Hyperspace Industries Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) I just finished my last exam. This brings good news and bad news: Good news: It’s vacation! 2 months without school, in the middle of the summer and Christmas! Hurray for the southern hemisphere! Bad news: My mom wants me to get up at something like 6 o’ clock to go get my passport renewed tomorrow , and Friday I need to get up at 7 o’ clock because I apparently need to visit someone who will give me extra after school math (advanced math). My only consolation is that I won’t have to go to them in vacations. Then on the 2 of December they are going to organize the house, and I’m still fighting to stop them organizing my room, then it’s a gazillion other things. And we’re going to the sea, and a couple of towns. I’m barely going to have a vacation at all because of my stupid, annoying, and all around irritating parents, especially my mom. Edited November 17, 2021 by Hyperspace Industries Edit: Good news everyone! My dad needs to go with me for my passport, so I can sleep in tomorrow! Thank goodness for the constant travel of civil engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperspace Industries Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Sorry for the previous post, but this one should be funnier: The power is out, so I'm mocking the blackout by listening to AC/DC and its electricity related rock music.

Hyperspace Industries Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I built a water electrolyzer and didn't blow myself up! Even better, it actually worked! Well, only twice, after that it started tripping the plugs (shorting), but that is good for a hardware store 15 amp mains connection, a floor washing bucket filled with salt water, and two metal soup cans as electrodes! The cans after it started shorting and I replaced them with a stainless steel spatula and basket thingy. (Yes, this contraption is held together by duct tape.) The latest variant, it works, for the single second until it shorts. Tomorrow I aim to get saltpeter (Potassium Nitrate) from a butcher, if they are open. If I can get it, this electrolyzer is unnecessary because I can make rocket candy, instead of using hydrogen and oxygen gas as fuel for a rocket.

StrandedonEarth Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Huzzah to the release of Season 2! And that's all I have to say about that, since the show I'm referring to is soooo Not Safe For Kids, or work, or probably anyone with any sense of decency.

You're using mains to electrolyze? You will blow yourself up. AC will produce a mixture of gasses in a perfectly exploady ratio. Also, exposed mains. You won't live long enough to blow yourself up. Use DC to separate H2 and O2 in separate containers, and even then be careful. Edited November 22, 2021 by Shpaget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use DC to separate H2 and O2 in separate containers, and even then be careful. I would if I could, I can't afford to get a (configurable) dc power supply (more than 1000 South African rand a pop), also, I previously used a scavenged mains connection from a vacuum cleaner (which wasn't limited to 15 amps) and it produced so much electricity that the electrolyzer (two or so years ago) went from room temperature to too-hot-to-touch in less than two seconds. As for the separate containers, that is something I am probably going to do, because H2 and ½O2 is much handier than HHO. This thing is mostly a proof of concept now.

Shpaget Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Separate containers only make sense with DC. Using AC, you'll only end up with two containers of very nervous explosives. A 24V 2A power supply can be bought for $15 shipped. Is your life worth less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
