If you were to make a wireless shower head, would it have hydrogen molecules and suck in the oxygen from the air to create water? Would you have to recharge it with hydrogen?

Was this a thought you had in the shower, or a thought you had about showers?
Also, the pipe carrying water to the showerhead isn’t a wire or cord, and therefore every showerhead is wireless.
I just had that thought 10 minutes ago while showering, so both
You know very well what he means lol
Ibwas about to dislike (not downvote) this one, but after a second of thought, this is great. Because it doesn’t make practical sense, but at least isn’t something based in a fault of understanding of the real world, so good job

You don’t think the idea of a “wireless” shower head is based on a fault of understanding? It’s stupid as fuck.
It’s an intertaining experiment though.
Some other showerthought show less curiousity but being misinformed.

intertaining
Entertaining, right. But what’s with zooming in onto this mistake?
This is not your original shower thought, this is the same shower thought had by Max Pruss, captain of the LZ 129 Hindenburg.
I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is. I’ve never heard of him.
Neither do I, but the Hindenburg famously exploded while being filled with hydrogen.
Ah, okay
showers don’t have wires right now, so I’m confused.
This is a flamethrower
They didn’t say it showers you with water
It would just have a non-removable refillable dihydrogen monoxide battery like all modern wireless devices.
But didydrogen monoxide is also known as hydroxyl acid, and the major component of acid rain.
i think you’re on the cusp on creating the next fad in the wellness industry - find a way to legally call it that and suddenly its flying off the shelves. “it’s so safe you can DRINK it!”
Surely you mean hydrogen hydroxide.
My wireless shower head does’t use hydrogen, it just uses a hose to supply the water. No wires though.
On a scale of 1 to Yes, how high are you?
The act of oxygenating hydrogen is massively volatile and releases a bunch of energy. You could power a large truck with the energy that would be produced when you make barely a trickle of water.
So you’re saying…free water heater!
You know that hydrogen and oxygen burn explosively?
So… A hot shower? With no shortage of water pressure…?
/s
As others have mentioned, pure hydrogen and pure oxygen are both quite flammable. It would be very expensive to extract/filter only the oxygen out of the air while staying portable, but I think we may need to go for a tank-storage design anyways.
I think you’re better off using hydrogen peroxide from a tank (maybe even a backpack?) and breaking that down into water and oxygen (o2)
Pure Hydrogen peroxide is very reactive. It’d explode or burn in contact with organic molecules, such as skin.
Solution at relatively low concentration are still hazardous and toxic.
I would avoid playing with it
Hidrogen peroxide? That means your wireless shower will be heavier than if it’s actually store plain old water instead.
Oxygen itself isn’t flammable actually, but it makes other things more so.
The entire showerthought must be in the title
(Hope) I fixed it
It might not be a good idea to create a device that sucks all the oxygen out of an enclosed space meant for a human during operation 💀
I have engineered a solution for exactly this, believe it or not.
The shower system consists of carbon doped ferrous material coated with a zinc passivation agent. There is a flow control subsystem made of a Cu-Zn alloy which also causes aerosolization of the hydrogen-oxygen payload. The hydrogen-oxygen mixture is pre-processed in a large volume nitrogen container, and precipitated down to the shower system using a combination of thermal effects and manipulation of ambient pressure.
Works really well, only limitation is the amount of precipitate available.
In other words, it’s a metal rain bucket with a faucet.
I imagine a wireless shower head could just be a squirt gun type deal with a shower head on the end.
Or, to stay close to your example, why not two canisters, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then you’re not sucking all the oxygen in the room.
