[1hour22min] Successfully creating a bath duck out of pure sodium metal using all the incorrect tools and learning everything by failing while playing with highly toxic chemicals and high voltage

This Aussie is insane. I had to split this movie of a youtube video in like 3-4 sessions.

Watch it for the journey, not the result.

  • Yes, he is insane.

    Aqueous electrolysis is that sort of thing that even a 10yo kid can do at home. Igneous electrolysis though? Chemistry knowledge isn't enough, you need technical skills. He clearly had none at the start of the video, that's why it took him so long - he learned it as he did it.

    I did it with small plastic soda bottles, pencil leads, aquarium tubes, and super glue. I stopped using it after I found a better source of hydrogen - aluminium cans and lye.
