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

  • 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?

  • 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.

see all

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

  • @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
