HHO Cell Flash Back Protection

One major safety feature that most people tend to over look is flash back protection for there HHO systems.  These flash ports, one way check valves, or pressure releases (all have same effect) need to be on your system in case hydrogen ignites inside the tubing of your system.  Without flash back protection all of the HHO in the system will ignite and since there is no pressure release it is at risk of exploding.  This will ultimately ruin your cell and you will have to start again from scratch.   Flash back ports can be as simple as using a T-connector and putting an empty balloon at one end so if there is an explosion it will blow off the balloon.  That is pretty archaic so I recommend either buying a one way check valve or making a flash port for your bubbler.  Trust me, unless you want an explosion to occur where it will ruin everything you have made, buy or make some sort of flashback protection.  The video below is a quick tutorial on how this guy makes his flashports for his bubbler out of relatively cheap parts.  Enjoy the video!
