hello guys, how to separate oxygen and hydrogen guys?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Note however that electrolysis works better if the water has some impurities in it,.
Pure distilled water requires a more powerful source of electricity..
The presence of small amounts of metals and other ions assist the conduction of electricity through the fluid,.
A lot of water soluble substances are useable.
The resulting higher current helps to dissociate the Hydrogen from the Oxygen.
 
High_Technology, I suggest you do your own research before asking a simple but open-ended question. Then come prepared with more specific questions.
