An identity on IonizationX as it was harvested, not an account on this site. Nobody here has claimed it, and nothing connects it to a person by name.

Dear members,

I need your help. There seems to be another version of the Herman Anderson Interview. One thats longer then 34 minutes.
If anyone of you can provide me with that video, you would be the greatest person in the world.
I am willing even to pay money for your efforts and i also promise to not share where it came from.
If you have any other demands, please let me know.
I need that video.
Please help.

Steve

Anybody?

Please help me to get a copy of the whole interview....

For standing waves with both ends fixed in a length L, the wavelength l is limited to (where n is an integer)
   l =        ;   n = 1, 2, 3, ….

In quantum mechanics, electrons in atoms are treated as standing waves confined by the electric field due to the atomic nuclei. Thus, the electrons are represented by wave functions.
The wave, energy etc are called state of the electron, and with spin, each state accommodate 2 electrons. A state is called an orbital (not orbit)

7.5 cycles per second = 7.5Hertz
If the pulse is a 50% duty cycle, then during the off time of the duty cycle, you have enough time to pulse some HV pulses in the cell.

It takes 10 to 15 milliseconds for the magnetic field to reach maximum strength for ignition coils...
Herman wanted 70KV, so he needed that well build up magnetic field.

So, here is the math:
13ms = 75hz.
It means that during the off periode of the 7.5hz cycle, Herman could pump 5 till 6 HV pulses into the cell.

cheers

Ks, look at my drawings.
Circuits with such a large scr are used to switch heavy currents. Herman did 12v and 20 amps...
If he wasnt switchting the 12v off during hv pulses he would have used a diode......

and now you ask how the hydrogen ions are getting in that sealed hole...
"Hydrogen ions are small enough to pass through the crystalline steel"
Thats also called embrittlement of metal by hydrogen.

That gives us: hydrogen ions in a hole, with RF plasma beams etc etc, see previous post.

That Anderson was a genius!

What makes me think why James and who ever else worked with Hermans original electrodes failed to keep it going,is the thin layer left had worn out and burnt thru...this is how it looked on the inside of one electrode.I tried to draw the jagged edges as it appeared....
I believe the Stanford study is the most important discovery made in the realms of our type of research.I think if we are going to give this an honest go we must perform that expieriment.
My inductor wire wire will be here in the morning and im most excited about that atm.
Herman may have needed the specific 70kV for a specific thickness of the electrode in our little chamber.
I don't have a trifield meter or what ever we will need to measure the milli-Roetgen/hour radiation.....
We know Herman used at least 2 applications of radiation.
We know Herman used "2/ 35kV coils wired in series for 70kV."
We know Herman used series resonance  "it amplify's the current"
We know Herman used a magnetic field.
We know Herman used on demand ozonated water.
We know Herman used KOH with a pH of 12.
We know Herman used a standing pipe to circulate the water.
We know Herman used fog to slow the burn rate.

Have you seen these equations yet?

lf in addition to a steady magnetic field, varying fields with frequency components in the neighborhood of the Larmor precession frequency are present, the nuclear magnetic moment may be caused to change its orientation by a resonance effect. lf the frequency of an applied oscillating magnetic field, which is oriented at right angles to the direction of the static magnetic field, matches that corresponding to the difference in energy between adjacent orientations according to the rule, Plancks constant times the frequency equals the energy jump, then the transition will occur. lf the match is not close, transitions will be very unlikely.

For example, when a magnetic field of strength 1,826 gauss is applied to a sample of water, the protons which form the hydrogen l nuclei have only two possible orientations with respect to the field. The parallel orientation has the least Steady magnetic field strength Plancks constant For protons this gives 4,250 X magnetic field strength in gauss, or to take the example above 4,250Xl,826=7.76 megacycles per second.At this field strength it takes 5x10(-20) ergs to excite the antiparallel state. Since the magnetic field at each proton is not exactly the same, the resonance will occur in a narrow band of frequencies centered on 7.76 megacycles. The resonance line width, which is the measure of this band width, depends on the inhomogeneities in the applied field, as well as those arising from the internal structure ofthe material.

Except when they are under the influence of a magnetic field the magnetic moments of the protons of hydrogen are in random orientation for before the field is applied, the parallel and antiparallel positions of the nuclei are no different in energy and equally likely to occur. Upon application of the field, the protons snap into line with substantially half parallel and the remainder antiparallel, but this is not a stable condition in the field, because with the field applied, the antiparallel state of the proton has a higher energy, and hence tends to emit this energy difference and drop to the lower parallel state. This tendency is counteracted by thermal motion, which gives rise to field components at the resonant frequency, and hence to transitions up and down between the two states. As a result, an equilibrium is established at any given temperature where there is a slight excess occupation of parallel states compared with antiparallel states. This equilibrium condition is not, however, attained the instant the magnetic field is switched on, but rather'is approached according to a characteristic time known as the thermal relaxation time.
The hydrogen nuclei (protons) in pure water at room temperature have a relatively long relaxation time (about 2 seconds)
The rate at which energy is absorbed from the RF coil depends on the rate at which excited nuclei are deexcited.

https://www.google.com/patents/US5461265

An oscillating magnetic field of radio frequency is simultaneously produced.
 If the oscillating magnetic field is tuned to a frequency corresponding to the proton nuclear Larmor precession frequency , radio frequency energy will be absorbed and scattered. As energy is absorbed, the distribution between parallel and antiparallel states is altered.
lf the DC or steady magnetic field is modulated by superimposing upon it a fluctuating magnetic field, the protons of the hydrogen present may be caused to attain the resonant condition periodically.
The intensity of the magnetic resonance effect whether it be observed as nuclear absorption, nuclear dispersion .or nuclear induction, depends on the relaxation time, since the maximum intensity observed is that at which the number of protons being excited by the magnetic oscillations equals the number being deexcited by the relaxation effect.
 
There should be a small phase or amplitude unbalance signal present at resonance. If amplitude unbalance is used, absorption is displayed. If phase unbalance is used, phase-shift or dispersion curve is displayed on the oscilloscope.

with this picture below....you have now seen the inside of Hermans anode.

That might the reason why it wouldnt work. If it is broken.....
Still, the function of that hole is a mistery. But i am very very glad that you shared that info, Kevin!!!
I really mean it.

cheers!

Hydrogen will appear at the cathode (the negative electrode, where electrons enter the water), and oxygen will appear at the anode (the positive electrode)

Herman spoke of the facts that the hydrogen will be release on the ANODE side and moves to the Kathode side.
As far as i understand electrolysis, on the kathode side, two hydrogen ions will merge into hydrogen molecule.

I also learned that ions of hydrogen are so tiny, that they move easy thru metal. Thats what for example a Joe cell is doing.
Now the question. What do ions do with that creapy hole in the anode?

Kevin, i assume that the electrode with that famous hidden chamber was the anode?

Ok, I think I am getting a complete picture here.
Herman the ion king was real. For real, when he said that he just wanted to prove that water could work as a fuel.

The 70kv spark in the hole on the outside of his electrode had to be as thin as possible, so that the soft x rays could enter the cell and in that way to accelerate electrons and hydrogen ions and to add photons to kick neutrons off the oxygen , so the accelerated hydrogen ions could merge with the neutrons. All done in a pressurised cell.
Nickel plated iron electrodes.
70kv
Certain plate distance
Koh
20 amps 12volts
Etc
Bingo....


The last theory is done.
Now to figure out how to make it work in real life.

X-rays are basically produced by high-energy electrons bombarding a target, especially targets that have a high proton number (Z). When bombarding electrons penetrate into the target, some electrons travel close to the nucleus due to the attraction of its positive charge and are subsequently influenced by its electric field. The course of these electrons would be deflected, and a portion or all of their kinetic energy would be lost. The principle of the conservation of energy states that in producing the X-ray photon, the electron has lost some of its kinetic energy (KE):

final KE of electron = initial KE of electron - energy of X-ray photon
The 'lost' energy is emitted as X-ray photons, specifically bremsstrahlung radiation (bremsstrahlung is German for 'braking radiation'). Bremsstrahlung can have any energy ranging from zero to the maximum KE of the bombarding electrons (i.e., 0 to Emax), depending on how much the electrons are influenced by the electric field, therefore forming a continuous spectrum. The 'peak' of the spectrum typically occurs at approximately one-third of Emax so for a bremsstrahlung spectra with an Emax value of say 120 keV, the peak of the spectrum would be at approximately 40 keV.

The intensity of bremsstrahlung radiation is proportional to the square of the atomic number of the target (Z), the number of unit charges of the bombarding particle (z) and inversely with the mass of the bombarding particle (m): Z² z / m. It follows that light particles such as electrons and positrons bombarding targets of high atomic number are more efficient producers of bremsstrahlung radiation than heavier particles such as alpha particles or neutrons (which can also cause X-rays to be produced through bremsstrahlung, though it's much more unlikely than with electrons).

The contribution to the neutron energy spectrum due to absorption of a photon of given energy by any one of these processes will be proportional to the product of the partial cross section for that process and the number of photons at that particular energy. The energy of the released neutron is obtained from the kinematics of the process and the energy of the final state. The total spectrum is obtained by summing over the possible decay modes and integrating over the photon energy. For a compound the sum is also over the constituent elements with a weighting proportional to the relative abundances.
RESULTS
Neutron energy spectra in carbon, nitrogen and oxygen were calculated for various bremsstrahlung end-point energies and, from these, tissue spectra were calculated using the tissue equivalent molecular formula C5H._01ftN. As an example of the results, the photoneutron spectrum from tissue for a photon end-point energy of 28 MeV is shown in figure 1, together with the contributions from the constituent elements. The neutron spectra from tissue over the energy range from 12-30 MeV are summarised in table 1, where average neutron energies and kerma conversion factors are displayed.
Full details of this work can be found in the published report (Allen and Chaudhri 1982).

Nice findings Steve

 this was kind of the content of the courses in atomic engineerring i did and chemistry of radiations...

there are some other type of moderators,, the neutrons must be slowed so they can interact with uranium otherwise nothing happens... one could think it limit the reaction to become controlable but its not only it

A neutron is emited normaly from alpha decay and it basically decay it self within 11 minutes becoming a neutral hydrogen atom... 

when we apply ionizing radiation to water it creates tracks of ionized particles some transformation may occur,,,

the most interesting thing about potassium is that is the less electronegative chemical we can use... meaning its easy to ionize it.. make it lose an electron specially... this is why it form a hydroxide... it gives an electron to the water molecule staying in the solution as OH- and sodium ions..

one thing that is interesting in phisics is that if you get a positive charge and another not so possitive charge althought there is repeling force thes is also atraction... whenever there is diference in electronegativity among components of water it have the two forces...

so if you apply an electricfield the most electronegative will be closer to the negative electrode

Fabio, I am still struggling to find out where the neutrons are coming from in Hermans setup...
I See the hydrogen ions being accelerated by the hv and soft xrays.
Any ideas on that?

Here's something to consider...alltho we didnt get to actually see any details of Hermans "special designed ozonated water generator" we do know he used one from the interview .



http://www.google.com/patents/US3352642

Kevin, it seems I missed that oxon generator part...
Where did you read that, or seen that?

When I ran my motorbike on hho I also experimented with ionized air on the air intake at the same time.
I can tell you that it adds value :-)
Did Herman sucked the air in thru his cell or not?

Cheers

Potassium is a metal
Nickel is a metal

Cold cathode (Penning)
The Penning source is a low gas pressure, cold cathode ion source which utilizes crossed electric and magnetic fields. The ion source anode is at a positive potential, either dc or pulsed, with respect to the source cathode. The ion source voltage is normally between 2 and 7 kilovolts. A magnetic field, oriented parallel to the source axis, is produced by a permanent magnet. A plasma is formed along the axis of the anode which traps electrons which, in turn, ionize gas in the source. The ions are extracted through the exit cathode. Under normal operation, the ion species produced by the Penning source are over 90% molecular ions. This disadvantage is however compensated for by the other advantages of the system.
One of the cathodes is a cup made of soft iron, enclosing most of the discharge space. The bottom of the cup has a hole through which most of the generated ions are ejected by the magnetic field into the acceleration space. The soft iron shields the acceleration space from the magnetic field, to prevent a breakdown.[2]
Ions emerging from the exit cathode are accelerated through the potential difference between the exit cathode and the accelerator electrode. The schematic indicates that the exit cathode is at ground potential and the target is at high (negative) potential. This is the case in many sealed tube neutron generators. However, in cases when it is desired to deliver the maximum flux to a sample, it is desirable to operate the neutron tube with the target grounded and the source floating at high (positive) potential. The accelerator voltage is normally between 80 and 180 kilovolts.
The accelerating electrode has the shape of a long hollow cylinder. The ion beam has a slightly diverging angle (about 0.1 radian). The electrode shape and distance from target can be chosen so the entire target surface is bombarded with ions. Acceleration voltages of up to 200 kV are achievable.
The ions pass through the accelerating electrode and strike the target. When ions strike the target, 2–3 electrons per ion are produced by secondary emission. In order to prevent these secondary electrons from being accelerated back into the ion source, the accelerator electrode is biased negative with respect to the target. This voltage, called the suppressor voltage, must be at least 500 volts and may be as high as a few kilovolts. Loss of suppressor voltage will result in damage, possibly catastrophic, to the neutron tube.
Some neutron tubes incorporate an intermediate electrode, called the focus or extractor electrode, to control the size of the beam spot on the target. The gas pressure in the source is regulated by heating or cooling the gas reservoir element.

Radio frequency (RF)
Ions can be created by electrons formed in high-frequency electromagnetic field. The discharge is formed in a tube located between electrodes, or inside a coil. Over 90% proportion of atomic ions is achievable.[2]
Targets

The targets used in neutron generators are thin films of metal such as titanium, scandium, or zirconium which are deposited onto a silver, copper or molybdenum substrate. Titanium, scandium, and zirconium form stable chemical compounds called metal hydrides when combined with hydrogen or its isotopes. These metal hydrides are made up of two hydrogen (deuterium or tritium) atoms per metal atom and allow the target to have extremely high densities of hydrogen. This is important to maximize the neutron yield of the neutron tube. The gas reservoir element also uses metal hydrides, e.g. uranium hydride, as the active material.
Titanium is preferred to zirconium as it can withstand higher temperatures (200 °C), and gives higher neutron yield as it captures deuterons better than zirconium. The maximum temperature allowed for the target, above which hydrogen isotopes undergo desorption and escape the material, limits the ion current per surface unit of the target; slightly divergent beams are therefore used. A 1 microampere ion beam accelerated at 200 kV to a titanium-tritium target can generate up to 108 neutrons per second. The neutron yield is mostly determined by the accelerating voltage and the ion current level.[2]
An example of a tritium target in use is a 0.2 mm thick silver disc with a 1 micrometer layer of titanium deposited on its surface; the titanium is then saturated with tritium.[2]
Metals with sufficiently low hydrogen diffusion can be turned into deuterium targets by bombardment of deuterons until the metal is saturated. Gold targets under such condition show four times higher efficiency than titanium. Even better results can be achieved with targets made of a thin film of a high-absorption high-diffusivity metal (e.g. titanium) on a substrate with low hydrogen diffusivity (e.g. silver), as the hydrogen is then concentrated on the top layer and can not diffuse away into the bulk of the material. Using a deuterium-tritium gas mixture, self-replenishing D-T targets can be made. The neutron yield of such targets is lower than of tritium-saturated targets in deuteron beams, but their advantage is much longer lifetime and constant level of neutron production. Self-replenishing targets are also tolerant to high-temperature bake-out of the tubes, as their saturation with hydrogen isotopes is performed after the bakeout and tube sealing.[2]
