Hydrogen Torch

It is doubtful that there is a person who does not know that the first chemical element of the periodic table is called hydrogen. Yes, that might not have been known by many people 50 years ago because people did not know how many usages the hydrogen could have in our everyday life. Something more- people did not even know how much spread this element is: nowadays, we know there is hydrogen in the air, in the water and everywhere around us. But the truth is that what the chemical element has become famous for in the last few years is its ability to provide us with energy. So it is not surprising there are so many items on the market labeled as ‘using hydrogen’: a hydrogen torch, a hydrogen vehicle or a hydrogen furnace is just a small part of the endless list. It could go on like this forever.

Unfortunately, giving information about all items using hydrogen as a source of energy is simply not possible within the short compass of an article like this. That is why it is necessary to choose just one of them and give some more specific information about it: let that be the hydrogen torch.

You certainly know that torches usually need oil so that they can burn. And the oil actually gives quite good results since an ordinary torch (using oil fuel) can last for several hours without any problems. But that seems little already because the hydrogen is much more efficient and; therefore it will keep the torch burning for much longer.

The last research shows that the hydrogen is nearly three times as efficient as oil and more than four times as efficient as the natural gas. So what the simple calculation shows is that if a torch using oil as fuel can be used for 3 hours, a hydrogen torch can be used for up to 9-10 hours. Anyway, you might not need to use the torch for so long. But you will still get an advantage: just look at the other side of the coin. If you need to use the torch for like 2 hours, you will need 500 ml. of oil but when using hydrogen you will need 150 ml of gas. But let’s not forget that the hydrogen is a gas and is much lighter than the petrol so your hydrogen torch will feel quite lighter as a whole.
