Also, acid is usually used in the electrolysis solution, and you have to be confident of scrubbing that out before breathing the gas in. If you don't, then I suspect you would rapidly have even more trouble breathing!

I have produced hydrogen and it is very explosive. I produced some with soada and Al in a beer bottle with core and a jet..burnt for while but blew up did t bust the bottle but the cork hit that roof hard and the glass tube shattered and came down on me.like snow.
Scrubbing is not a problem.. baking soda solution and charcoal I bet would do it...I have been planning a unit before I thought of what to do with the oxygen..the hydrogen..see how much you can get from a couple of panels maybe enought to run your gas stove.

Yes but getting one is not easy as they control them rather tightly it seems..they won't issue one to my brother in law until he gets worse..I just think it would be good to have it there for a day that he will need it waiting for the ambulance probably. And honestly with the fires I would not mind one ...there were days where it got hard to breathe there was so much smoke..and it was all over.
