Using Oxy-Hydrogen is little different than Oxy-Acetylene except for the
cost, invisible flame and lower flame temp. It takes a lot of H2 to get
the BTUs required and no real reason to use it. I used it for welding
glass where we didn't want any other elements added. IE: for purity.

After using oxy-acetylene (O2A) at the suggestion of a few list members,
I would never again use either of the other gas types alone. Once the
acetylene valve is brought up to pressure and gas ignited, the O2 valve
is then slowly turned to mix with acetylene to obtain a perfect blue
cone; all other color and gas emission disappears. It's an interesting
experience to see for the first time. With O2A, you can braze the
silver bars with zero difficulty, even in a high heat-sink application.
No kidding.. there's a reason oxy-acetylene is popular. Easy to
adjust the flame, no soot (with an excess of oxygen), lots of heat. I
totally agree. (and of course, a cutting torch is fun...fireworks in
your hand)
I've always wanted to try oxy-hydrogen, but haven't had the chance.
totally invisible flame, though.
