-Has anyone managed to create a welder with a larger tip than a hypodermic needle?
-Chris, you mentioned that you were planning on experimenting further with using hydroxy for welding -- Did you ever get a chance?
-Chris, with the pictures you have posted (pages 1-4 or so, and again on pages 20ish of your "Electrolysis Project"), how much gas would you estimate you were producing to sustain that flame?
Welding is my first goal for my little electrolyser, and see what the quality of the welds are like with hydroxy compared to oxyacetylene. I have read that hydroxy welding really oxidizes the weld, causing it to become quite brittle. This information came from where someone claiming to have been welding for 40 years tested out a Browns Gas Welder.
gives some more information about welding with Brown's Gas, such as volumes required for various sized torch tips.
Once my wife's new dresser and kitchen island are done and out of the workshop (few weeks), I'm definitely going to be trying to get more gas out of my electrolysers, and see if I can sustain a reasonably sized flame.
Thanks,
