The Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto

These are all really good ideas and certainly much safer.

Will somebody volunteer to do some brazing tests with these gasses?

I was able to convert my propane tourch (which was worthless for brazing) to do the job of copper oxide prevention for about $1.50. I certainly do realize the potential danger involved. I live in a 117 year old wooden house and I have no fire or health insurance, so the buck and the ashes stop here. When I was done with the brazing, I still have some plastic tubing that I can use for something else, and my propane torch works and is still worthless for brazing.

I'm still trying to keep my Homemade Heat Pump budget within $1000.

So will somebody volunteer to do some brazing tests with these gasses, before our readers turn themselves and their families into barbeque?
