going back to the atomic torch.
The oxygen and hydrogen are mixed in the right ratio so the
gases swirling through the conical nozzle exibit a suitable flame,
there is a small blue cone at the nozzle which is approx 1340 degrees F
after the cone is an arc of 440V 400hz that ionizes the hydrogen.
When the ionized hydrogen hits the metal it gives off much energy in the form of heat. (The cutting process is with the addition of oxygen as a jet )
My question regarding radiation has never been answered. I believe a Geiger counter would show significant levels. Better yet if it could be shown to be safe that would be good. I could never find out about radiation and the atomic torch. I could never understand why governments have not published this information because if it is atomic then that would be a public safety concern and not for a backyard project.
