LOL, funny story, I had just finished building my newest HHO generator, and normally i take a long match stick and ignite the end of the output and watch it make a suction noise and let out a few flames, BUT this ones much much more powerfull, lol, my entire freaking device EXPLODED into 11 pieces!! luckily nothing was broke except the container,(the electrical box found at home depot) but This is a VERY good example of why it pays not to be stupid, i had to buy a new container and redrill everything, so yeah it pretty much sucked, any other funny stories anyone?

I use mine for welding and have never had a problem, of coarse i'm using a flash arrestor. go to a welding supply store and they'll set you up.

I filled a 2liter bottle and lit it for July4. Made a very nice BOOM.
Wife was pitching a fit so I used a 6ft pvc pipe with paper towel taped to the end as a torch. Safe but effective.

LOL I did something similar. I took one of my prototypes, and put some 20oz. bottles in a 5 gallon bucket of water, turned em upside down, and filled em up with HHO. Then I threw them in the bonfire and it was funny seeing everyone's reaction... "Dude, why are you throwing plastic in the fire?".. "cause its gonna be funny"... BOOOM! "What the f**k was that?!?"

lol.

Me and my nephew assembled our first unit this week in his garage. It was putting out pretty good bubbles so he sticks the hose in a plastic water bottle and says... I think i,ll lite it and see if the gas is there.

I told him of coarse the f***king gas is there to not lite that. He walks over to a open area, no lid on the bottle either. I sorta figured all the gas might be leaked out. He put the bottle on the floor and lit it. Holy crap !!!! It sounded like a stick of dynomite, the bottle shot across the room like lightning, blew the bottom off of the bottle even with no lid on the bottle.

LMAO I said, damnnnn!!!!! I told you . I advised him to never do that again. He said if he ever did it again he would wear earplugs,lol
