Anyone here got the basic equipment and saftey know-how to do a test? An accidental short of a car battery would be not difficult and very bad with the experiments shown, but it seems to be no real rocket science.
It would have been better if the gas coming up were shown to be hydrogen & Oxygen.
If anyone here does try it, for the love of God, don't do it in your basement. Do it outside or in a well ventilated garage.
Certainly wouldn't hurt, but the amount of gas coming off in the home experiments is probably so small to not be dangerous.
I'd be more concerned about accidentally shorting the home home made element, as shorting a 12 volt car battery can cause it to explode, generate extreme heat or something. One should be sure to have a 5 or 10 amp fuse in the circuit as a safety measure.
