How to use free LPG Gas from water - at home

How to use free LPG Gas from water - at home

[gneuhaus]

The yellow flame indicates acetylene. Then calcium carbide should have been in the bag. This is very different from LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and is not as easy to handle, it can explosively decompose.

[LukeWWater]

CaCO3 is calcium carbonate or limestone. It wouldn't produce anything by adding water. CaC2 is calcium carbide and would produce acetylene not liquefied petroleum gas.

I’ve been running my flying train on this stuff for over seventy years! It’s brilliant!

My grandfather in the late 150's, and into the late 1960's ran a pipeline from there Septic Tank and use the Methane gas to heat various small buildings on his property. If I recall correctly, one heater was in the Water pump house... because is was always nice a warm in the in the winter. I was to young to know all the facts about what he was doing at the time.

Dude, it's scam - we saw you put calcium carbonate from a bag labeled as calcium carbonate in there - what happened in the 10 minutes the camera was off? You put calcium carbide in the pressure cooker, that's what! You owe 3, 621, 075 viewers 15 minutes of our lives back.

We used to use a paste made of the stuff called "bangsite" for noise cannons and miner's headlamps with BLACK chunks of the stuff for caving. There is NOTHING even remotely flammable about the stuff you used... maybe mix it with vinegar or another acid to create gases?
Lame liar

This is a primitive example of a perfected technology. A hundred years ago you could find an acetylene generator in the basement of a house. Water was dripped (regulated flow) onto the calcium carbide to produce a steady stream of gas. The gas was piped through out the home to feed gas lamps.

[paulknox]

free LPG so who is paying for the calcium carbide you need? and what he added was calcium carbonate which at best would produce carbon dioxide which is not flammable, he might actually need some of that Carbon Dioxide gas to put out any fire that is caused when his acetylene explodes if he ever finds a bag of calcium carbide to use. I love these sort of videos that create something out of something else thats costs way more to buy in first place.

In the underground gold mines, there used to be in use for lighting purpose what was called 'Carbide Lamp'! It is two chambers, one for carbide and another for water. The water chamber had an outlet at its closed bottom for dripping of water on the carbide, with a control knob.
It's like two tumblers threaded together and removable. An outlet for gas to come out was also provided with a brass reflector. When we light the tip of the outlet a flame would flare up. Controlling the dripping the flame size is controlled!
Check about this lamp, which now had become a 'museum' piece! In the place called KGF people still have kept preserved that lamp for old times sake!

The moment I see a hot-glue gun come into view I know I am about to see an amateurish botch-up. I was not wrong. CaCo3 (Calcium Carbonate) is NOT the same as CaC2 (Calcium Carbide, ) which is what is being used here. CaC2 is expensive stuff, so there is no way the flammable gas produced (acetylene) is free. In fact it is dangerously explosive in the wrong hands or equipment. Whatever you DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

[davidclark]

Looking at the cost of Calcium Carbide (which is what you mean), it would be a lot cheaper to just use natural gas.

[paulfrost]

If your going to make acetylene 1st; store it in a gas bottle 2nd; use a flash back arrester to prevent your storage bottle exploding if the flame gets sucked back down the pipe to the bottle or just go and buy a bottle from an authorised outlet.

I remember one thing in chennai some 45yrs ago. There was a house in which they had buffaloes and suppling milk. They dug up a well and all the buffaloes maintains cowdung and gomoothara diverted into the well. They made a gas pipeline. They had shops in the front and one was hotel. This bio gas was used in the hotel.

[okochapatrick]

I can only take three (3) things away from this video i.e. (1) the maker of the video is a dense chemist for thinking CaCO3 is same thing as CaC2. (2) For thinking that every combustible gas is LPG (3) For him to have garnered over 3.7million views in 6months implies that many people are indeed interested in a cheaper, alternative source of energy.

[englishforre.]

it is a great invention. it would many people. you are serving for the masses. Congrats. Do try to invent more.

When I was a kid it was a number one entertainment to find leftover carbide from construction and throw in the puddles and watching explosions. My childhood was actually pretty bad ass comparing to modern kids :)

[carlosbuzon]

Those rocks are call carburo in Spanish, when you wet them you’re getting gas very flammable ¡
Is what you can use for light a fire under the rain, and many others use like welding when you mix the gas with oxygen

[johnrichardson]

The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862 and there's me thinking this man could turn dog shit into gold

[AM-dnlk]

There is no LPG here. Also Calcium Carbonate and water gives nothing flammable. I can only speculate that what was used was Carbide and not CaCO3.

V.nice& simple. Thanks poor& middle class benifitted.

[Gabriel-gabriel]

what you show here is first of all not free, and secondly, it is a highly dangerous chemical reaction, and I have seen a lot of people dying or damaged for life from the unsafe use of the calcium carbonate.
