I tried the Gopher Getter yesterday. I put the nozzle with the igniter inside a box and taped it all up. I could not get it to ignite. Both gases were running. I had the O2 at 40 and the propane at 4.
The factory that sells these says they use a 98/2 mix. I tried various mixes, but couldn't get it to work. I think my spark might be wimpy, but a spark is a spark. I'm using a sparker from a barbecue. I may change to a stun gun arc if this doesn't work.
Then I took a plastic bag and taped it over the end. Filled it and filled it and filled it, but couldn't get it to pop.
Any ideas?
I have two lines going to a Y to mix. I was wondering if the O2 was at a high pressure, and the backpressure was keeping the gas from coming in. I would need to run a separate line of gas all they way with no Y to overcome that. I don't really think that's the problem, as it should flow in and mix. But I can't smell a lot of gas in the mixture when I smelled the box or smelled the bag after poking a hole in it.
