How to make a Flashback Arrestor...

That was pretty cool in slow mo.. I still dont think I would stand in front of the cell testing that lol. Who knows if one of the stones cracks apart during the flash back before the last one that makes a mess. Looks like its the right idea though.

All, air stones are a good idea, BUT! Sadly I have heard that these stones are not good for this application. The stones are not built to withstand the force that the H H O will give when lit like this.

Overall I have stoped by a battery place an found some old caps. Found some plastic aresters but not ceramic.

Non the less I see the flow rate of being a problem.

Any hoo, just for safety's sake, I will pass on the air stone and try the battery vent...

Hope for testing soon.

Thanks guys!!!

It may not be safe but at least it works. What about a coral type substance? Or those things parrots have in their cages to chew on? Or those stones people have in their baths to scrub off dead skin?
With regard to holes i did a bit of a calculation and if you were piping your HHO down a 10mm bore tube you would need about 800 0.015 inch holes to equal the same cross sectional area as the 10mm tube. Thats a lot of holes!
