (would be better if u did too, set good examples) someone who does not know this info could really hurt themselves or others. anyway i hope that helps!
@Chong Lor u don't need one. Just two or three weeks of a high school chemistry class
30 or 60 seconds per balloon?!
Get a bigger tank of water, and more foil. More material= more hydrogen per second.
I love how he is making hydrogen with hydrogen cause water has hydrogen
Is this practical demonstrated at higher secondary level of chemistry or at bachelor level
This is secondary school level--what we Americans call "high school."
instead of KOH or else, could you use wood ash and aluminium to get a reaction?
I'm not sure if the wood ash would cause a strong enough reaction.
Amalgamate the aluminum, this method also works very well
Why don't we use this method for producing hydrogen in industrial scale. Will hydrogen peroxide cause some kind of environment effect ??
The energy needed to refine bauxite into pure enough aluminum is considerable…but the hydrogen produced could power a generator, I suppose, so there would be a degree of self sustainability to the process. But you’d have to run that past actual chemists and engineers whether it’s worthwhile to attempt at scale.
This video has nothing to do with "Hydrogen Peroxide".
@@gregorykusiak5424 You are right but the problem is Bauxite is a material needed to make aluminum, to make hydrogen. At this point you're just turning bauxite into Hydrogen - effectively breaking it down over several steps. Unfortunately with this, each step involved requires efficiency to drop. My theory is to use aluminum WASTE and combine that waste with Gallium to break the oxide layer and form the gallium-infused pellets i will make into "inert" stored energy. Since you can store such pellets indefinitely.
Think "Wood chips" with a LOT of energy when combined with distilled water. Also keep in mind that my methodology literally requires zero energy. And that's the key with working with energy. You want to have the least amount of INPUT and maximize your output. Thermal dynamics unfortunately makes this very difficult for us. But I will tell you 100% if I tool 100 empty soda cans and sold them for 'recycling' i've already lost because the amount of time and gas it took me to drive to the recycling place, and that's not even taking into account the processing of the cans, shipping them to a place that can process those, cutting them up and firing them to get rid of the paint or just melting it all down, just so they can be sold back to the consumer again.
At least with my method i'm literally turning aluminum can waste into energy, without using a single bit of energy to do so. So I bought soda to drink, then washed out the can with water, then put Gallium on them, then form the can into many fuel pellets. And when it comes time to need H2 to either cook with or light a fire with or fuel an elec. generator I just put some pellets into some distilled water and then capture it. Free energy.
If you used Aluminum powder would there be a faster reaction ?
Yes. Definitely. As you increase the surface area of reactants, you increase the rate of a reaction.
too fast
Must have given a WARNING at the beginning - "PURE HYDROGEN IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. CHILDREN ADVISED NOT TO DO THIS"
Amazing. I'm dreaming about creating a bigger hydrogen ballon, connected to fishing-wire, to send up a small camera, GoPro, take some video. Fishing wire is 2000m, clouds are 300m.
That would be cool!
@@kd7und Sounds cool.
Did it go well?
NaOH + Al would yield AlOH and Na. How come do you get Hydrogen gas???
Aluminum reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and produces sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) and hydrogen gas as products.
@@kd7und thank you for your response. Could you clarify one thing though? Does it depend on the state of NaOH what product we will get? Because I have always been taught that metal replaces another metal. So if NaOH solid, would we get AlOH, but if NaOH is aqueous we will get NaAlO2???
@@pavellambracht5823 I don’t know the answer to your question. I’ll have to do some research on that.
2NaOH + 2Al + 2H2O → 2NaAlO2 + 3H2
1litre of. Hydrocloride acide 32°. +0.5kg of aluminium =???
How many litres of hydrogène gaz
Please
Try it 😉
@·Mephistopheles · thank you
I thought it suppose to be hydrogyn alluminum chloride..,hydrogyn has a cleaner ignition..less poisen,cheers
What do you do with the waste water?
Paul J you dispose it either by diluting it with water or neutralizing it with an acid (vinegar is a good choice)
@@ryuseikiriya9608 So put vinegar in both of the waters then just dump it down the sink?
@@DuffkaBigNerd The water on the right (clear stuff) is just... water. In other words, inert water. The "water" on the left is a spent solution of base and oxygen-bound liquid aluminum hydroxide. Basically a form of aluminum that's a liquid form of corroded aluminum. Probably some other by-products in there from the foil forming process like magnesium or other shit. Its basically junk, and can pour down toilet safely and flushed or like someone else said neutralizing it with Vinegar.
Tried this at home and found that the balloon would just not inflate - made sure that the system was leak free and yet the balloon would never continuously inflate. Really confusing. Any thoughts??
Was the solution too diluted to cause a rapid reaction? If you used a commercial product that has the key ingredient in it, it may not have a high enough concentration.
The temperature of the water is insignificant because the reaction is exothermic. Aside from that, make sure the full length of the path the hydrogen travels is unobstructed.
It's interesting that the flame from the explosion doesn't light up or reflect from the objects around it. I know it's real but it looks as if it was a poorly made CGI FX that we see in b-movies:)
It probably would if there wasn't already a huge light being generated from a much larger chemical reaction about 100 million miles away.
Hi, excuse me, where is Oxygen gas???? or can you write chemical reaction????
why dont people use aluminium dust or sheets instead im asking as im not sure on how this works and only see foil used
Sorry for the late response. I just used what I had available at the time.
Dust would be a lot more dangerous and volatile. He basically did use "sheets". Sheets of aluminum foil.
At the end, the balloon lift the bottles
Doing it on a high power box
You tried this at home?
imm trying to replicate this for a science project but don't know what ratio of water to sodium hydroxide is needed can anyone help?
I couldn't find exact measurements either. I tried using different amounts until I was happy with the reaction speed and duration.
@@kd7und kinda late but thx I found a optimal ratio it's 1:1:1
Bro I asked for Roblox executor and got this
If water is H2O, where did the oxygen go?
Yes absolutely👍, not water spliting
The oxygen binds to the aluminum when it dissolves to create "Aluminum Hydroxide". This method only yields Hydrogen. Source: pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Aluminum-hydroxide Also: "Aluminum hydroxide is an inorganic salt used as an antacid. It is a basic compound that acts by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions. Subsequent increases in pH may inhibit the action of pepsin. An increase in bicarbonate ions and prostaglandins may also confer cytoprotective effects." Chemical Comp of Aluminum Hydroxide: AlH3 O3
funny part he is doing the experiment ON TOP OF AN OUTDOOR UTILITY TRANSFORMER
Can you inhale hydrogen to get a high pitch voice?
That’s helium.
Yes
What did in primary school, take water in a glass bottle, add lime and alluminium to water, place a balloon on top and keep in sunlight. Lifting effect is almost same as pure H2 and less danger in case of accidental blast.
Could you run a small gas engine off the hydrogen? Can this process be made to be run on a continuous basis?
@johnnythepr1ck then keep adding aluminum as fuel? Not cheap huh?
@johnnythepr1ck but hydrogen based engines raise safety concerns and that is the reason this isn't done?
How long did it take to dissolve that aluminum
Dissolve rate depends on the strength of the acid and the temperature of the solution. Stronger acid and hotter solution will increase the dissolve rate.
Since the reaction is exothermic (it gives off heat) the solution will get hotter as the reaction continues.
For me this took about 5 minutes.
3 minutes nooooo😵😵😵😵😵😵
Hydrochloric Acid & Magnesium Ribbon is a faster method.
So having seen this, I do not see a future in hydrogen cars as everyone mentions. Seems like a rather huge process still and sure it doesn't need electricity which is good, it still needs a supply of material to generate the hydrogen. Great experiment for sure and great science lesson.
dont try ignitinig that much hydrogen at one time ,,if there is any pure oxegen mixed in with it you will probably take a trip to the hospital//
Hes fine relax lol
Are u doubing my ability to survive explsoins
Nah not at all it will just make your hearing a bit messy
Yeah but he ain't gonna mix it with oxygen
No, I could explode a balloon with an oxygen hydrogen mixture in my hand and I’d be fine, it’s pretty low energy
2Al + 2NaOH + 6H2O = 2Na[Al(OH)4] + 3H2
Well.. I think i did something wrong caus this took like 20sec when i did it a minute ago 😂
A little risky to do this on top of high voltage transformer !
How else is this black magic going to work!
Or just add calcium to water.
Muriatic Acid would have broken down the aluminum as well.
Yup ... extreme reaction.
Christ! It's sodium hydroxide, not nitro!
man ca u eat that caustic soda
Lol!😂u want to eat it!
Noooo dont put the gang in the acid. :(
ok so it can be done so now SOLVE the issue to make enough hydrogen to run in a car engine! someone MUST be smart enough to do this then we wont be reliant on oil!
instead of foil one can use electrodes with a low electric current
Tinfoil hats are not made of aluminum.
Silk has been around for a while.
Zn+hcl is good and easy than
Online school 😅
Thanks for the information but I’m I the only one that noticed he did this all on an electrical transformer?
I figured if I'm going to do something dangerous, why not up the ante? :)
to many nerds here oh no
WHAT IS THE MIXTURE IN THE FIRST FLAST:= THE BLACK ONE????? AND: IF SOMEONE PUT THE BALOON IN HIS MOUTH AND DEFLATED IT IN HIS OR HER GUT: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?? DOES IT CAUSE UNCONCIOUSNESS OR WHAT?????? AND: WHAT IST HE REAL BENEFIT OF ALL OF THIS??? HOW CAN WE USE THE RESULTING HYDROGEN TO OUR BENEFITS ???
That is not hydrogen.
Is this possible?can react without electricity.
Year that's a nice ider but seems stooped wen mixing a Chemical reackshon with water becouse you get little bit of the reackshon in the gas? No atac it's still good ider if battrys gos out, then doing brakeing bad shit word be useful cidding around, still like the ider if it, defenly putting it on my playlist for my self.
bruh...
but there should be also Oxygen gaz!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE OXYGEN ??????????????????????? WHY YOU DID NOT SAY ANYTHIGN ABOUT IT? ELECTROLYSIS OF WATER MUST ALOS PRODUCE OXYGEN======== CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
"let's do it safely outside....hmmm this utility junction box that's filled with who knows what kind of cables or even gas lines looks safe enough!" Never stops amazing me what these guys pull and say. Like "don't try this at home, even though I'm fucking doing it right inside mine!" Clowns 😂
