red laser will burn your eyes out. Be careful.
Will the
red laser ignite the HHO gas?

L.A.S.E.R. --> Light Amplicifation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Basically you get a heavilly doped carrier which when stimulated will cause an electron to shift orbit around the atom, it cannot remain in this higher orbit so must drop back, as it does so the quantum shift dictates that the electron must release its excess energy, as energy cannot be created nor destroyed the energy is liberated as a function of the wavelength of the quantum leap itself generally a multiple of 1/4 or 1/2 the wavelength. Thus the excess energy is released as light. As the quantum jump is dictated purely by the atoms themselves and if the laser material is pure enough then the light will be all of one wavelength. Also built into the laser is a fully reflecting mirror on one end and a 50% reflecting mirror on another, this creates a standing wave inside the laser where light bounces back and forth inside the laser material. Due to these two effects the light is 1) Very pure and 2) In phase. As such it can and will cause retina damage if viewed directly even if the laser is not visible to the human eye. Low power lasers can cause lower damage but care should always be taken to observe strict precautions.
