I just realized something: couldn't just a plain electrical arc do the same thing? how does the salt water help? It seems like a bit much for an electrical torch..
Electrical arc is as a torch very impractical and in fact is good only for melting the ends of the electrodes… What I’m trying to achieve is a kind of very hot burner for melting glass and other stuff. The salt water is in fact fuel for the torch. Without that you would get only the electric arc but no flame…

What is a motor foil cap since I never heard of it. Also, is it possible to use a MOC to replace the 3.3uF 270V AC capacitors? Would it run on 120V AC? And last question, could a diode from a MOC be used to replace both diode?
Motor foil cap is normal PP rolled capacitor which has relatively high capacitance and 400V AC ratings. I’m using the name motor foil cap to help you find these caps on the market (there are used for asynchronous motors in washing machines for example).
MOC can be used instead of the filter cap – there should be no problem, but it’s a kind of overkill
MOC diodes are not usable for this concept… They do not have enough AMPs ratting. Use a common bridge rectifier connected as two single diodes instead…

well assuming thats the common aluminum oxide ceramic then the melting point is about 2000C
That’ less than I thought, however enough to melt a lot of things ;) I'll try to get better ceramic...

Interesting, this is a bit like those burners which use electrolysis and a cleverly designed nozzle to burn hydrogen and oxygen to produce a hot flame.
