Brown's Gas contains a
stoichiometric proportion of
hydrogen and oxygen gases. Brown's Gas is practically
indistinguishable from Oxy-Hydrogen as they both
are produced from water, are colorless, and are odorless. Brown's Gas,
just as a pure quantity of hydrogen, has significantly less energy per
unit weight as compared to a quantity of carbon fuel; specifically
because of this it is impractical to use it to completely substitute
carbon fuel at this time. Just as in a Oxy-Acetylene torch setup,
Brown's Gas can be used to increase the combustion efficiency of carbon
fuels. Such an application will produce similar results as using tanked
oxygen to enhance a carbon fuel; the only difference being that tanking
is not required as Brown's Gas is inherently produced on-demand. Brown's Gas
also has torch applications, and independent of the debate on its
widespread practicality there are instances where it's unique properties
establish novel applications.
