Oxyhydrogen POP

We're working on testing the efficiencies of running oxyhydrogen in an internal combustion engine. It is to be mixed with the air intake to add a "boost" to the standard engine's fuel. Once we set up the electrolysis to create the gas we had to see if what we made was good stuff... hence the video... That bottle is about 250mL of Oxyhydrogen. We were able to produce it in about 10 minutes running at about 2.0A. Oxyhydrogen is just the breakdown of water into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen(O2). You introduce a certain amount of energy to break the bonds and the result is a gas that is 33.3% O2 and 66.6% H2. That ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is sufficient for the hydrogen to combust. The only byproduct of the explosion is water vapor.
