Pretty simple way to get soda at home. Based on the simple dissolution of CO2 in water. To do this, we will build a CO2 generator. Its work is as follows: during the interaction of vinegar with soda, CO2 is released, then it passes into the second vessel and there it dissolves in our carbonated liquid. Just not true?

We need: vinegar, soda, a couple of plastic bottles, a tube, a piece of tissue or toilet paper.


Here is what we did:
As can be seen from the figure, two bottles are securely connected by a tube. Please note that in the second bottle where our carbonated liquid will be poured, the tube goes to the very bottom, and in the first bottle where the reaction will take place - the tube peeks out from under the cap.

In the first bottle we pour 100 - 150 ml. vinegar, into our second liquid, which we will carbonate. Close the second bottle tightly.


Then we turn in our toilet paper st. a spoonful of baking soda. This is done in order to fall asleep at once soda and not lose CO2


We throw and quickly close.


The reaction begins! For better absorption of CO2 by liquid, it is necessary to shake it and also, to increase the reaction, shake a bottle with soda and vinegar. In short, both bottles are best shaken alternately.


After a while, the reaction will end and you will get a do-it-yourself soda!


One of the western companies even sells this device.

    you need to make a device, make a scientific station for the production of soda. this requires two stainless steel thermoses of 1.5 liters each. automobile compressor and power supply aquarium hose or gas line. what was stronger was to pull one into the other, see diameter. a tube for soda will come from the case of a mercury thermometer, lower it on the fishing line and close the therms then the second then shake the first and the tube will turn over and the reaction will begin, any apple vinegar is the same. to speed up the process, connect the compressor to the first thermos to push the remaining gas into a thermos with juice sold in stores in 3-liter glass jars.

    I tried once, but the second can of water was not quite tight, I had a pipe until the middle and when the process was over we got ordinary water, does it all affect manufacturing?
    And from pressure nothing will explode?

    Do you need to close quickly quickly, or you can just close slowly?
    After all, is CO2 also emitted?

    It can be easier.
    Just throw soda and citric acid into the juice. Everything is ready.

    hat, took a four-piece - 2 pcs, made tubes, soldered the lids so that it would not pass, poured fruit juice into another liter of vinegar in one, but before that I put a packet of soda there, the reaction went concrete, but as a result zilch. Do not get fooled, buy a siphon.

    Frankly, it turned out, but minus just the taste of soda, and there are no gases themselves, but cool)

    Denis Lebedev,
    the water should be very cold, the colder the better it will be aerated. and you will not gasp warm water.

    for normal soda per 1 liter of water, you need 6 liters of carbon dioxide (in the gaseous state), these are two cans of 12 grams.
