Water burns and we don’t mean when it’s hot. If new discoveries are to be believed, water can be turned into fire.
Based on new discoveries in the US, believe it or not, water can be used to weld metals, cut through inch thick steel, and even fuel your car.
This is done by using a system that turns water into a gas called “Brown’s Gas”. Brown’s gas is simply water broken down into its constituent parts, Hydrogen and Oxygen and recombined in a specific manner under a specific pressure. When these two gases are re-combined under pressure, they can be lighted and will produce an implosion that releases massive heat and energy.
California inventor and Professor Yul Brown has developed a system (and has since patented it) that will convert plain tap water to a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, another state of water besides ice, water, or steam, and he has aptly called it as Brown’s Gas.
Brown’s gas’ explosive (actually implosive) nature can be used for many things, not the least of which is welding metals together. It can be used for desalinating any water into pure drinking water, to create a vacuum to pump water up from the ground, to sublimate tungsten, and cut steel.
Brown’s gas is efficient, safe, clean and inexpensive to maintain. Already there is are some Brown’s Gas Welders available, and though far from perfected and may cost a bit higher than regular welders, the cost of running them in the long term will more than compensate for the price. No more dangerous oxy-acetylene tank, simply water and machines that use Professor Brown’s system.
Another way in which the discovery of Brown’s gas is significant is on the area of fuel efficiency and gas saving.
Brown’s Gas is a major component of the new and fast becoming popular Hydro Assist Fuel Cell or HAFC. This system has shown an ability to significantly reduce gas consumption in motor vehicles.
HAFC technology’s effectiveness is based on its ability to extract a hydrogen-oxygen mixture – yes, the aforementioned Brown’s gas – from water by ionization using the car’s electricity generated from the motor. The Brown’s gas is then added to the fuel before it is burned in the engine. This adds explosiveness to the mixture making the fuel burn more easily and more powerfully.
The Brown’s gas extracted from the water kin the cell is used to enrich the fuel mixture. Enriched fuel is more combustible and has more power. This allows the car to use less fuel but get the same if not greater amount of burn.
Studies show that HAFC systems improve gas mileage at least 50%. This increase in mileage and fuel economy may vary from vehicle to vehicle, and depending on vehicle’s usage.
These are currently some of the promising uses for Brown’s Gas. It is a discovery that will greatly benefit many industries particularly the auto industry. Once brown’s gas and the use of HAFC go mainstream, it will greatly lessen America’s reliance on oil, as well as empower consumers.
