This is a good video! It seems really easy to build now. I just have one question. Is the air flow with the arrestor just as good as the airflow without one?

I use a similiar design with all my flash back arresters.Basically i just use a larger tube and more broze wool packed nice and tight.. to loose could cause you problems...

[pyroduck7]

was that a mains supply running through water ? or a 9v battery with a step up transmitter? or something different? ( i dont mean thew flash back arrestor)

Hello. I would like to tell me as it has built the hydrogen generator, with the torch. It agradeceria.

[tvryb]

nice setup! looks very familiar (ha ha)

[AllgoodAutomation]

Thanks All for your comments!

Yup! there is all the evidence you need to confirm the gas Explodes and then implodes when burned. Both!! Soon to have a video on that.

@AllgoodAutomation

I was browsing around your videos and noticed that you are using a flashback arrestor's with metal material inside the flashback arrestor that will fail. Beware of the flashback arrestor that you are using I have done experimenting in the past and they do fail. I want you to go on to my YouTube site and you will see the flashback arrestor's I sell with a 30 day money back guarantee. You would need them in your future experiments in your new room.

I think that if your purpose was to get the torch to work, you would want to move the arrestor up as close to tip of torch as possible. But for purpose of demonstrating the effectivness of the flash arrestor, this video is "right on"!

Watch the water level in your bubbler when you get your ignition in the tube. You are creating low pressure in the bubbler. The water level jumps up, pulls gas from your reactor then settles back down. I think you just demonstrated the implosion effect. Very cool. And you did not blow yourself up! Even cooler.

[CarbideTip]

Yes, To me that is the importance of the video. I think sometimes we think the bubbler is exploding but it could be the sudden change of state of the water in the bubbler.

[CarbideTip]

Quick note. If the bubbler was round or slightly stronger and the water temp was just right (warmer) the water would instantly change to vapor. Then it would have blown the top off from excess pressure.

[SmartScarecrow]

I am not so sure. I think it might suck the lid IN not push it out. I think I see in the video that the sides of the bubbler are actually pinching in on ignition. It looks to me like there is some vacuum being pulled from the outlet side of the bubbler. I suspect that the increase in bubble activity on ignition is caused by the low pressure in the bubbler pulling gas out of the reactor vessel.

[SmartScarecrow]

can tell you from personal that when the flame front makes it all the way back to bubbler, she blows. There may be an implosion that follow the explosion but there aint enough bubbler left by then to detect it. This demo is cool because the flame never gets to the bubbler but the low pressure in the tube is pulling vacuum on the outlet. Very interesting.

[CarbideTip]

Yes, explosion then implosion. If there was no flex in the container, all vacuum would be subjected to the water. (Consider feed and supply line length and dia too) Then, lowering its vapor pressure. Remember, water to vapor is about 1500 to 1.

Works great!

Is it the wool that breaks up the flame-front and puts out the flame that way?

Is the flame still creeping down the tube when you take a hyperdermic needleas tip? Or a bundle off tiny hyperdermic needles glued together as flash-back device....

Sorry I had to Remove this video and replace it to correct a mistake.
