Your right pure O2 is a danger from a combustion perspective. O2 becomes a poison at some thing like 3 atmospheres of pressure not a narcotic. It's nitrogen that becomes a narcotic. I know this thanks to my other hobby S.C.U.B.A. diving.

On the ambulance we frequently give patients 10-15 lpm of pure O2 through a non rebreather mask. Good for heart attacks, strokes and pulmonary edema, but I think it's a bad idea to add it to the engine.
The company I work for makes the chemical for these machines. They work by passing the gasses to be seperated through a molecular sieve which is basiclly a engineered crystal type molecule that traps the nitrogen but allows the oxygen to pass through.
I don't think an "oxygen concentrator" would do anything for HHO due to the different sizes of the hydrogen and nitrogen atoms.
We make a molecular sieve just for filtering hydrogen. Unfortunatly it is made at a different plant from the one I work at but I am working on a way to get some to play with.
There is a lot of info on the web about this stuff. Try search words 13x zeolite, hydrogen molecular sieve
