This is just splitting water molecules apart. The negative wire pulls out the hydrogen. The positive pulls out the oxygen. Those gas bubbles rise to the surface and are released into the air.
Can someone tell me how this could possibly sterilize anything, or have any effect on algae?
I think this is just good old-fashioned theatrical quackery.

It comes down to chemistry. It also creates Ions in the process which can react with pollution in the water.
It will kill spores and many viruses and bacteria.
Electrolysed water is actually considered a disinfectant. but loses its potency very quickly.

Be careful. If your wire Guage is to small it breaks down and falls apart. Works much better coiling a heavy guage wire into a cylinder and using that instead of mesh. Little less surface area but at least you don't have wire everywhere in your tank. Also DO NOT use copper wire for this.

There is no particular reason this can't be integrated into a full circulation. The actual test would be to contaminate the water with bacteria (or use aquarium water), and determine how many colony forming units are in there before and after using it.

You should look into the problems with stainless releasing chemicals into the water. If you watched Eron Brockovich, you'd know how bad those chemicals can be. I wouldn't want that near pet fish... Also, you're releasing hydrogen and pure oxygen. Both extremely combustible.

How long does it last till the electrodes dissolve away or the wires erode off the wire mesh,,thats always the problem with such things. By the way since I like fish, Ill fill you in on the dangers of using such things, and you can do your own research to know this to be true, or not, poor fish. Anyway the electrodes are literally dissolving into the water, so you are adding metals into the water, as ripley would say believe it or not, again poor fish.

Thank you for your Great video,but is it safe for your fish,can we replace it with airstone?
Keith Reynolds
Keith Reynolds - 7 years ago
You might be able to get rid of your pump and aerators. Oxygen bubbled from the air is about 20% by volume. The oxygen bubbles from electrolysis is 100% by volume of an oxygen bubble. With an oxygen concentration 5 times higher, along with their nano size gives the oxygen incredible surface area to volume ratio that helps both helps the oxygen diffuse more quickly into the water, and stay suspended in the water much longer to ensuring more of the oxygen gets absorbed into the water using far less energy.

There is a lot of research that molecular hydrogen helps as an antioxidant fighting oxidative stress. It scavenge up the worst of radical oxygen species, hydroxyl radical (•OH ). The diatomic molecule hydrogen gas easily penetrates cell walls and into every organelle of a cell helping it protect the the fish's cells from oxidation stress. Sources of OH species can come from water that is ionized from ionizing radiation like natural radiation in the environment from potassium 40 and carbon 14, or water can be ionized from normal metabolic processes, and environmental stresses. So aside from more efficiently oxygenating the water, you are also providing hydrogen that is also very likely benefiting the fish helping them grow larger and stronge

This is Browns Gas, pretty cool but your producing hydrogen fuel in your fish tank. Not a major concern unless you have something in your tank that could produce a spark and your tank is fairly shut tight trapping the gases. Not bringing down anything that your doing here in the video but maybe something to note in a disclaimer (for twinstar as well really). Google Browns Gas to better understand what I mean if youve never heard of it before. Cool though good work and honestly im half tempted to see how that actually works out for producing browns gas itself for a hydrogen cell.

Twinstar is using a Diamondelectrode instead of Steelmesh. The Diamond disolves Hydroxylradicals instead of Oxygenradicals.
Joe, your DIY product a normal elecrolyisis.
The Hydroxylradicals created with the diamondelectrode are what makes the product "theoretical work" normal electrolysis is not recommned in fish tanks, especially combined with salt becouse it will create chlorine.

You saved me $300.00 if you have stuff like this in your book where do I buy your book for my son to read? This increase the DO* Dissolved Oxygen by 50% and this is for Hydroponics. Dude you have no clue how much this helped me out. Seriously this is so big right now in the Hydroponic world right now. Thank you so much!

Regarging the O2 Emitter that costs $300, they have IRIDIUM that coats the Anode/Cathodes (which costs about $900/oz). It’s now just under the price of gold. Thats is a precious metal used for conductivity in your cell phone , laptops and now Led’s are starting to use that material and that has up the price. Hope that explains the high price tag....

I have found a problem with this method. In direct contact with the Hydro nutrients the machine turns the nutrient into white flaky stuff that makes the nutrient go bad. Also the DO only last a few hours before the water returns to normal. I seen it on a review of the machine it's self. So I found a way to hack that and keep this idea going with having Pure Oxygen delivered to my hydroponic system 24/7 thanks to this guy!

I'm also asking the ppl that make the o2 grow if you can put their machine directly in to the hydro nutrients. If you can do that then I think that maybe worth buying however they only say let it run for 3 hours a day if you do that in just a few hours the DO will go back to its Bubblier normal water air holding level of like I think , .8 or something.? And if your growing hydro the plants will eat that air up in no time. There is a better way of doing that and I figured out how to keep this machine running and delivering pure Oxygen to the Hydro nutrients without destroying the Nutrient! :) All I need now is a DO meter and I'll know for sure if its possible to keep this running 24/7 if I can do that and keep my DO up 24/7, 365 days I'm going to be one happy man! I'll be back one day and let you know if my idea worked or not after I get a DO meter. Until then stay cool out there!

I wonder if this would work with rain water collected in a bucket in my yard (not from a roof, but straight from the sky). I might just test this one out since I'm planning on using rain water in the future for my tanks. Who knows, this might be the cheapest solution to sterilize that water and get rid of all those harmful bacteria. In combination with lots of filtering with active coal.... yep, it might actually do the job. :)

By chance, did you check the O2 level of the water before and after. As this is used more for adding O2 to the water then it is for Sterilizing. As they work better then using an air stone.
paba911
paba911 - 8 years ago
Can this be used instead of an airstone?
Maybe in the sump, so the water doesn't get too cloudy?!
Since it "creates" Oxigen in really small bubbles this might actually be very effective, I'd guess.
There is something quite similar called o2 grow to get oxygenated water for growing plants.

Gaseous oxygen does not react with water. It is water soluble and functions as an oxidator:

O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- > 4 OH

Oxygen may oxidize organic matter. This is principally a biological process. Each individual compound has a reaction mechanism that can be described by means of an electron balance. Examples are given below (H2O is excluded):

Fe2+ + 0,25 O2 -> Fe(OH)3 + 2,5 H+
Mn2+ + O2 -> MnO2 + 2 H+
NH4+ + 2 O2 > NO3 + 6 H+
CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 4 H+

These mechanisms show that ammonium and methane apply large amounts of oxygen, and the resulting oxidation reactions form higher or lower amounts of acid. Under normal conditions acid in water reacts with HCO3-, forming CO2.
The oxygen atom is very reactive and forms oxides with virtually all other elements, with the exception of helium, neon, argon and krypton. There are also a large amounts of compounds that react with water.

Seeing as this "gadget" creates O2 in the form of microbubbles how would it be for oxygenation? Either in a power failure or for supplemental oxygen in high temperature conditions? I'm working on an outdoor goldfish pond in Texas where the summertime temperatures get high enough O2 levels can be a concern.
oldiron1223
oldiron1223 - 7 years ago
Reason for the question is there are other videos praising "micro bubbles" or "nano bubbles" as oxygenators. Most of those systems are more expensive than the Twinstar system. Might build one and give it a shot. Then there is the expense of a dissolved oxygen meter....
PopicalGold

I've seen this application used in the hydroponics industry. They use it for oxygenation and warned against using it in aquariums for extended periods because of O2 toxicity. The escaping hydrogen gas can be dangerous in enclosed spaces (Hindenberg) so it's best not to get too carried away with this tech. Cool DIY project though. BTW, DO NOT use electrolysis in salt water!

It breaks water up into superfine H2 and O2 molecules which have a mild sterilizing effect. Such an effect is used in some industrial cases to purify water/clean pipes. This device is mainly marketed for the planted tank segment as a defense against algae. However, if we observe tanks that use such devices, then there are plenty of algae filled ones. Many aquarists swear by it, but it's hard to narrow down cause and effect since it doesn't work 100% of the time. The original device is also extremely pricey. Perhaps the best answer is that you can achieve an algae free tank by paying attention to overall tank cleanliness, plant health and light control, so why bother having an extra device in the tank

Hey there. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I wanted you to know I find your videos very interesting and useful. I've been running freshwater tanks for almost 15 years and until now, I've never thought about getting into saltwater. I have a spare 10 gallon tank with a 20 gallon bio wheel HOB filter and a small air pump. I still need to get a heater before I can start the official setup, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions or advice for a saltwater noob. It should be known that I live in Florida, U.S. so it does get pretty hot down here, but I keep the AC running almost all the time... Anyway, thanks for your time and keep up the good work!

You should be careful with electrolysis. The electricity will always decompose the "weakest" chemical in the tank. That COULD be water becoming H2 and O2 but it is also possible that the steel realease toxic heavy metals. Especialy if the voltage is high. And if there is any trace of sea salt in the water, it will produce Cl2 and then all life will be sterilized...

Thats a great idea but. Have you tested to see if there is any voltage in the water. I once read that if you have those little worms on the glass and you want to kill them you can take a 9 volt battery with long wires and put one wire on each side tf the tank to get rid of them. Thats why I was thinking if you put both wires in the water and you putting voltage in the water.

+quepiid Having stray voltage in your tank can mess up the fishes sense for tracking where the food is. It also mess with different senses in different type of fish. Google what happen aquarium fish if there is stray voltage in the tank.

Joey I know this has nothing to do with this video I have a reef tank but I was looking at your power outage video and I was wondering if you can hook up a 12 volt pump to a car battery for emergency purposes battery packs for reef tanks are kind of expensive and don't last anything or maybe to 12 volt batt. sorry to stick this in here

I got to admit that the Twinstar is pricey but it has help my planted aquarium out significantly in the last month and a half. DIY or a Twinstar I think are great for killing algae and helping with many other issues. I recommend any type of a product for beginners or experience aquarium hobbyist.
stephane van der lee
stephane van der lee - 8 years ago
hi Joey, Just wondering that maybe the twinstar is using a silver mesh, as silver has anti-microbial etc. effect when micro particles are in water. If so probably the reason for the $$$$ cost $$$$.
Further to this after seeing their website I suspect that they are using different metal combinations for the different models hence the different effects.
You are correct about the electrolysis breaking the algae spores, but in this case I think it goes further, as by having different metal meshes you create different nano particles which inturn have different benefits.

@Wil Welsh
Cool! Thanks internet hive mind!

And so, this electrolysis machine that is producing pure hydrogen, the hydrogen in this case is oxidizing some little nasties, albeit at a very low rate?
Wil Welsh
Wil Welsh - 8 years ago
+enticed2zeitgeist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_potential

High redox catalyzes enzymatic reactions that oxidize organic compounds. It is also capable of rupturing the cell walls of anaerobic bacteria.

In aquaria, raising redox won't clean your water of excess nutrients, but it will destroy some little nasties if dosed constantly (like every few hours).

You can see the effect demonstrated when dosing hydrogen peroxide in a tank with black beard algae. It will oxidize and turn pink.
enticed2zeitgeist

he's already mentioned in his FB live videos that he is not doing UV sterilizers. It is too risky of a build both for his viewers' safety, and the fish's safety. Especially considering the cost to build it would negate any of the actual benefits of doing DIY(i.e. Being inexpensive).
