TL;DW: normal electrolysis doesn't work because electrolysis with salt water gives you H2 and Cl2 (hydrogen; and chlorine gas, which kills humans). But they desalinate the water and use K-OH (potassium hydroxide) as a catalyst.

The second way is to burn a special candle that is made out of Fe (iron) and NaClO3 (sodium chlorate) , and the heat releases O2 from the NaClO3.

Man, Destin is cool, but a 30 minute video to answer that question?
