Speaking of burning a "common manifold" potentially explosive gas (BG or equivalent), does anyone have, or care to expound-on, an accurate protocol for such a setup?
Obviously, one must use care to avoid pre-ignition. A "bubbler" is often used. But, assuming a safe steady flame is obtainable, what is the most accurate method from there on? Is there a method that skeptics cannot reasonably fault?
The obvious reason that an accurate protocol needs to be in place is that there are literally dozens of "aqua-fuel" generators, "Brown's Gas" welders, and "hydrogen-booster" devices, vocal proponents and add-on kits, and so forth on the internet. Many of these will produce lots of gas in the form of super-saturated steam (75% water vapor) which will not even ignite.
ERGO - there needs to be a totally accurate (bullet-proof) gas burning calorimetry protocol out there to use as a yardstick, correct ?
