Author Topic: New gas cutting torch produces over 10,000F! Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-11-2006 10:35 PM                     Found this by accident a while back with help from YouTube. Apparently someone designed a gas cutting torch using a gas called HHO under the brand name Aquygen I believe short for hybrid hydrogen oxygen, a type of oxyhydrogen mixture. click here This torch uses a gas generator using distilled water & standard electric current producing the gas on demand. This torch produces flame temperatures over 10,000 degress F unlike acetylene or other gas. In fact it can be used with cutting & welding applications that conventional processes & methods cannot. More information can be found at the link.  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 08-11-2006 10:51 PM                        Matthew ..... that is amazing  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-12-2006 11:50 AM                     Cool! I'll be using that system to cut up and scrap out old 35mm projectors at the locations I replace them with Digital Thanks Matthew!  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 08-13-2006 04:30 AM                        Cut up and scrap? Destroy and dispose of? That's against my religion. Surely the equipment can find good use somewhere, at least, at your house, or on ebay. Now I've lost all love for the world, Christmas will be cancelled, no toys for the cildren, and my dog will be forced to drink ripple. Thanks Mark. Nice torch though.  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-13-2006 08:42 AM                     quote: Charles Greenlee and my dog will be forced to drink ripple. Do you know a reliable source for Ripple? If so, clue me in. I haven't been able to find it anywhere for the last 8 years.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2006 09:03 AM                     Charles, In 5 years there will be so many 35mm projectors on the market that you will have to pay to have them disposed of.....

I dont want another Holmes 8. Its time to move on.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 08-13-2006 12:45 PM                        Me too. Well, I don't know where I could get ripple, so maybe I'll have to substitute with Mad Dog 2020.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-13-2006 02:29 PM                  quote: Mark Gulbrandsen In 5 years there will be so many 35mm projectors on the market that you will have to pay to have them disposed of..... ...right along with today's "state-of-the-art" D'Cinema servers and cinema "TV" projectors.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2006 02:38 PM                     Phil you are almost right on except I think many of the "tv projectors" will be in the bin before the rest gets cut up  |  IP: Logged
