Talk:Atomic hydrogen welding

Diamond has a boiling point of 4827 °C, and http://www.lateralscience.co.uk/AtomicH/atomicH.html says it can vaporize diamond. Does it really get that hot? Why are the temperatures reported so different? (3400-4000) That page also agrees that the heat does not come from the hydrogen combining with oxygen but with itself. Why is that? — Omegatron 22:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the hydrogen protects from other gases, but hydrogen itself is destructive: hydrogen embrittlement. — Omegatron 22:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Atomic welding temperature refs:

"in excess of 3700 °C" [1]
"approximately 4000 deg. C." [2]
"3700 degrees centigrade" [3]
"above 3400° F.---enough to melt tungsten" [4]

"Hydrogen can be dissociated in an electrical arc in an atomic hydrogen torch. The recombination of the atoms produces a very high temperature, 4000°C to 5000°C, that can be used for welding. In addition, the atmosphere surrounding the weld is nonoxidizing, so flux is not required. The reaction is 2H → H2 + 102.6 kcal. It is not necessary to burn the hydrogen, but this adds extra heat and eliminates an explosion hazard."[5]

For discussion purposes:

From publications by William R Lyne namely "OCCULT ETHER PHYSICS: Tesla's Hidden Space Propulsion System And The Conspiracy To Conceal It" one might construct the following process flow:

H2 + 103cal/gram mole => 2H => H2 + 109,000 cal/gram mole

The 'activation' heat has initiated a 'dark matter' (or ether process from author researcher Lyne)

This in noted in the web reference above: http://www.cheniere.org/misc/a_h%20reaction.htm

Under this range of 'dark matter' or ether actions one should note Helium: "helium is made to produce 460,000 calories/gram-atom, by simple spark discharge, which is based on data from numerous generally available texts and scientific encyclopedias."

See under Chapter VI: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tesla/occultether/occultether04.htm#CONCLUSION2 Teslafieldmachine (talk) 23:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see two possible explanations:

Elaborate conspiracy between space aliens, the government, and welding equipment manufacturers to suppress a secret energy source in which huge amounts of energy can be extracted from dark matter and released from a simple electric arc
Someone forgot that the word "calorie" has more than one definition — Omegatron 02:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh...trying to google for information about atomic hydrogen and all I find is this nonsense about free energy. The man doesn't even know that calories sometimes mean kilocalories, and the 103 vs. 109 is just different measurements with different errors. DonPMitchell (talk) 06:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
