New Torch design uses only water and electricity

[khan]

This new torch designed in Europe uses electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen... then it recombines them at the torch nozzle...
The torch is controlled by how much electricity its using at the moment to do the electrolyses.

They finally got a browns gas torch going. The torch may be new but the tech is older than a lot may think 100 year

There on eBay under electrolyte torch some are under 200 buck these used to be 1000 or more

witchcraft!

Nice to see them working on a version of the old Brown's gas tech designed for mass market use, should bring the price down on components like the gas generation parts. I checked this out when I was first building a torch, but none of the common home build designs for an oxyhydrogen generator seem to separate the two generated gasses.

I've never worked with an oxy/hydrogen torch, I understand it's capable of a much hotter flame, has anyone here used one with glass?

I know people use it for quartz. Don't know about boro though.

For 200 bucks seems like someone on here will order one up. Thinking they will be the next nail guy oy bagger ripper.

am i wrong in thinking that if its hot enough for quartz, it'll work boro no problem?

I've heard people say that it's too hot. I think this guy's working soft glass, though, so. . .

Too hot ? Are u slow? Work higher in the flame then, Jesus Christ! I like the idea of burning water. Sounds mystical even tho I understand it completely.

You are the one that is slow. A flame can definitely be too hot for boro. And you mean farther out in the flame, not higher in the flame.

no one has really said whether this thing is gonna work good for boro. I am curious, pardon if its a dumbass question. But are those hydrogen torches to hot for boro? I know they are for quartz. Just curious. I was watching videos on these torches last night, i think my shares of the videos may bave lead to this thread

dont you work colder with softglass??

[Cosmo]

Yes. You need a lot less flame and heat. Honestly he's working that hotter than most people work soft glass. It's getting really hot and drippy.

[glassdocnc]

That doesn't look like soft glass to me. I'm guessing it's boro worked really hot and looking a little like 104.

[glassmax]

Nice technique.
On that vid he´s definately not working with soft glass.
But the question is if its possible to run a burner with a BIG flame ?
