Yull Brown
Professor Yull Brown is credited with patenting
a proprietary form of HHO gas (oxyhydrogen) now
referred to as Brown's gas. Brown's gas has a
certain stoichiometric mix of hydrogen and oxygen
atom created by electrolyzing water.

Born as Ilya Velbov in Bulgaria, in 1922, Yull
Brown moved to Australia in 1958 where he worked
as a laboratory technician. Trained as an electrical
engineer, Yull Brown filed for patents for Brown's
gas in 1974, 10 years after William
A. Rhodes filed for similar patents for an
HHO electrolysis unit.
Most of Yull Brown's demonstration were conducted
with welding torches where he showed that hydrogen
and oxygen could be separated from water and then
burned cleanly using many different objects. There's
even a video
where Yull Brown not only welds and burns bricks
with his Brown's gas generator, he also burns
his own arm to the point where his skin bubbles.
Yull Brown spent most of his life convincing
others of the commercial viability of his product.
He spent 30 years of his life and was able to
acquire upwards of $30 million from investors
towards commercializing his product.
On May 22, 1998, Yull Brown died at Westmead
Hospital in Auburn, Australia. The HHO gas is
still called Brown's gas in memorandum to Yull
Brown.
