Is it possible that some of the tungsten is burning instead of melting? A cutting torch actually burns the steel by adding excess oxygen to the region.

HHO welding is just the burning of hydrogen in oxygen. But how does a hydrogen combustion process that produces only 2,660 °C in heat vaporize tungsten at (5930 °C, 10706 °F). This does not add up unless there is LENR involved.

Since atomic welding is a smooth process and the electrical energy employed by the arc is not to my knowledge significant enough to account for the melting capability then yes.. your point is well taken.

These crystals act like nano lenses that concentrate infrared light in the boundary layer between a shiny metal surface and a dielectric gas like hydrogen or oxygen. The science that studies this effect is called nanoplasmonics. The heat energy is confined to the metal surface and locked in(AKA dark mode) and concentrated their like in a EMF black hole. The metal surface is said to have a negative coefficient of reflectivity. This keeps the heat from leaving the metal surface. In this way the heat energy builds up to huge temperatures to the point where it will vaporize tungsten. The skin on your hand has a positive index of reflectivity; it is not shiny. The heat from hydrogen combustion is not confined to the surface of your skin and can escape to the surrounding air. So you will not be readily burned by the HHO flame. This is a basic LENR effect (aka evanescent wave -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evanescent_wave) of energy concentration and focusing. This indicates that the upper temperature limit of the LENR effect is beyond the temperature required to vaporize tungsten (5930 °C, 10706 °F) On the other hand, the combustion temperature of hydrogen is only 2,660 °C with oxygen. Do I need to spell this out any further? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ceOL83PM24 On the downside, spark ignition of HHO does not use the LENR effect of the evanescent wave. So burning hydrogen in oxygen is only combustion and not LENR.
