Hello,
I am building a water torch (experimental stage) but I have a big problem how to do so that the flame of the torch does not go up, in the event of a drop in pressure, I reach the gas tank and boom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like it happened to me yesterday.
I was suggested to separate the gases at the base but that poses a lot of worries.
Do you have another solution to be able to weld and for the moment do tests in complete safety?
Sincerely,
Construction of a water torch

There is already a subject about the water torch

for your flashback, it's not complicated, you pass your gas through a siphon with water

Water torch
It works
if the gas passes through water
If the reactor is under pressure 1 to 2 bar sufficient
A pressure regulator is essential to regulate the flame.

If a siphon is not enough, you put several ...
Maybe the hose is too big, the pressure too strong, or not yet regulated…
Otherwise, there is the “fire break” as on autogenous welding devices.
We were talking about an "arrestor", which must be less effective than a siphon, but can be complementary, to filter and limit the gas flow, and to avoid the overpressure of the return flame.
It is simply a transit tube, stuffed with foam. Jex stamp, Scoch Brite, for dishes.
When I had tinkered a little with the electrolyser, I put at the outlet of the pipe (downstream), the arrestor, and, a siphon in intermediate (upstream).
When the flame rises, if your pipe is held in the arrestor, only with a plug, just pressed slightly, it will jump before the flame front reaches the siphon.
Finally ! That's what I think.
