i'm willing do this myself, but wonder if the bottle could explode. i've watched the same reaction, but there wasn't water filter and it kinda turn out to be a small bomb.

I'd just electrolyze water... no toxic chlorine,no filter necessary... problem might be in trapping Oxygen,...

yea,i use muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) like from lowe's or pool acid from a pool supply store. works better i think. plus the purer, higher-concentration HCl is more fun anyways

So this is actually pretty good. I would use muriatic acid from the hardware store because itll make purer hydrogen gas, but if you're just messing around making balloons that float away, it prolley doesn't matter how pure it is anyway.

You should breath in the contents of the balloon and make another video.

Why are you messing with that when you can get a less dangerous reaction with less dangerous components from using just magnesium and vinegar to produce hydrogen? If you want to experiment, just go get one of those flint strikers and flake some magnesium into vinegar - or even the whole bar.

One point that he didn't make about this project is that the Aluminum foil and hydrochloric acid have to go into a glass bottle rather than a plastic one. The reaction that goes is exothermic and it creates a generous amount of heat that will melt the bottle.

How to Fill a Hydrogen Balloon
Speaker: Alright, take tube on the works balloon generator. We got the glass bottle it's going to hold the aluminum and hydrogen chloride; gases will travel into this water filter which will hopefully trap the impurities like the chlorides and now the hydrogen will float to the top and up to the balloon, so straight up. Little bit more, got the gases going into the water filter and the pure hydrogen is still in the balloon. Alright, let's tie it down. Oh my God! Oh my God! There it goes, a balloon filled with hydrogen, ****ing.
