The first way I can think of off the top of my head is chaining a couple of hundred feet of clear tubing in a circle, fill it with gas, light it at one end then measure the time it takes to get to the other end.
I know that for about 30 feet of tube, it happens so fast that it looks like a neon tube turning on and off for a split second.
With your eyes, you can't see it traveling the length of tubing. That is pretty fast I would say.
You really did a great job on this! You're no yahoo, ha ha. Now what I would really like to see next would be an easy to build "HHO Quality Meter" that would measure the "lifting power" of the gas. Sort of like William A. Rhodes did. Oh and also a way to measure the flame speed (getting carried away now!) like he did also.
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate that very much.
Anyone can building something similar or better, but you gotta give people a 'benchmark' to compete against or the standards will start to slip. *grinning*
Thanks for the Kudos.
As for measuring flame speed....

I read that it burns at about 40,000 qubic feet a second.

I had hear "linear feet" but I won't argue the point.
The intent is correct. :)

have you thought a bout selling your flow meter and what is your projected cost

I built 8 units a while back. Its mentioned in one of my other videos.
I only built those as a service to fellow HHO experimenters who happen to catch my videos.
I have no intention of selling these for a living. (Well, not today anyway. ;-))
