@) Controlled hydrogen gas flame.

@) A sustained controllable gas flame. The hydrogen generator utilized is that for separating gasses from water having impurities and other gasses entrapped therein, The gasses separated from the water comprises hydrogen, oxygen, and the non-combustible gasses, such as nitrogen. The nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen are mixed as they are released in the process by the generator and collected as the mixture of gasses in the collection chamber of the generator. The method and system comprises a nozzle of a given configuration connected through a line to the uppermost region of the gas collection chamber of the hydrogen generator. The nitrogen reduces the velocity and temperature of the burning flame from that of the hydrogen‘oxygen mixture. To further control the temperature and velocity of the burning gas mixture there is added to the collection chamber other non-burnable gasses. The configuration of the nozzle and its port opening is dependant on the mixture of gasses utilized and restricted thereby. An increase in the size of the flame requires additional port openings to prevent blowout.

SYSTEM.

in that process for separating hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water having impurities, the water is passed between two plates of similar non-oxidizing metal. No electrolyte is added to the water. The one plate has placed thereon a positive potential and the other a negative potential from a very low amperage direct-current power source. The sub-atomic action of the direct current voltage on the non-electolytic water causes the hydrogen and oxygen atoms to be separated --- and similarly other gasses entrapped in the water such as nitrogen. The contaminents in the water that are not released are forced to disassociate themselves and may be collected or utilized and disposed of in a known manner.

The direct current acts as a static force on the water molecules; whereas the non-regulated rippling direct current acts as a dynamic force. Pulsating the direct current further enhances the release of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms from the water molecules.
