Success! Turning Ocean Water Into Chlorine Bleach


hey what’s up guys we are back with a

hey what’s up guys we are back with a new video now in yesterday’s experiment

new video now in yesterday’s experiment

new video now in yesterday’s experiment I tried turning ocean water into

I tried turning ocean water into

I tried turning ocean water into hydrogen and chlorine gas and it was a

hydrogen and chlorine gas and it was a

hydrogen and chlorine gas and it was a fail we found out that it’s because I

fail we found out that it’s because I

fail we found out that it’s because I was using copper electrode that it

was using copper electrode that it

was using copper electrode that it didn’t work the electrodes need to be

didn’t work the electrodes need to be

didn’t work the electrodes need to be carbon only but I know this experiment

carbon only but I know this experiment

carbon only but I know this experiment can work and I don’t want to give up yet

can work and I don’t want to give up yet

can work and I don’t want to give up yet and sometimes the simplest method is the

and sometimes the simplest method is the

and sometimes the simplest method is the best so today we’re going to modify this

best so today we’re going to modify this

best so today we’re going to modify this setup a little bit and see if we can in

setup a little bit and see if we can in

setup a little bit and see if we can in fact extract chlorine gas from ocean

fact extract chlorine gas from ocean

fact extract chlorine gas from ocean water so this thing right here is the

water so this thing right here is the

water so this thing right here is the modified system in a nutshell and you’re

modified system in a nutshell and you’re

modified system in a nutshell and you’re gonna see it’s very very simple all I

gonna see it’s very very simple all I

gonna see it’s very very simple all I did is heat up a screwdriver with a

did is heat up a screwdriver with a

did is heat up a screwdriver with a flame until it got hot enough that I

flame until it got hot enough that I

flame until it got hot enough that I cook two holes in the bottom of this

cook two holes in the bottom of this

cook two holes in the bottom of this plastic container just pick it up for

plastic container just pick it up for

plastic container just pick it up for the carbon rods once the carbon rods

the carbon rods once the carbon rods

the carbon rods once the carbon rods were pushed most of the way in I mix up

were pushed most of the way in I mix up

were pushed most of the way in I mix up a batch of five-minute epoxy and I put a

a batch of five-minute epoxy and I put a

a batch of five-minute epoxy and I put a liberal amount inside and outside

liberal amount inside and outside

liberal amount inside and outside because we need this thing to be

because we need this thing to be

because we need this thing to be completely watertight when it’s standing

completely watertight when it’s standing

completely watertight when it’s standing upright we’re going to keep the two

upright we’re going to keep the two

upright we’re going to keep the two holes that we made in the container from

holes that we made in the container from

holes that we made in the container from yesterday’s experiment now all we have

yesterday’s experiment now all we have

yesterday’s experiment now all we have to do is fill this thing back up with

to do is fill this thing back up with

to do is fill this thing back up with more fresh seawater attach some jumper

more fresh seawater attach some jumper

more fresh seawater attach some jumper cables to the bottom and let it run okay

cables to the bottom and let it run okay

cables to the bottom and let it run okay guys update it’s the moment of truth

guys update it’s the moment of truth

guys update it’s the moment of truth I’ve been down to the ocean I got some

I’ve been down to the ocean I got some

I’ve been down to the ocean I got some fresh ocean water I filled up the

fresh ocean water I filled up the

fresh ocean water I filled up the container and I’ve hooked it up to my

container and I’ve hooked it up to my

container and I’ve hooked it up to my car battery all that’s left to do right

car battery all that’s left to do right

car battery all that’s left to do right now is attach the red jumper cable lead

now is attach the red jumper cable lead

now is attach the red jumper cable lead to the battery terminal and see if this

to the battery terminal and see if this

to the battery terminal and see if this thing actually works all right so here

thing actually works all right so here

thing actually works all right so here we go

we go

we go moment of truth make the connection

moment of truth make the connection

moment of truth make the connection assuming everything is connected

assuming everything is connected

assuming everything is connected properly here we should be generating

properly here we should be generating

properly here we should be generating chlorine gas off of the left side and

chlorine gas off of the left side and

chlorine gas off of the left side and hydrogen gas off on the right side but

hydrogen gas off on the right side but

hydrogen gas off on the right side but there’s not a whole lot of voltage or

there’s not a whole lot of voltage or

there’s not a whole lot of voltage or amperage so it’s going to have to let

amperage so it’s going to have to let

amperage so it’s going to have to let this thing hang out and I’ll probably

this thing hang out and I’ll probably

this thing hang out and I’ll probably start the car and let the alternator

start the car and let the alternator

start the car and let the alternator pick up some of the load

[Music]

[Music] all right another update I had come out

all right another update I had come out

all right another update I had come out after about an hour and I hadn’t noticed

after about an hour and I hadn’t noticed

after about an hour and I hadn’t noticed much gas production and I think that’s

much gas production and I think that’s

much gas production and I think that’s because the next of the bottles were

because the next of the bottles were

because the next of the bottles were flat against the bottom so there wasn’t

flat against the bottom so there wasn’t

flat against the bottom so there wasn’t much way for electricity to flow through

much way for electricity to flow through

much way for electricity to flow through the solution so I just used a couple of

the solution so I just used a couple of

the solution so I just used a couple of rocks and I propped these bottles up a

rocks and I propped these bottles up a

rocks and I propped these bottles up a little bit and that allows the solution

little bit and that allows the solution

little bit and that allows the solution to conduct electricity a little bit

to conduct electricity a little bit

to conduct electricity a little bit quicker and since then my rate of

quicker and since then my rate of

quicker and since then my rate of production on these gases have gone way

production on these gases have gone way

production on these gases have gone way up and if we check this now you can see

up and if we check this now you can see

up and if we check this now you can see that bottle is almost completely full of

that bottle is almost completely full of

that bottle is almost completely full of hydrogen so now we got a full bottle of

hydrogen so now we got a full bottle of

hydrogen so now we got a full bottle of hydrogen let’s light it up

hydrogen let’s light it up

hydrogen let’s light it up yeah it’s good test so I built another

yeah it’s good test so I built another

yeah it’s good test so I built another contraption that will help us work with

contraption that will help us work with

contraption that will help us work with smaller quantities a little bit faster

smaller quantities a little bit faster

smaller quantities a little bit faster this here is a much much simpler set if

this here is a much much simpler set if

this here is a much much simpler set if you can see I’m only running one carbon

you can see I’m only running one carbon

you can see I’m only running one carbon electrode through the side into a much

electrode through the side into a much

electrode through the side into a much smaller bottle and that’s because the

smaller bottle and that’s because the

smaller bottle and that’s because the limiting factor here is the amount of

limiting factor here is the amount of

limiting factor here is the amount of salt that’s actually in our sea water as

salt that’s actually in our sea water as

salt that’s actually in our sea water as the chlorine is extracted it’ll get

the chlorine is extracted it’ll get

the chlorine is extracted it’ll get collected in this bottle so by using a

collected in this bottle so by using a

collected in this bottle so by using a smaller bottle the concentration of

smaller bottle the concentration of

smaller bottle the concentration of chlorine that we end up should be higher

chlorine that we end up should be higher

chlorine that we end up should be higher smell this one over here and tell me

smell this one over here and tell me

smell this one over here and tell me what it smells like smells like ooh what

what it smells like smells like ooh what

what it smells like smells like ooh what was that smell like a hot tub it’s been

was that smell like a hot tub it’s been

was that smell like a hot tub it’s been almost three hours now and you can see

almost three hours now and you can see

almost three hours now and you can see you most of the solution has been pushed

you most of the solution has been pushed

you most of the solution has been pushed out of the bottle displaced with the gas

out of the bottle displaced with the gas

out of the bottle displaced with the gas this should be chlorine gas and looking

this should be chlorine gas and looking

this should be chlorine gas and looking at it you can see it’s kind of got a

at it you can see it’s kind of got a

at it you can see it’s kind of got a brownish yellow tinge to it so there’s a

brownish yellow tinge to it so there’s a

brownish yellow tinge to it so there’s a good possibility that we actually do

good possibility that we actually do

good possibility that we actually do have chlorine

have chlorine

have chlorine finally four and a half hours of effort

finally four and a half hours of effort

finally four and a half hours of effort but we finally got it so here we have a

but we finally got it so here we have a

but we finally got it so here we have a little soda bottle filled with chlorine

little soda bottle filled with chlorine

little soda bottle filled with chlorine gas chlorines awesome stuff because it

gas chlorines awesome stuff because it

gas chlorines awesome stuff because it can be used as a disinfectant for

can be used as a disinfectant for

can be used as a disinfectant for treating and sanitizing drinking water

treating and sanitizing drinking water

treating and sanitizing drinking water but it is a very dangerous chemical you

but it is a very dangerous chemical you

but it is a very dangerous chemical you don’t want to breathe this stuff in it

don’t want to breathe this stuff in it

don’t want to breathe this stuff in it can do some nasty damage to you if you

can do some nasty damage to you if you

can do some nasty damage to you if you look inside there you should be able to

look inside there you should be able to

look inside there you should be able to see a hazy yellowish brown cloud and

see a hazy yellowish brown cloud and

see a hazy yellowish brown cloud and that appears to me to be chlorine so I

that appears to me to be chlorine so I

that appears to me to be chlorine so I think we’ve done it I don’t have any use

think we’ve done it I don’t have any use

think we’ve done it I don’t have any use for chlorine gas right now but I think

for chlorine gas right now but I think

for chlorine gas right now but I think it’s really cool that we can make it if

it’s really cool that we can make it if

it’s really cool that we can make it if we need to the thing that really blows

we need to the thing that really blows

we need to the thing that really blows my mind about this experiment is that

my mind about this experiment is that

my mind about this experiment is that salt water is very tame but if you pump

salt water is very tame but if you pump

salt water is very tame but if you pump a little electricity through it you can

a little electricity through it you can

a little electricity through it you can make some pretty vicious chemicals whoop

make some pretty vicious chemicals whoop

make some pretty vicious chemicals whoop wow that’s powerful it stings the nose

wow that’s powerful it stings the nose

wow that’s powerful it stings the nose Sting’s the throat burns the lungs I

Sting’s the throat burns the lungs I

Sting’s the throat burns the lungs I think we got ourselves some good

think we got ourselves some good

think we got ourselves some good chlorine there guys mark my brother just

chlorine there guys mark my brother just

chlorine there guys mark my brother just arrived here take that buddy got it I

arrived here take that buddy got it I

arrived here take that buddy got it I want you to just to snip in that hole

want you to just to snip in that hole

want you to just to snip in that hole and tell me what you smell

smells nice smells like chlorine this is

smells nice smells like chlorine this is smokin smells very clean so it’s like a

smokin smells very clean so it’s like a

smokin smells very clean so it’s like a swimming pool chlorine is two-and-a-half

swimming pool chlorine is two-and-a-half

swimming pool chlorine is two-and-a-half times heavier than air so if you hold on

times heavier than air so if you hold on

times heavier than air so if you hold on to that and if I take my hand off the

to that and if I take my hand off the

to that and if I take my hand off the top the chlorine should stay in the

top the chlorine should stay in the

top the chlorine should stay in the bottle okay now if you want a very very

bottle okay now if you want a very very

bottle okay now if you want a very very carefully smell in there tell me if

carefully smell in there tell me if

carefully smell in there tell me if that’s chlorine or not whoa what it’s

that’s chlorine or not whoa what it’s

that’s chlorine or not whoa what it’s all that it’s very strong it burned my

all that it’s very strong it burned my

all that it’s very strong it burned my nostrils with a little sniff yeah oh my

nostrils with a little sniff yeah oh my

nostrils with a little sniff yeah oh my gosh that is strong that’s crazy huh

gosh that is strong that’s crazy huh

gosh that is strong that’s crazy huh yeah it is yeah that hurt yeah it’s so

yeah it is yeah that hurt yeah it’s so

yeah it is yeah that hurt yeah it’s so cool idea there we all my love bathroom

cool idea there we all my love bathroom

cool idea there we all my love bathroom that smells like bleach I feel like

that smells like bleach I feel like

that smells like bleach I feel like should go do laundry now oh just a light

should go do laundry now oh just a light

should go do laundry now oh just a light left those light is still so strong and

left those light is still so strong and

left those light is still so strong and potent like it burns all the way in yeah

potent like it burns all the way in yeah

potent like it burns all the way in yeah that’s good stuff up really burn

that’s good stuff up really burn

that’s good stuff up really burn so did we do it do we make chlorine

so did we do it do we make chlorine

so did we do it do we make chlorine bleach out of seawater yeah I think we

bleach out of seawater yeah I think we

bleach out of seawater yeah I think we did so if it’s not obvious guys don’t

did so if it’s not obvious guys don’t

did so if it’s not obvious guys don’t try this at home don’t sniff chlorine

try this at home don’t sniff chlorine

try this at home don’t sniff chlorine why not it’s science don’t sniff

why not it’s science don’t sniff

why not it’s science don’t sniff chlorine guys sniffing chlorine for

chlorine guys sniffing chlorine for

chlorine guys sniffing chlorine for science right oh my goodness is what we

science right oh my goodness is what we

science right oh my goodness is what we do this is our bottle of water that’s

do this is our bottle of water that’s

do this is our bottle of water that’s been exposed to chlorine I’m going to

been exposed to chlorine I’m going to

been exposed to chlorine I’m going to give it a little taste test which I’m

give it a little taste test which I’m

give it a little taste test which I’m sure isn’t the smartest idea but it’s

sure isn’t the smartest idea but it’s

sure isn’t the smartest idea but it’s for science

actually I can already taste that on the

actually I can already taste that on the lip Wow

Wow I can taste that that’s bleach I’m

Wow I can taste that that’s bleach I’m gonna go wash my mouth out good so I

gonna go wash my mouth out good so I

gonna go wash my mouth out good so I poured a little bit of water into this

poured a little bit of water into this

poured a little bit of water into this bottle with chlorine and just shook it

bottle with chlorine and just shook it

bottle with chlorine and just shook it around for a couple of minutes to see if

around for a couple of minutes to see if

around for a couple of minutes to see if the chlorine will absorb into the water

the chlorine will absorb into the water

the chlorine will absorb into the water and form sodium hypochlorite or bleach

and form sodium hypochlorite or bleach

and form sodium hypochlorite or bleach so I think what I’m gonna do now is pour

so I think what I’m gonna do now is pour

so I think what I’m gonna do now is pour the water out and figure out some way to

the water out and figure out some way to

the water out and figure out some way to test it this is our homemade bleach

test it this is our homemade bleach

test it this is our homemade bleach using the water and chlorine oh my

using the water and chlorine oh my

using the water and chlorine oh my goodness look at that it’s only been one

goodness look at that it’s only been one

goodness look at that it’s only been one minute and you can see already serious

minute and you can see already serious

minute and you can see already serious bleach stains wow that’s incredible that

bleach stains wow that’s incredible that

bleach stains wow that’s incredible that is insane

is insane

is insane it’s been five minutes maybe six and a

it’s been five minutes maybe six and a

it’s been five minutes maybe six and a half yeah you’re not wearing that again

half yeah you’re not wearing that again

half yeah you’re not wearing that again I’m super excited to say we did it guys

I’m super excited to say we did it guys

I’m super excited to say we did it guys we took salt water straight out of the

we took salt water straight out of the

we took salt water straight out of the ocean pumped electricity through it and

ocean pumped electricity through it and

ocean pumped electricity through it and converted it into hydrogen chlorine and

converted it into hydrogen chlorine and

converted it into hydrogen chlorine and bleach the reason I’m so excited about

bleach the reason I’m so excited about

bleach the reason I’m so excited about being able to generate chlorine is

being able to generate chlorine is

being able to generate chlorine is because even today it’s one of the main

because even today it’s one of the main

because even today it’s one of the main ways that we sanitize and disinfect our

ways that we sanitize and disinfect our

ways that we sanitize and disinfect our drinking water so as long as you have

drinking water so as long as you have

drinking water so as long as you have access to the ocean and being able to

access to the ocean and being able to

access to the ocean and being able to generate electricity you can generate

generate electricity you can generate

generate electricity you can generate chlorine okay that’s it for this video

chlorine okay that’s it for this video

chlorine okay that’s it for this video guys it’s been awesome hanging out with
