Veda Prakash et al. (IPR; H2O vs D2O, 300 kV Tesla pulser, 3 mm hemispheres): (a) STAINLESS STEEL electrodes give higher voltage-withstand than brass — brass injects Cu+Zn into the water (emission spe...

Wetz et al. (2 mm gap, >1 MV/cm, >5 kA): the pulsed holdoff field of a water dielectric RISES as electrode surface roughness falls and as effective conducting area falls. Microprotrusions produce loca...

Polarized water molecules align end-to-end across the gap as series micro-capacitors; equal series caps divide voltage evenly, so V per molecule = V_applied / N with N = gap/2.7Å. For my 1/16" (1.5875...

Contact Glow Discharge Electrolysis (plasma electrolysis): at several hundred volts a stable light-emitting plasma sheath forms around an electrode immersed in electrolyte, and the products (H2 + H2O2...

The Faradaic-vs-emission dispute is empirically decidable, not rhetorical. Faradaic electrolysis fixes 2 electrons per H2 molecule: ~0.116 mL H2 per coulomb at STP (22,414 mL/mol ÷ 192,970 C/mol). Pro...

A Dielectric Barrier Discharge puts an insulator between the powered electrode and the discharge: DC electron transfer is blocked, charge stores capacitively on the barrier, and the AC/pulsed drive mo...

In normal electrolysis, the energy needed to break the covalent bonds and produce separate hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water is roughly 3 times the energy of the hydrogen released.
established WFC
The latent energy in the hydrogen content of a pint of water amounts to over 9 million joules, enough to run 2.5 1000-watt electric radiators for an hour.

According to Meyer, his dune buggy, travelling at 65 mph, would cover 25 miles per litre of water (salt, fresh, or distilled).

Meyer's original hydrogen generating equipment consisted of a glass vessel containing cold tap water with double concentric stainless steel cylinders having a small gap between them, producing hydroge...
established WFC
Because the current used in the hydrogen fracturing process is so low (<1 milliamp), very little heat is generated, unlike conventional electrolysis.
established WFC
The pulsed high voltage attracts negatively charged electrons toward the positive voltage zone and the positively charged nucleus toward the negative zone, changing the electron orbital path from a ci...

The hydrogen fracturing process subjects the water molecule to very high voltage (20,000+ volts) pulses at a particular frequency, within positively and negatively charged voltage zones, at very low c...

For the 'Brunel' marine diesel conversion, the WFC water fuel injection system requires that the vehicle's/vessel's fuel pump handle water instead of diesel fuel, a mechanical consideration that neede...

During the demonstration, the maximum observed current for water dissociation via pulsed voltage stimulation was less than 1 milliamp, indicating minimal current draw for the process.

In adapting the Water Fuel Cell for use in an ordinary car, Meyer utilises laser light to stimulate the transfer between energy levels and increase the efficiency of the hydrogen-formation process.

The efficiency of the Water Fuel Cell process depends on the tuning frequency of the LC circuit and having this balanced with the mobility of the ions and the spacing between the plates; a relaxation...

The Water Fuel Cell circuit is a novel form of electrolysis in that no net current needs to flow around the circuit; while the voltage applied is zero, ionised charges are able to recombine without fl...

On the charging side of the Water Fuel Cell circuit, ions are pulled out of the dielectric water and moved toward the metal electrodes; on the discharging side they may go back into solution, and a po...

In the Water Fuel Cell, charge from hydrogen and hydroxyl ions builds voltage; the more charge that flows, the more the voltage builds up, and the more ions are pulled out of solution, forming a self-...
