Interesting idea, and more interesting is the "scientific reasons why this isn't possible" at the end of the article. WTG WND, you're actually being *balanced* in your reporting!

The flame, though on its own registers just 259 degrees Fahrenheit, heats up to the melting point of whatever substance it touches, explained Steve Lusko, project manager for Hydrogen Technologies Applications.
"For example, when you ignite our flame and touch it to steel, it will cut right through it at 1,400 degrees," Lusko told WND.
"It will melt a hole right through a brick at 4,500 degrees. … It reacts to whatever it touches."
wtf?
Ok, watched the demo video. WOW.
