hello!
im new so dont be to tough on me
i want to fill ballons up with hydrogen and oxygen (because its easier) and ive modified a 1.5 litre coke bottle so that 2 carbon rods are sticking into it. then all i have to do is add water and an electrolyte and hook it up to some electricity and put a balloon on the mouth. but this takes a ridiculous amounts of time to even fill the balloon up (not even till its standing up)
so my question is, if i hook up the rods to the wall outlet via an old cord, will this speed it up alot? enough to fill a balloon within half an hour? ive tried adding more electrolytes (mainly NaCl) but it hasnt made much of a difference at all.
so will my idea work? or is there an easier way to do this. (btw i dont have enough HCl or any acid, and Mg or other metal to do it this way.)
thanks!
