'''Brown's Gas''' is ], produced the ], promoted by ] as a fuel for ], ], and the like. It is sometimes claimed by others to have special properties that defy the laws of physics.

In standard ] (using one tank of each gas), the ratio of each gas in the mixture must be very carefully controlled before burning, as excess oxygen will result in ] of the metal, and excess hydrogen will result in ].

Due to the way it is generated, Brown's gas is already in the perfect mixture required for this type of welding. Brown's welding devices use ] in a common chamber to generate a ] mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, which is then passed through a flash-back arrestor and into a burner, where it is ignited to create a flame.

This ] is also said to be superior to ] due to the convenience of generating the gas on demand instead of buying and transporting containers of fuel.
