@LordZarano Good question, 50% of the time the flame just goes out. The other 50% of the time the water causes back pressure, allowing combustion to pass backwards into the torch (flashback). Some time after this video, I added a steel wool flashback arrestor. It does not work as well as a brass wool arrestor would, but it stops most flashbacks as long as it is kept wet.
One of the best videos on HHO I have seen. Awesome!

What happens if you just dunk it in the water?
