ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE REMOVED. THIS VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS THE DANGERS OF HHO IF NOT USED CORRECTLY. NO NEED FOR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO SHOW IT. THANK YOU. I made the mistake by putting the tube in such shallow water and ended up exploding my electrolyzer. Lesson learned! This shows just how much energy hydrogen has to offer.

  • What are the chances of tht happening when implemented in a real engine? Can the flame go up into the jar then too ?

  • I dont think so. unless your timing is all screwed up and your intake back fires.

  • well that was dumb!where was your bubbler and flashback arrestor-would have been smarter lighting the top of an open cell.

    YEP like scarecrow said -glass not good.

  • It was day two of experimenting, and I guess you can say that I learned a LOT. haha

  • Could have been worse, lucky you!! I was impressed at how well your camera captured the flame. The scared monkey sound you made after the blast really added to the credibility as well.:)

  • I thought the whole thing was funny.  I must admit, my ass puckered up tighter then a snare drum. I must invest in a bubbler and a flashback arrestor.

  • You are SO fortunate that you were not seriously injured by flying glass. I have been called a panic Pete for trying to get people to stop using glass for their containers and/or bubblers and you documented why.

    Thanks for having the courage to post this video and to admit your error. This example might keep someone from being injured doing this.

  • good warning for beginners

  • OUCH! an HHO warzone of broken glass shrapnel

  • lol that is funny!!, i knew somthin like that would happen in ur last video i saw! im not hating or n e thing ur videos r awsome

  • your bobler is 2 low !!

  • happened to me also. but jar goed only in 2 piece

  • Use a backfire valve, so if u get a backfire it doesn't go into the gererator!

  • This is why I always say to everyone that I see on you tube using glass for this purpose is just plain stupid. You could have killed yourself. You got very lucky that you didn't get hurt very badly. This stuff can be dangerous. It must be treated with respect. Never use glass for an hho container. It turns into a glass grenade.

  • wow.... what tha hell made you try that?? ROFLMAO

  • hi, concerning the comment "glass bomb", i used a very thin walled ridgid container in the past, and when exploded it too shattered...WHY! Well any ridgid material in such a high decibel confined explosion will act the same...AND SHATTER "FAIL".. worth noteing, its the sound wave.

  • Several problems occurred to me that would have eliminated the explosion... on the other hand, maybe you wanted it to explode... If you didn't and for all new HHO experimenters... Use a plastic lid if you have to use the Mason jar design. The plastic lid will explode before the glass jar will. Always have the output tube totally submerged in water. Only light bubbles at top of bubbler. Flash back arrestors are not 100% effective, but 88% effective is better than 0%...
