Cooking pasta with HHO

[jdcmusicman]

@ jeanna
I been doing research in using HHO for cooking about a month or two and have found that as long as there are small flames you want burn thru the pot/pan... and also as long as there is something in the pan/pot to absorb the heat , it will not burn thru no matter what the size of the flame ...
I have tested this with a 10 lpm torch ,as long as there is something there its fine but take that away and it will melt right thru ....

Nab00o,
From the way you stated this, it appears that you may think this is Hydrogen gas you are producing here.
Look up hydroxy gas and HHO.
There is a whole lot of information on this on the net.

If I misunderstood your comment, please accept my apologies. I just always want people to realize there is a very big difference between this HHO gas and hydrogen.

What I am finding amazing about this cooking with hydroxy thing is that the flame isn't going through the bottom of the pot!

No you were right, I though that the hydroxy gas production contained both oxygen and hydrogen in a combination, that was also why I was afraid of its explosive potential.

But so to make it clear, hydroxy gas is both hydrogen and oxygen, but combined in a way which makes it less combustible?

Yes. It is both H H and O but in a non steam non vapor form. Unique. It keeps the molecules in their single-atom form so it isn't H₂ and O₂. Different.
It is very combustible, but it IMplodes.
We don't have too much to go on here. It is a new concept a gas that implodes.

I think Eagle Research has the best information. The guy that owns Eagle welds and there is a video of a day long workshop somewhere around Eagle Research. I could be wrong, but that is where I usually go for any refreshers on HHO.

The reason I was asking about the pot burning is because it also has the unique ability to "match" the melting point of the metal. The metal becomes whatever it needs to be to become molten.

@jdcmusicman,
I am really happy to hear that HHO can successfully be used for heating water in a pot. Wow, this is good news. I will watch your youtube videos this weekend.

What size aperture do you use. I assume it is a welding tip? I made a torch with a mig tip. - smallest they had.

Is a propane camping stove the wrong size for HHO?
Has anyone tried this?

I am intrigued by the car thing but since I am not a car guy, and I only use about one 16 gallon tank a month I am not too desperate to make the conversion for my car, but for welding and for heating things like cooking pots and radiators, I am very glad to hear this.

Thanks everybody,

jeanna

As long as there is something in the pot? I assume that is what you are saying??

When does the flashback occur? After you turn off the flame but it is still hot?
I can't figure it out just from what people say.

It is spring in the northern hemisphere, and I am getting ready to try this out. I did other things this winter, and now or soon, --- Outside first.

So, advice is welcome.
Advice based on personal experience, please. I am not interested in advice based on theory.
People like jdcmusicman and any others who have actually had experience, are who I  mean when I say advice is welcome, please.

thanks,

jeanna

@jeanna

As far as something being in the pot yes , but also if you make a bunch of little flames ,it will not burn thru , even if its empty ..

I have had very few flashbacks with my setup so far ....
I have managed to run 19 tips (flames)...
I am using mig tips but have smashed the top down with a hammer to close the holes up some ...
The Approximate hole size in my tips are .010
At this hole you can run minimum of 123 ml per min per tip,without a flash back 95% of the time ....
The minimum I can run my 19 tips off of is 2.3 LPM ....I run normally at 3.2 - 5 lpm..

I have future plans of adding 8 more tips to my setup and when I get everything tested , flashback free , i will build a permanent burner...

My goal is to get as many flames as i can with no issues but stay in a range of only 500 - 900 watts ....

Thanks Jdcmusicman
