Welding with water? This Fox-26 news footage shows inventor Dennis Klein using a novel form of electrolysis to produce a gas with some unique properties. Klein's gas, or H-H-O, burns through a process of molecular sublimation in which the temperatue of the flame depends on the material it contacts. Is this the beginning of a new revolution in hydrogen technology?

Klein's company, Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc, is leveraging this new production technique for the H2O 2000 series welder -- a cutting torch with some very unique properties. The claim is that Klein's gas, which is produced by an electrolysis technique, burns through a process of molecular sublimation, meaning that the temperature of the flame depends on the material that it comes into contact with.

For instance, the Klein's gas itself burns at a baseline temperature of 259 degrees F, meaning that you can pass your hand through it without getting burned -- however, put the same flame on a hardened-steel ball-bearing, and the metal becomes molten in less than 3 seconds. Still not convinced? Klein's other experiments have included cutting through tungsten like butter & melting pieces of firebrick. The temperature of the flame as it contacts these materials reportedly exceeds 10,000 degrees F, demonstrating the versatility of this gas for a number of applications.
