Can you tell us about which setup that neighbour was talking about?

From what she described, it sounded like the tubeset in a cylinder, on a stand by the car.  Maybe like the one in the video of the buggy idling roughly in a driveway whilst Stan and others tinkered with it.

I'll offer an anecdote.  A neighbor of mine down the street (working as an engineer for GM at the time) was invited by Stan to help solve some of the pre-ignition issues with H2 in his buggy.  He, along with his wife, went to Grove City and watched it run; his wife had her hand on the HHO generator and noticed that it never even got warm while producing enough gas to make the engine run.

That neighbor has offered the same assistance to me, should I ever get the Meyer system to work. These are folks that knew Stan and had every confidence that he could make it work as he intended, given enough time.

Maybe I'll get off my defeatist attitude and get back to work on this someday, and the sooner the better

Turtle, slow

Most low-power EVs are direct drive.  Since an electric motor has an essentially flat torque curve, it can start at 0 rpm and just draw gobs of watts as it spools up.   Even diesel locomotives are direct drive electric motors.

Still, for newer electric cars, it may do well to adopt some sort of gearing, but I don't know.

Wheel motors seem to offer promise, but they  are hard to get unless you're a manufacturer

Turtle, still at it

Yeah, I think the concept has real potential.  I wonder it it could be run backwards to provide a constant speed output from a variable input, as in a wind turbine application for constant freq generator

the waterforfuel dude tried the geet thing out and it didnt work for him, he maybe much but i dont think he's a liar

Yer right.  I met him; he's straight up, if not a bit crazy.   I'm glad he's doing the research, even if I don't agree with all of his findings

Turtle

When someone tests and supposedly proves a process, their presentation should at least address all the variables in the system, what they found and how it applies.

That's why I've been so slow in getting something tested and working- I want to be sure that the evidence is "incontravertible"; that is, no one can accuse my project as B S.

I agree with you, Warp.  If they cain't show it all, then don't waste yer time there.   

I have so little time to work with, I don't watch those vids, so I cain't pass judgment on sumthin' I ain't seen yet.

Turtle, slow

So, mate, is it a case of power factor, the Boyce circuit utilzes a phase-shifting approach that masks the actual power being drawn from the grid?   I've heard of that, but not completely understood it.

Turtle

Night shift rules- while the rats are away the turtles will play-

I work alone.

There won't be any field generated around the outside, only power applied to the end plates.

I also have a 61 plate of 3" x 3" 22 ga 304 assembled to test, but I need to seal up the bottom with a perf plate for e-lyte flow.   Hope to drive it with something Boyce as well.

Also, I'm gonna drive to meet Bob and take the cells with me to get his preferred driver.   But that won't be till I git everything assembled and tested on straight DC so's I have a baseline.

P E is focused on Meyer stuff and I'm building four con tube cells for him.  I'm also gonna spool up his torroids and VIC... that oughta be a challenge.

Pretty busy, and 60+ hours at work only heps the research budget, not time in the lab

Turtle

I'm in the process of assembling a large cell with two rows of 61 plates, 6" x 7" 14 ga, but they're 304, not 316 SS.

Cross sanded one batch, but I think I'll polish the other set to compare.

ALready got the UHMW milled, but it bowed so I gotta relieve the back side.

This is heavy-duty stuff, with heavy duty turtlebucks spent so far.


It all takes lotsa time.
