I was curious I understand that Hydrox is an experiment gas. But what is in it? Is it a mix of gases? I am curious if anyone knows or has any links about it.

Hydrox is a mix of Hydrogen and oxygen
it has only been used experimentally in very low oxygen mixtures in habitats because it can (as you can probably image) explode fairly easily

Wow! Yeah I dont think I would like to dive with something like that. You might as well strap some C4 on yourself and push the plunger. LOL
It is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. It is explosive with oxygen concentrations greater than 3% so it is only used for very deep applications. Hydrogen is a very abundant element and is much easier to obtain than helium but has other issues that makes it unsuitable for recreational diving:bangboom:PaulSmithTek:

I suggest reading the information on this webpage.
Because of the restriction on oxygen content, it can only be used at depth where higher ppO2 will prevent hypoxia. As a result, seperate gas mixtures are required for travel.

Hydrox was actually the original creamy filled chocolate cookie, made by the Sunshine Bakery. They were copied by Nabisco, which introduced the competing Oreo. Eventually the Oreo took over the majority of market share, even though the Hydrox was actually a better cookie. The Hydrox was eventually withdrawn from the market after several decades, in 1996.
how do you prevent it from becoming di-hydrogen monoxide?

MIKE,
I appricate the feed back not quite what I was looking for though. LOL:05:

No problem, I'd just use the resultant electricity to power my dive light.Whatgoesdown:
