Production of Oxy hydrogen

How can we produce oxy hydrogen?

Oxy hydrogen can be produced by a simple electrolysis method. When the electrical current of high amps is passed in to the water mixture (distilled water + baking soda) in the presence of stainless steel plates with the current, then oxy hydrogen will be produced.

On electrolysis:- 2H₂O + energy à 2H₂ + O₂

Construction

This electrolysis method can be done easily. To make it in a simple way we need some equipment

1.  1.A 12v and 32 amps DC battery

2.  2.A air tight container

3.  3.5 no’s of stainless steel plate

4.  4.Thick copper wires

5.  5.Distilled water

6.  6.Baking soda

7.  7.Pressure gauge

8.  8.Rubber pipes for passing oxy hydrogen

9. 9.Ammeter

1010. Voltmeter

The 5 no’s of stainless steel plates were placed one after another with a gap in between two plates. Two thick wires of positive and negative were taken and that is connected to the stainless steel plates as (+,-, +,-, +) so that there will be 3 positive plates and 2 negative plates. Otherwise we can take that as 3 positive and 3 negative. The wires were well insulated to the plates so that there will no intake of water in to that insulation and also the water won’t touch the copper wires.

Three holes were made on the cap of the air tight container 2 holes for the inlet of copper wires and the other for the outlet of the oxy hydrogen. That hole has been fitted to a tube for the transmitting the oxy hydrogen. Distilled water with baking soda is mixed and poured in to the airtight container and the stain less steel plates were immersed in to the mixture. The tube is connected to a pressure gauge, so that the pressure of oxy hydrogen coming out can be calculated. The voltmeter and ammeter are connected to the next end of the copper wire. The connection from the voltmeter and ammeter is connected to the battery with a switch.

Due to the electrolysis process the stainless steel plates with electric current separates the oxy hydrogen from the distilled water. This oxy hydrogen can be stored in a cylinder.
