[header] How to make hydrogen (science experiment ) [title] Pour water into a glass container. [step] Avoid using plastic or metal for this. You will be running an electric current through the water that could melt plastics.
Metal will conduct this current and could shock you if you touch the container. [substeps] If you are unfamiliar with this experiment, start with one cup of water. Use a metal or plastic container that is well sealed with a lid. You will now open the top of the container and pour the hydrogen water right in. [title] Stir the hydrogen--and water--together with a spoon. [step] Some of the hydrogen should form electrons and others should float in the water. [title] Process the water for a set period of 24 hours, usually 30 minutes to an hour period. [step] It may take up to an hour for small-scale macro discolorations to form, so err on the side of caution.
