Homemade hydrogen? | 13 comments (13 topical)

You were making some chlorine gas at the positive nail, that's what happened to it. :-)  That stuff will eat about everything and will do major damage to your skin and lungs in large enough amounts.  That's another reason to use baking soda.  

Since water is H2O there's only half the O molecules so there's less gas at the positive electrode.  Also, the O bubbles are very small and aren't very noticable unless you've got lots of it being produced.  Btw, stainless steel pipe in varying sizes makes a great generator used with large 2-4" diam. rubber pipe caps.  I have a little unit that will make one liter of H and O gas in about a minute, I think it was.
