"Hi, my name is Michael Raines and I'm with Expert Village. It's a little sporadic, but yeah, once it pressures up in here, you really won't see any pressure here, I mean there's barely half a pound of pressure. It's just enough to force the Hydrogen to come up. Now, we can look real close on our little meter here. This flow meter is very inaccurate. It's not working right. It's not made for Hydrogen. It's made for Oxygen. Now as you know, Oxygen is a much heavier gas. Yeah, Oxygen is a gas. It flows through this and it would read higher. Hydrogen is a lot thinner. It floats better than Helium so it's going to dissipate really quick. And besides it's harmless. Won't kill you. You can't do that with gasoline right? Breathing Hydrogen kids, it can't kill you. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It's the top of the chemical chart. There is nothing more common than Hydrogen, period. It's the perfect stuff. So now, we're making our Hydrogen. You were using current. Using twelve volts, in our container. We did it kids. We're making Hydrogen, but I'm going to turn off the system, and talk why this is so important, in the next clip."

on 2/28/2009 yeah but you can easily recycle the water because when the molecules come back together to produce water it creates a spark and we can do that over and over and over again

on 8/2/2008 THANKS; THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIONAL TO ME, I MAY DO SOMETHING WITH THIS SOMEDAY. MAYBE you can show us how we can use this to heat a room or something? I have seen people use hydrogen on gas torch, cars, how to collect it in a container or something, but the question is HOW? but really THANKS; THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIONAL TO ME. Now if I could down load, to show my child 28 years old.

on 8/2/2008 This is just silly. you're making 2H2 O2, and it's very explosive. AC will work just as well as DC. You don't even need a battery. You need to seperate the positive gas generation from the negative gas to get just H2. H2 alone will not catch fire and burn through your tubes, it needs O2 from the air to burn. Your silly rants about the oil companies ignore the fact that it takes more energy via electricity than you can get via burning H2. H2 is energy storage and possibly transport, not generation. PS, most H2 is generated from natural gas, not water. It's MUCH cheaper.
