Doing some designing and need to know if its possible in the slightest.

Part of your design process is to determine what gases will be produced, and how they must be handled. Water is the main product and that is a liquid so it is piped out. Carbon monoxide might be a product with some fuels. That is toxic, so it has to be removed somehow. The rest depends on your fuel and your electrolyte. Some designs use sulfuric acid, and you certainly don't want to breathe the fumes. Generally speaking, all products should be removed through pipes so they can be properly disposed, and nothing allowed to escape where someone might inhale them.
That is not a hydrogen cell, that is hydrolysis. A hydrogen cell generates electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrolysis does the reverse. The gases are explosive. You normally would have a tube or hood over each electrode to capture the gases and keep them separate. Go to wikipedia.com and search for "hydrolysis" to get general information. The links at the end of the article might be useful.
Thank you. The proses that I was going to use was a simple hydrogen cell. Converting water or brine water into there base elements (hydrogen & oxygen) The use of additives or chemicals is strictly forbidden on this project so no worries there. Just needed to know if the hydrogen and oxygen mixture (in the right quantities) coming from this will be able to sustain life. I don't want there to be a risk of asphyxiation or hypoxia.
