Hydroxy Glass Torch Powered by a Bob Boyce Cell

This is a video of my friend making a bead with my HHO fueled glass torch. There is NO Propane or Oxygen Tanks. All of the gas is made by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. It Produces up to 20 Litters per minute of Hydroxy Gas. The torch is running at around 5 Litters per minute for bead making. The Bob Boyce designed cell is made up of 70 8" x 8" stainless steal plates. The box Is made of 1 inch thick acrylic and was CNC machined by my brother and his CNC Bridgeport Mill. The cell is powered directly of the 120 volts AC house current and converted to DC voltage. This cell is only a prototype setup and Not a finished product. There is still many more safety devices to install and modifications to make for full time reliable use.

do you make anymoney off of your glass work? Im thinking of starting up soon and want to be able to turn some profit

[PeteDog444]

I have only just started to make a little money from my glass art. I have switched to Propane and Oxygen tanks because I can make larger pieces. Were I live 0xygen is fairly cheap but the boro is not. The HHO torch was fine for making beads and small pendants but even at 12 LPM it wasn't enough. I could use 4 or five cells like the one I have. The flash backs when you turn the torch off become a problem, any thing over 10 LPM. No flash back arrestor can stop that every time repeatedly.

I am mostly into making sculptural peaces. and it requires more heat than I could get from my HHO torch. If you are going to use HHO exclusively for glass work then you need to contact me at futurehho dt com and I will tell what all you need to do to make you system safe, Function, and reliable. There is no messing around when working with Hydroxy gas. I have more money into my hho system than my Oxy Prop sytem.

@PeteDog444 thanks alot for the reply man, yeah that HHO system stuff seems a little out of my level haha. Im going to go with the oxy prop system for sure. If you dont mind me asking were do you order your glass and equiptment from? Ive found a ton of sites but mabe you know one thats cheaper.... thanks alot

Youtube.com/user/H2OGLass is my other channel for glass only. I have a Night Burner Bullet Torch. It's really a great torch and is almost identical to a C C. I bought it used from a glass forum. If you are new and on a low budget like me then you will need to buy used and get the best you can from some one on the forums. They tend to help you out and give you a much better deal than new. I get my glass from Frantz Art glass, Arrow Springs, and Mountain Art Glass. I am in the NW so Frantz is loc

very cool, how does this compare to an oxy-acetylene torch for working with glass?

[PeteDog444]

It works very well. The flame is very hot and melts Pyrex class easily. I have no experience with oxy and propane torches working glass.

[ZebbMassiv]

wow. I bet you could melt and manipulate quartz glass fairly easily right?

[joewilder]

@crackahcrackah Yes, solar has a very promising future. There's a new super material called graphene. It's sheets of carbon one atom thick that's going to be very useful in solar cell design and will be used in Lithium batteries

[PeteDog444]

Right now with a light concentration of NaOH and a little conditioning it is around 7 MMW.

[jakerwall]

Cool stuff!! What is the Efficiency rating of the cell?

[PeteDog444]

You will need a high amp Variac to adjust the voltage to the cell. I have a 25 amp variac. I'm not even running 2 volts per plate gap. Even with 70 8" x 8" plates I can't even run it straight off the 120 volts AC wall power. with the variac you can dial in what ever amount of gas you want. I can't run full power because it will smoke the wiring in my garage.

[crackahcrackah]

Wow you brought back some memories for me there, showing the glass work. I did that stuff years ago and I miss it. I couldn't afford the required ovens for proper tempering of the glass after work. I might have to get into it again since I'm building my own boyce series cell. Yours is HUGE. It looks like you've got 1ft high plates! Mine is 60 cells, 6"x6" plates, and done Terro style. I'm almost done putting it together. Gotta touch up the holes in the plates. Regards!

[crackahcrackah]

@joewilder It's my belief that using tesla's radiant energy collectors (the first solar panels, and they don't need visible solar light to funciton), that one can tap environmental energy, possibly on a limitless scale, but it has to be studied and worked on to get there. You merely combine Tesla's radiant energy patent with his high frequency current patents to get there. Both use longitudinal waves. PM me if you want patent numbers or other details.

[PeteDog444]

Bob Boyce's design is better than Faraday with out even trying condition it is easily 150% over Faraday. The tip made of chrome plates brass.

[Ace011mm]

@PeteDog444 Very well! This is better then Faradey! What is the tip material? I have problem with copper but brass work well... Also,for veld machine some pressure is good...

[PeteDog444]

A figure around 2200 watt to produce 20 LPM. The coil around the tip is a water cooler to keep the tip from melting. I have all most no pressure on the gas come out to push the flame out away from the tip so the tip would melt with out the heat exchanger. I have a five gallon bucket with ice water in it and a 200 gallon per hour pond pump pumping water through the coil. It works really well.

[knovos]

Woow, what a great, what a gas and a very good idea to cool the tip like that. Bravo!

[Ace011mm]

What is this around the torch? Water cooler? How many watts you need for 20lpm or for1lpm...?

[ashtweth]

You could put a thermo electric energy recovery unit near that flame and put power back to charge batteries , right beside the open flame and still be able to weld...

[joewilder]

I wonder how much HHO you could produce from solar panels on the roof of a tractor trailer. Some of them are about 8' x 40'. You could produce 10KW of power, couldn't you?
