What is Brown’s Gas? -
“Brown’s Gas” is basically mono-atomic Hydrogen (Hydrogen
atoms that have not met up with other Hydrogen atoms to form H2) and Oxygen
that live together in a perfect stoichiometric ratio. It has properties that
are mysterious, misunderstood, and yet well documented by a handful of
competent researchers. Most of my work has been in this area. Can Brown’s gas be stored? No. Mono-atomic Hydrogen will combine with other H atoms
to create a more stable H2 molecule. However, under a reasonably stable
environment, it will stay in mono-atomic form for a short amount of time. It
is in this form that it can be used as a combustion catalyst or burned
directly as a torch flame. It can NEVER be stored safely. Why is it called Brown’s gas? Generally, it is named after Yule Brown, who did
much research with the gas. However, there is controversy over who actually
discovered it. How is it made? Brown’s gas is created by electrolysis, but
needs to be under controlled conditions to keep the Hydrogen atoms from
reforming immediately to H2. One can tell when this is happening properly
because less heat is created and more gas is created with the same amount of
energy input. Why is it special? That
question is being researched, but it may be in the fact that Brown’s
gas has a higher energy potential than H2 (“Perfect’
Brown’s gas can have as much as 3.8 times the possible heat energy than
an ordinary H2 and O2 flame has.) Mono-atomic Hydrogen atom size may also
contribute to how it reacts with substances. What are some of the unusual properties?
·
As a flame in
open air, it has very low radiant eat. (You can put your finger right next to
it.) ·
When the same
flame is exposed to a substance, it can reach temperatures high enough to
sublimate Tungsten (6000 deg F +) ·
It seems to
rise to the melting point of whatever substance it is in contact with. Thus,
it seems to be able to heat two materials to two different temperatures at
the same time. ·
Again, the
above energies don’t seem to exist in open air and can’t seem to
be accounted for. This just raises more questions. |
