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.

Cool! I'll be using that system to cut up and scrap out old 35mm projectors at the locations I replace them with Digital [Big Grin]

Thanks Matthew!

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. [Frown]

Thanks Mark. Nice torch though. [Smile]

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.

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.....

And I will then become the new owner of a couple of them, at least. I do have some space in my garage for a couple of extras, too!

I dont want another Holmes 8. Its time to move on.

Me too. Well, I don't know where I could get ripple, so maybe I'll have to substitute with Mad Dog 2020.

...right along with today's "state-of-the-art" D'Cinema servers and cinema "TV" projectors. [Wink]

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
