Mike Patterson "Fire on the Water"
Mike Patterson
Just wandering, hows the "burning water" experiment coming? We've been having some warmer weather up here in Pennsylvania. So I 've had some time to start cleaning up outside and working on the new pond. The grounds still too wet and frozen to start digging, so I decided to work on the campfire. It will be about 2 1/2- 3 feet from the edge of the pond, with the waterfall for a backdrop. I took some pictures of the flames, they can be seen at: http://ourkoipond.com/pond-campfire.htm or the "Campfire Experiment" button on my home page. My experiment with the "fire on the water" is still on hold , as there is still an iceberg on the 500 gallon Temp. pond. It froze solid since it is totally above ground. Meanwhile the koi have been vacationing in the Tomb, in my basement. By the time it thaws, I hope to have the prototype burner finished.

Was planning to experiment today, but last night things went wrong, so to the office I go... I'm planning to use a propane tank & regulator from a gas grill to start with, have them on hand, so I'm ready to try it if I can just find the time. My new pond is still fish-free, though frogs & algae are plentiful. Haven't yet decided what to put in there, as my first choice (Tilapia) turned out to require a permit (according to my local Cooperative Extension Service agent). Your pond campfire looks good, like a nice place to pull up a chair and stare at the coals for a while. Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me. |

Look around for a propane cutting torch. It mixes oxygen and propane to make a flame for cutting steel in a junkyard. It will probably make a flame underwater. Regards, Hal |

Today I presented The Wacky World of Water Gardening at our local MG's
Spring Garden Day, the Keynote speaker from the Wetside of WA showed a slide of a wonderful pond. Her talk was mainly about structures, so while this slide was up, she said, "This is a wonderful pond and the owner just loves to have new people sit in this bench (the structure) right next to the pond, at which time flames shoot up out of the water. Evidently the owner is a special effects designer for movies/TV. So there's the experts you need to talk with Mike. ;o) Obviously it can be done. ~ jan Still on hold, been working my butt off bringing up a new network. Was planning to experiment today, but last night things went wrong, so to the office I go...
