Brown's Gas Facts

 

Gas and its flame have been used in and exhibits characteristics:

 1) Used in a car the gas combusts and emits water vapor as the only effluent in its exhaust.

2) A solid-state refrigeration unit in which temperature could instantly be changed with no freon or other refrigeration chemicals.

3) A room heater fueled with the gas will carbonize a strip of paper held near it but not create flames or smoke.

4) Used in an acetylene torch it singed hairs from a welder's forearm but didn't burn the skin.

5) Flame from this gas can glaze concrete thus rendering it impervious to acids and other corrosives and greatly extending the concrete's useful lifespan.

6) The gas when burned does not explode but implodes. "An intriguing situation arises when a volume of Brown's Gas is detonated because the contraction in that volume which occurs is revolutionary in character. Of an order of 1,860:1, the contraction can be defined as an implosion, as opposed to an explosion." 1979

7) When heating water in an iron basin using a torch if applied only to the water barely raises its temperature even after long exposure. The flame applied to the bottom of the basin raises the temperature of the metal so high, and so instantly, that the water boils away almost in the blink of an eye. When directed at a brick under the surface of the water, however, the flame can heat the brick as easily as though the brick was not water covered.

8) Steel, after treatment with the flame, is much more impervious to rust and before treatment.

9) The flame can fuse plastic to titantium.
