I believe BLP has been using something akin to industrial arc welders for some of the demonstrations they videoed last June 25. However BLP seems to be using the units in an unusual power configuration. On page 57 of the PDF file we see:
Ignition current: 10,000 A to 20,000 A
Ignition voltage: 4.5 V - 15 V
System Peak Input Power: 45 kW - 450 kW
While the wattage appears high, (in the kilowatt range), it appears to be
due to an extremely high current load, but very low pressure. BLP seems to
be loading the fuel mixture with a massive amount of electrons, but very
little voltage is used.
I get the impression that most industrial arc welders are not used in such a
configuration. Personally, I don't know what to make of the BLP power load.
I've asked "the Doctor" if he might help clarify (or show) spectral graphs
of burning Titanium powder for comparison against the BLP "SunCell"
reaction.
One other thing, Mills recently responded to another question concerning
different gaseous environments used to ignite the powder catalyst:
In one of the videos it is run under argon
The will likely be the cover gas in a commercial unit
That would suggest to me that a "triggered" portion of Titanium powder
mixture would not be capable of oxidizing since the enclosure would be
totally immersed within an inert gas mixture. One presumes that high amounts
of heat, light, UV, and soft X-Rays (but very little expansion compression)
is produced.
