Interesting enough, it is the first question people ask when they first heard of this hydrogen-on-demand system. They thought that the hydrogen produced will explode (implode to be more correct) easily.
The short answer to this question is, it is as safe as using gasoline as fuel. Note that a fuel does not normally burn without open fire, just like gasoline does not burn in the tank or being pumped through the fuel line.
Note that we are not replacing gasoline or diesel with hydrogen completely. We are using hydrogen as fuel supplement, meaning we are feeding only a small amount of oxy hydrogen into the vehicle engine to boost combustion efficiency. And the hydrogen is produced on demand, meaning it is produced as much it is needed. In this sense, it is even safer burning this on-demand hydrogen than storing and burning gasoline.
Lastly, this conversion process is completely reversible - you can install it or take it off easily. So it will not void your auto manufacturers warranty. It simply acts as an add-on to significantly increase your fuel efficiency.

About Site Admin: Trained as a chemist in the field of electrochemistry (Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Calgary supervised by Dr. Viola Birss). So this new way of saving fuel with a cleaner engine exhaust by injecting H2/O2 mixture (HHO) from water electrolysis gets me excited. Currently working on testing various HHO generators and perfecting the electrode design for optimized H2/O2 production.
