Hi today Im gonna show you how to make an oxhydrogen bomb.
Most of you probably know oxyhydrogen is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 2 at 1, which is highly explosive.
So how do we make it?
These are the materials you need:
a plastic box filled with cold water
2 glass bottles
Aluminum foil
Tape
15% or a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide. This one is 30%
Some distilled or normal water
Manganese dioxide. To get this black stuff you’ve to break up an alkaline battery.
A balloon
A long fuse
A small plastic bag
A bit of black powder. From a firecracker for example.
Sodium hydroxide/caustic soda.
Scissors
Matches or a lighter
Fill one of the 2 bottles with a little water.
After this you take your aluminum foil and rip it in some pieces.
Put the pieces into the bottle.
Now you take your sodium hydroxide and dissolve some grams in the bottle.
Around this much.
There will occur a reaction between the aluminum and the hydroxide.
This produces hydrogen.
Because It’s a exothermic reaction, we put the bottle into the plastic box filled with cold water.
This is to cool down the reaction, otherwise the balloon can snap from the heat.
Now place your balloon on the bottle.
The balloon will be filled with hydrogen.
This will take some time. Now we have to make some oxygen.
Take your hydrogen peroxide and fill the other bottle around this much.
Because this is 30% concentration, I decrease it to around 15% by adding some water.
Rip a small piece of the plastic bag.
Put a small bit of manganese dioxide in it and wrap it like this.
Cut it short.
When the reaction has stopped, like here, or you think its 2/3rd filled...
you take the small piece of plastic with the manganese dioxide and put it into the bottle.
Remove the balloon and place it on the other bottle.
Now shake or twirl the bottle a bit.
Hydrogen peroxide isn’t stable and will slowly separate into water and oxygen.
The manganese dioxide is used as catalyst for this exothermic reaction.
In the meantime cut two pieces of tape
After you got your balloon full enough take it off and tie the balloon shut.
Because 2/3rd is filled with hydrogen, which is lighter than air, the balloon wants to go up
Now take the black powder and put it on the balloon.
Put the fuse on the black powder and stick it down with some pieces of tape.
Bend the fuse like this.
Now our bomb is finished. Ill show you the restult and another one.
And it flew 155 meters away... 2..
And it flew 155 meters away... 1..
.... aah well I've made another one.
I've made it heavier. Now Ill convince you.
