Anyone ever have any explosions? Ive had alot but most were small, 2 made me loose my hearing for a while. The last explosion almost blew my hand off. I have a nice bubble now :D

I work on an ambulance, so I pick up people like you. I've learned from others to be very careful. Safety first.
I would like to do some controlled explosions though.

I was trying to run a engine on it and it sounded like it was wanting to start and I put my finger on a breather hole in the cell I had. As soon as I blocked the hole POP. I never seen pvc come apart like that. I dont do that anymore, now Im careful.

About 6 months ago, I was trying to build an HHO torch. I was using course steel wool as my spark arrestor (supposed to use fine bronze wool). Luckily, I had my bubbler with a safety device like the kind zerofossilfuel uses. It was quite loud; my neighbours almost called the cops.

I think I already shared this one, but here goes...

I lit the foam in the top of my reservoir after I turned the cell off (this was in the kitchen). My wifes dog, a pikinese, **** herself (literally), wasn't fun to clean up!

I filled a ballon once and put about 3ft of masking tape on it and lit the tape on fire and let it float away. I need a weather balloon, that would be way better.

to prevent explosion use ss strapping not wires to handle the heat, and putting your connections under water helps. on the hho generator or the bubbler put a one way spring valve ( not connected to any hoses) so if u get excessive pressure or a explosion it will be released through the one way spring valve.

I did sortof the same but I had a threaded hole for 1/2" pipe and I just used a hot glue gun and glued a piece of plastic in it. It doesnt take much to pop it off.
