The transition of water into Brown’s gas results in a volumetric expansion of approximately 1,840 m³ per ton of water.
Brown’s gas delivers an energy output of approximately 3.7 MWh per metric ton of water, comparable to the fuel efficiency of a ton of lignite (brown coal).
- Detonation and Flame Front Velocities:
The detonation wave speed and flame front propagation rates of Brown’s gas are similar to those of natural gas (CH₄).
The ignition energy required for Brown’s gas is 10 to 15 times lower than that of natural methane gas.
- Operational Capabilities:
Brown’s gas can burn and operate effectively in a vacuum, underwater, and in sealed environments, due to its perfect stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen derived from water, consisting of approximately 1.234 m³ of H₂ and 0.604 m³ of O₂ per liter of source water.
The combustion of Brown’s gas produces only distilled water vapor as a by-product, which should ideally be cooled, condensed, and recycled back into a closed-loop system.
The flame temperature of Brown’s gas ranges from 3,500°C to 5,000°C.
- Physical and Chemical Properties:
Brown’s gas is lighter than air (similar to methane) and is chemically non-toxic.
The cost of producing this new, eco-friendly fuel, using river, artesian, or tap water as the source, is approximately €1 per ton of water.
The planned market price for Brown’s gas is
50% lower per 1,000 m³ compared to the minimum prevailing price of natural gas.
