We Made This Simple DIY Hydrogen Generator for Just a Few Bucks!

  • Here's the complete step-by-step process for making a simple hydrogen generator. Even a novice DIYer can make this!

    Take steel sheet

    cut it into 2.5″*2.5″ pieces

    make holes at the centre

    connect them as shown in the diagram

    Place it inside a plastic bottle

    Make a hole on the bottle and connect a plastic pipe.

    Connect lead wires

    Use silicon to make the bottle air tight

    Pour salt water into the bottle

    close the bottle

    connect leads to 12v battery

    And that's it! Wow! Isn't that simple? We had no idea something like this could be so easy to make. And it's an incredibly practical tool, which makes it even better. We highly recommend giving this DIY hydrogen generator a try!

      Slightly inaccurate. When you separate water into oxygen and hydrogen, you get two different gasses made. There is a way to separate them which is done when using this process to generate oxygen or hydrogen. In this setup however, yes water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, but those gases are not separated, so what is coming out of that tube is a mixture of both and is not “pure hydrogen” as claimed in this video. Otherwise, this is a great science experiment for kids, and a brilliantly simple idea that with a few tweaks could really be useful for making pure gases.
