Safety: Did EPG Hydrazine contribute to Stanley Meyer's death?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this forum - so if this is in the wrong place please forgive.

Safety: Did EPG Hydrazine contribute to Stanley Meyer's death?

Hydrazine is a simple molecule you can get by combining nitrogen and hydrogen gas.

Hydrazine N2H4
N2 + 2H2 -> N2H4 endothermic
N2H4 -> N2 + 2H2 highly exothermic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine

I watch RWG vids and read about the EPG and I see that hydrazine combination coming. It's really attractive to sweeten the combustion gases with something as explosive as hydrazine vapor. Ionized atmosphere is going to be 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen - so in mixing this with hydrogen gas there is a chance of getting hydrazine.

However, since Stan's time we've learned that hydrazine has a nasty effect on the brain's blood vessels. The patent cited below is a treatment for blood vessels that are too thick. They can be thinned by inhibiting the Lysyl oxidase (LO) enzyme - and guess what - hydrazine does that. The Acta Tropica scientific journal citation suggests we figured this effect out in 2000. If the blood vessels become too thin one could become a bit "loopy" and ultimately a cerebral aneurysm might occur.

"Stanley Meyer died suddenly on March 21, 1998 after dining at a restaurant. An autopsy report by the Franklin County, Ohio coroner concluded that Meyer had died of a cerebral aneurysm, but conspiracy theorists insist that he was poisoned to suppress the technology ..."

I of course have no idea what actually happened to poor Stanley. I've just slapped this up in the hope nobody gets hurt doing this work. Perhaps we need to move past Stanley in this case and reject any nitrogen and hydrogen mix and stick with just an oxygen and hydrogen mix.

Patent 7498332    Therapy for cerebral vasospasm
"Lysyl oxidase (LO) is the enzyme primarily responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin fibers once these molecules have been secreted into the extracellular space. (Rucker et al, Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 67(suppl.):9965 (1998).) Collagen fibrils are substantially strengthened with the addition of cross-links between and within fibers that restrict movement of the fibers under tension." ...
"LO can be inhibited specifically and strongly by small molecules such as .beta.-aminopropionontrile (BAPN), .beta.-bromoethylamine, p-halobenzylamines, ethylenediamine and homocysteine thiolactone. Weaker inhibitors of LO (e.g.competitive inhibitors) can also be used such as hydrazine, dipyridyl, phenylhydrazine and semicarbazide. (See Kagan, Acta Tropica 77:147 (2000).)"

Thanks for this, it deals with a number if issues. One concern that I have with these experiments is that I make gases that I wasn't expecting and either blow my house up or blow my brains out. I'm looking at gas sensors/detectors so I know which gas to enter on the insurance claim. ;)

When using tap water in any electrolysys, I think its a good possibility that there are more gasses than hho.  Chlorine gas is one likely possibility.  I would at least vent the gasses outside of your house.  Better safe than sorry!
