yeah, since the flammable range for H2 is pretty wide.

So do it in the back yard, not the garage or living room.

And if it's just a few cc of H2, I'd think the pressure pot would 
contain any "momentary overpressure"


This does bring up an interesting idea for time-nut-ty experimentation.  
Is there a cheap connector/feedthrough that can take 100 psi or so to be 
able to make measurements "in-situ"? Hermetic RF connectors are 
available (not cheap new, but perhaps surplus), but I've only used them 
for 15 psi differential (e.g. atmosphere outside to vacuum inside). I've 
also used non-resistor spark plugs as HV hermetic feed throughs (there's 
some specific Champion number that has a particularly long reach).  
Something like a D-sub with a dozen or so pins might be convenient, 
especially if it's round (since round holes are easier to drill)
