One year manufacturer's warranty on all models
It takes about 4 kWh of electricity to make a thousand liters of R-Gas per hour (from water). This volume of gas could supply two cutters or three welding torches.
Metal and ceramic surface coating with higher deposit rate
Can pay for itself in less than a year.
For comparison, a 100 cubic foot bottle of Acetylene might cost $22.50, not including any bottle deposits, rental charges or sales tax. A R-Gas BN 2000 will produce 106 Cubic Feet of gas in 1 1/2 hours and converting 1.6 liters of water with 12.75 Kilowatts of electricity or $1.53 at .12 per Kilowatt (high average) The BN 2000 can be leased for $ 282.07 per month for 60 months.
