HHO Home Heating

[gazzzwp]

Hi Sir

I am looking at quite an ambitious project - namely using HHO to heat a cast iron multifuel stove - possibly by filling it with fire brick material.  Can anyone offer me any advice regarding flame spread/diffusion to enable this idea to work?  I understand that a directed hydrogen flame is capable of cutting metals, and so I would need the flame to be more spread similar to a natural gas/calor gas heater nozzle.  Do you think this would be a question of nozzle diameter and gas pressure?  Any ideas appreciated.

yes ,hydrogen will burn with very high temperature in pure oxygen.That is the way the metal cutters are made.

In ur case a use of excess air would work as a temperature buffer.simply allow air to premix with the HHO before u will ignite it(simple venturi nozzle).Hydrogen burns with almost every amount of oxygen supplied,so going very lean is not a problem and it will significantly drop the temperature of the operation  . What u will get is more exhaust gases with lower temperature (vs less exhaust gasses with high temperature in pure HHO burn mode).
In the end, u will have the same energy harnessed and lower operational temperature.

Quite a few years back I had read an article on how to convert a natural gas heater to burn using Hydrogen gas, but that was a long time ago and I don't have a link to the original article.

I remember something about running the Hydrogen gas through a Stainless Steal mesh much like a scouring pad and apparently it didn't need any ignition as the catalytic reaction was self igniting 

I'm not sure how useful this information is compared to using HHO but you may want to search the net, the original article may still be floating around somewhere.

i woundt worry about the temperature as much as whats going on with the flame, and id start small with a bunsen burner and mabe keep adding them on to each other, if your only makin 1-2 lpm double it so there is less flashback probubility, i dont think you have enough gas to really cut anything with ....do ya??? have you made a torch yet? all you need is a needle valve and a flame cop/arrester. i think i remember bunsen burners being real cheap....

This is already being make and sold in the USA so we can glean from an working device and make our own plans for all to have.    Your input will be between 300-350 watts and should be enough for 1500 square feet.   What is that about 
on juice 24/7 would be about $35 buck monthly.......  HOORAY  we all could make these, lets make safe plans and get started.   Please find and show any and all pix and plans so we can get this started.  You will have to add water as fuel though!
