Part 2

Cut the video down into 3 parts. I noticed the gating light is reversed. Easy fix.

Just did a quick power up of my 8XA, videos to follow

Here is my manual pulsing circuit. It uses a 4047 in the Astable Free running mode for the gating pulse. This is fed to another 4047 set up in a complement gating mode. It delivers the Meyer’s style unipolar gated pulse from about 500hz to 11,000hz.

“Utilizing break-through advances in fuel efficiency technology, Quad-City Innovations (QCI) is a manufacturer of proprietary equipment used in producing QC-Gas to augment natural gas, propane gas, diesels, and gasoline fueled systems.”

Evidently their marketing guru thought QC-Gas sounded better than HHO.

Thanks Dave.

It looks a little rickety but I have tried so many variations on coils and core that at this point I'm just trying to get some results. At least my pulsing unit is stable and accurate.

I have a friend who has access to a water jet CNC, but  I have not been able to locate flat ferrite. I have heard of custom cores home made by pouring copy toner and epoxy mix into a mold. Not ready to go there yet.

I knew when I started this project it would come down to the magnetics.

Well, back to mad science after a year long break. Can’t say I’ve made any progress.
The new Coil pack matches the winding specs. I switched back to ferrite for the core,
using 0.5” ferrite rods.

Added the Diode across the Primary coil. Now it acts like a true step up transformer
instead of a flyback.

Tuning around with frequency and gating generates an occasional tiny tiny trickle of
bubbles and some interesting noises, but not the generous results everyone hopes for.

With the Diode in place the current draw is apox 300 ma.
I have noticed the primary coil is getting hot. Will dig though my stash and add the resistor
Across the primary.

The only thing left I can think of at the moment is to fabricate thin flat ferrite cores aka Meyer.

For 10Khz I think we neee a Ui of 2000

Nice job. Unfortunately I do not have access to a lathe.
Where did you find your core material?

Attached is a jpg of a bobbin I need. Does anyone have a 3D printer and can tell me what STL files I need to have it printed?

M20 is the correct material for the 10Khz frequency. count me in for a set

Tony, What was the thickness?
