Wow, I never thought of using the graphite in pencil as electrodes…

Try it with a sheet of graphite wrapped in a spiral with various spacing
for maximum surface area. 2 separate 5 gallon buckets connected by a pipe
at the base for conductivity will make sure the gasses separate. Not sure
how to collect the gasses though.

Ok i don’t know if this is a stupid question or not but I just had to ask,
please tell me if I’m having a dumb moment. Ok you said that this is to
split water for fuel so….. does that mean that if this experiment was big
enough that it could be used as fuel for cars?
I heard somewhere that someone found a way to use water instead of gas but
then he was murdered because I guess companies would lose money if we all
figured out how to use water instead of gas. They would probably just raise
the price of water or something that’s how fucked up they are.

Very cool, but what is the purpose? Just to deliver oxygen and H to the
environment? Oh I see, you are saying you have to collect it for fuel..
Does it run out or eat up the pencil or will it run forever?

If only they knew this in Mad Max.

Hey, umm can u please teach me how to catch the hydrogen ad oxygen.

Very easy actually to collect the hydrogen and oxygen. Instead of a cup use
a small water bottle, stick and seal the pencils on the side. Put a balloon
on the mouth of the bottle or burn it right off.

Very nice DIY. Heard of the bingo fuel generator? Next try that!

Sir in our textbook it says that photons hit the n-type silicion crystal
which free electron-hole pairs to the p-type semiconductor… is that
right??

Cool video. But you called them photocells. Are those the same as
photoresistors. Do you by any chance have one on actual photocells….the
ones that cameras use to detect light or with those solar garden lights
that turn on in response to darkness.

I really like your videos .. actually i depend on them to understand
everything in my books they are like the base .. and i’m taking a course
which talks about density states , probability functions and energy bands
which i think they are the next level in this playlist can you make a video
to explain them more please .. thanks for your effort ;)

Doc, if you had time, could you explain blocking-generator? I think
it would be interesting for your audience :)
