I saw something the other day. I was out in Cumby Texas visiting a friend when a buddy of his starting talking about something he'd heard about and made work.
this all happened in front of me.
He filled an igloo cooler with water from the tap. Placed a contraption into the cooler. A real simple thing, couple of pieces of metal bolted together sandwiching something with a few wires comming from it.
He hooked it up to a typical battery charger on low and we waited. A few minutes later it started to foam on the surface. Just a little like a film layer of bubbles.
He took a lighter and lite it. Poof a small flame.
He then added one drop of dawn detergent. This caused the film of bubbles to get a little bigger. When he lite that you got a very impressive flame, looked very hot.
This may be old news I dont' know but to catch water on fire is something to see.
Apparently this electric gadet does electrolosys which unbinds the hydrogen and oxygen at a molecular level. When this happens the 2 gases escape. Some of it is trapped for a moment in the small bubbles. Poof!
I was impressed.
