Holy crap that's awesome and insanely dangerous... excellent work!
Have you tried increasing the pressure a bit so that the flame sits above/disconnected from the nozzle? It would allow longer burn times as there would be less thermal buildup at the nozzle.

Dangerous indeed. The sequence showing my hand burning was cut out no kidding.
Increasing pressure is not that easy. Ignition is hard enough already. Took me a day to find the best setting.

Ahh, I see. Hope your hand heals quickly!
What method of ignition are you using? In a later revision you could try using a very small pilot flame. It looked like you're using spark ignition, but I couldn't tell for sure. If so, you're right, at too much pressure there won't be oxygen mixed in to the gas column and you'll get no ignition. You could also make it even more dangerous by adding an oxygen line, but then you'd need a mixing chamber, check valves, secondary regulator, etc.
Still, pretty damn awesome!

Actually I do use a pilot flame. Its HV triggered and ignites the liqiud gas spray.
Thats the silly noise....HV discharge...HF.

Ah, my mistake, haha. I didn't see an always on pilot so I assumed you were using HV start for the main flame, I see the pilot now... I assumed it was a reflection, haha. I hadn't watched it with sound on, my fault!

There was no chance to ignite it with HV only.
I am a lab technician...a guy called Bunsen invented a burner
instantly had to go for that solution.

Well, I think this is not entirely true, the "bunsen" burner was have improved
upon the designs of the burners of Michael Faraday and Aimé Argand by one
Bunsen's laboratory assistant, named Peter Desdega.
Good job anyway :beer:

Haha Ok, let's leave Bunsen burner only, nothing to "invented" by Bunsen, anyway besides only achieved the fame by one of his lab assistants
There's nothing like being the boss, haha.

They buy lot of my gadgets. They make collectables and SciFi stuff.
Even they agree it might be too dangerous.
