So this is basically what I'm doing, but at a higher scale, in a bucket. I want to collect oxygen for some experiments, and also experiment it on me( I want to see how I feel when I breath almost pure oxygen) :So, is the positive wire collecting oxygen ?( the anode) +
Is it normal that the hydrogen is producing at a much faster rate ?

Please, who knows, now !

If you're getting it from Water, then yes. H2 O

ask it in another forum ...

Why can't he ask here? Even if you don't know the answer there may be someone here who does.

There are lots of guys are that are +18.

God damnit.

As in 2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen.
H2O. The hydrogen will fill up faster.

I wonder if the process can be speeded up if I use H2O2 insteand of H2O

Better yet, HO2.

Have you concidered that it won't be pure oxygen since the tank (or whatever) which you use for capturing the oxygen molecules aren't empty before the experiment starts.
You can't vacumepump it out while it's in the water since that will only cause the water to boil which will fill up the "empty space".

Edit: Oh and I'm not an expert, but, I don't think you will do any good with a simple 12V battery either. H2O is kept together with hydrogen bondings, and they don't give up very easily.

Hehehe, but the tank(or whatever) I'm capturing the oxygen is turned upside down, and it is full of water at the beginning of the experiment. Its mouth is in water, so even like that, the water will stay inside and the oxygen molecules will slowly push the water away as they increase in number.

You can do it even with a 4,5 v battery, but I actualy use a PC power supply for this.

Be sure to breathe in all of the hydrogen at once.

I already know you hate me.

[EDIT] The water started to smell as Chlorine, and at an electrode is producing NaOH(I guess).

you probably should've looked into that.
And you spelled Oxygen wrong in your picture.
Can't believe nobody noticed that

Dude if you breathe that much oxygen, you'll get high.

That's why Oxygen bars are mildly popular in some areas.

Lol yeah ?? COOL !!!

Touche striker :> You've done your homework

I had no idea it was that easy to separate hydrogen from oxygen

How about this one :

Have you concidered

Anyway, now I'm making a video and later I'll upload it on youtube. HD

Ok here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9jfG3XE4Ds
Right now it's not HD because I just uploaded, but anyway enjoy :P.

Kind of cool actually. I look forward to seeing more oxygen =O

How much oxygen (roughly) did it actually produce?
Also, do something more interesting with it than plain burning next time. :>

How much oxygen (roughly) did it actually produce?

A quarter of that jar. That's about 75 ml of oxygen.

I can't wait for the next time when I'll mass-producing oxygen :D.
