I don't know if this would be welding or melting, but the two can be combined. This al is very light and not of a good grade. t6061 would work much better as it can handle more heat before melting.

  • Very interesting.  What type of torch are you using? And what type of fuel gas?

  • hho, hydrogen derived from water. Type of torch, homemade, using a mig welding tip.

  • hiya d3adp001. enjoying your vids.

    Ive always wanted to try this, but never had the hho.

    im going to try with a fresnel lens: melting together silicate rich rock dust, and another metal with electric potential, if you could attatch wires at both ends, and charge it with HV whilst it's all melting & cooling, the ions are supposed to all line up in one direction only, and you have yourself a battery of sorts.

    I was curious if you were willing to have a crack at it :)

    Cheers mate

  • The correct term is brazing. It can be done with any metals that will both liqufy in a range of temperature and one does not boil before the other liquifies. It's soldering if the metals will alloy (they are miscable). It's welding if it does both. Brazing is weaker then soldering and both are weaker then welding.

  • Wrong

    This is melting.those two will not go together

  • this would be smelting

  • No its not, an aquarium pump thrown in the mix answers it pretty easy.

  • Nope it isn't, I work on hear say, more like hear, try, prove. Its based on some chemical calcs, followed up with a real test to find out if math acted like the real world (sometimes it doesn't). But in this case (2H+ O= H2O + heat) so with water thats what it does, extra Oxygen and Nitrogen (air) would be (2H + 2O + 8N= H2O+O+8N + Heat) and since the heat is spread out on the extra O and 8N the ave temp of everything is less.

  • thanks for that info, i didnt know that, i hope this isnt based on here say though.

  • the difference between most fuels and hho is they need oxygen to burn, and the more oxy the more they can burn and the hotter the flame you can get. On torches like that they use a venti effect of sorts to suck in o2 with increased fuel. hho has enough o2 and more actually cools it down and slows the burn because it leans out the mixture.
