Can anyone give you info on an Oxy-gasoline cutting system?

Do you mean oxyacetylene cutting? You need a cylinder of oxygen, a cylinder of Acetylene, appropriate regulators and flashback arrestors. Two gas hoses and a cutting torch. The torch mixes the two gasses to burn with a high intensity flame. A trigger on the torch, increases the oxygen flow in the centre of the flame, which cuts and blows the molten metal away.


Why doesn't oxygen in an oxyacetylene torch burn without the acetylene yet medical oxygen is explosive?

Oxygen is not actually explosive. In an acetylene torch, the torch burns the acetylene and the oxygen only facilitates combustion, so it is not burning the oxygen. Hospitals warn of the explosion hazard of oxygen because pure oxygen accelerates the burn of fuel so fast that it is like an explosion. In common air there is roughly 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, all fuels must have oxygen to burn and when pure oxygen is introduced the fire then has more oxygen thus it accelerates the fire.
