How to make hydrogen
As you all know, hydrogen is an explosive material. So how do we make it? The answer is all around us. Connect a wire to a battery and keep in mind of the positive and negative electrodes. Now you just need a bottle with blocked centre through it. The positive side produces oxygen while the negative side produces hydrogen. The equation would be 2(H20)->H2+O2.
RCandy science fun
Have any of you ever wanted to make rockets? With a simple recipe which all of us can make at home, it is possible to substitute traditional black gunpowder with RCandy. The two ingredients needed are:
- Potassium Nitrate
- Sugar
Potassium Nitrate can be found in any fertilizer store. The utensils needed are of the following:
- Weight scale
- Any tool which can be used for grinding
Measure the Potassium Nitrate for 20 grams and sugar for 11 grams. Be careful with these for the RCandy can turn into an explosive with the wrong mix. This can make good rocket fuel/propellant and is quite cheap.
