What do you mean the wool has to be wet? Wet with what? Does it have to be wet before every use?!

[Rain4Fuel]

you can dampen the wool with water or vinegar. I wet mine before every use, but it's only a recreational torch design, not for serious brazing or welding. I would suggest a more efficient and complicated flame arrestor if you are going to do that.

nice torch there:) and yes always use valve, but if you can find fine bronze wool, it works better, and ssc is right a bit of fiberglass closest to the tip helps also, between those two changes flashbacks and near impossible. an added bonus is my flashback/bubbler, it keeps the bronze wet always, and in the unlikely event of flashback it keeps the bubbler from exploding. But the flashback works by absorbing the heat energy with surface area, no energy no flame. nice job.

I'll try that out.

The nutrient (material that will become the ruby crystal) consists primarily of extremely pure aluminum oxide (Al2O3); approximately 5-8% of chromium oxide (Cr2O3) must be added to produce the essential red color. If a star ruby is being produced, a small amount (0.1-0.5%) of titanium oxide (TiO2) is also used.

The flame fusion process uses an oxygen-hydrogen torch to melt powdered forms of the two basic components, whereas the Czochralski process uses some form of electrical heating .

You can use the torch tip from Home Depot

If you get an F-16 Pulse King on ebay it will produce monotomic hydrogen and will supercharge your HHO cell

Try glass wool the yellow stuff used for insulation in roof spaces and around hot water tanks, it works better than the metal wools and is easier to find.

thgis may have already been asked and asnswered but why can't you use a flash back arester just like you use on a standard cutting outfit? Mine are just screwed in my torch line.

Nice video. Is there a reason why aluminum or copper wool should not be used instead of brass wool?

Copper has the best thermo conductivity and copper wool can be purchased at briwax-online. comSLASHGMTCopper. html

Aluminum wool also has a higher thermo conductivity than brass wool.

Page eight of fire. tc. faa. govSLASHpdfSLASHTN05-37. pdf describes flammability of metal wools.

Yeah the bronze damn near blew me up. The bronze on it's own is not enough to be an arrestor. Will try the water filter though. That might make more sense.
