Electrolytic gas producer apparatus is provided wherein a water inlet has a pressure sensor and solenoid valve control passes water through a filter by pump to a reservoir. Cell chambers maintain electrolyte by supply pump and solenoid valve delivering to the cell via solenoid valves responsive to a level sensor. Gas outlet apertures extend into a polling manifold via solenoid valves and thence to a wash tank. The gas is removed from the tank via a manifold to a vacuum pump which draws the gas through a first filter including a drain line and a secondary filter for residual moisture removal. After the pump the gas passes under water in a flashback arrester filled with metal mesh. The gas then travels to a moisture removing filter and delivery pumps for delivery via intermediate solenoid valves, an outlet manifold, and final solenoid valves which control delivery to an electronically monitored outlet flashback arrester comprising infrared sensors to detect and signal a flashback condition.

[ I claim:] [19.] A method of producing mixed hydrogen and oxygen gas comprising the steps of:providing a gas production apparatus comprised of a housing containing acidified water electrolyte and a plurality of substantially planar electrodes disposed in substantially parallel spaced relation in said electrolyte, the placement of the inter electrode being selected such that produced gases are constrained by an adjacent electrode, thereby causing turbulence in said electrolyte at the respective electrode, at a planar surface thereof;connecting alternate electrodes to respective poles of a direct current supply of a potential difference sufficient to cause electrolysis of said electrolyte;collecting produced gases from a top of said housing, and supplying make-up water to said housing to replace electrolyte that was electrolyzed to gas;an integrated control means adapted to control at least one of an electrolyte level, a composition and a temperature, a voltage and a current consumption, and a produced gas delivery pressure,wherein said control means comprises a programmable logic controller responsive to sensor inputs,wherein collection means collecting the gas from the housing is adapted to extinguish ignition of the produced gas; wherein said collection means includes a flashback arrester comprising an arrestor housing packed with stainless steel wool and adapted to be partially filled with water, a gas inlet led by a conduit to a point below a surface of the water, and a gas outlet collecting from a headspace above said water.
