This system doesn't require a step charging waveform. Once it's fine tuned to establish resonance, both the voltage and the pulse frequency are held constant after that. Increasing gas output is automatic, without increased potential. But geometric output does require additional current, so Amp restriction isn't used.
A 4" 304ss, with a 1/16" thick shell is $69. Anyone have other ideas? A sink drain plug has about the right shape for half of it - with holes - but I don't know if you can get ss. And don't use resteraunt cups, because they do corrode.
Something else I'm thinking about is the GEET would run off of Mountain Dew, which is carbonated sugar water. This was without compressed air. Perhaps the 125 PSI, from the atmosphere, would ensure an adequate amount of CO2? I've seen more than one demonstrated electrical effect involving combustion produced CO2. Without hydrocarbon combustion, the needed gas could come from compressed air.
I'm the last person who's going to dispute that Free Energy is available from water. I've read reports that a water arc explosion produces 200 times the energy needed for detonation. The primary issues I see is that most of the output energy appears in the form of light and sound, with heat and pressure being less significant. The other thing is that any pressure produced is immediately followed by a collapse in the form of suction. So there's no net pressure blast. However, if a nano fog could result from spraying hot water under pressure, THAT could be ignited by a Ball Lightning type discharge. Especially if hho is added to the mix. So my assessment is that we still need the VIC.
Well, there's something I hadn't thought of: I can pull super heated water from the RADIATOR. And I can take the back two cylinders on my straight six and use them to pump up enough air pressure to run the other four cylinders. The question is, where does the heat come from to boil the radiator? AND, what do I do with all those pulses from the motor driven alternator?
Ferromagnetic material passing through the center of an energised coil will pull the flux inwards. This can generate an output pulse from a secondary coil closer to the center. (Some railguns are driven with a Pulsar which uses a reciprocating piston engine and a superconducting outer coil.). Carbon is diamagnetic and pushes the flux outwards, rather than pulling it inwards. Bifilar, rather than concentric windings might work, as long as one winding is energised.
Corona wire tests with a candle flame indicate the flame does have a charge. Normally, DC corona wind blows the flame. But when the flame is centered between two opposing magnets, the flame is pulled towards the corona wire. This is a fairly strong effect. One of the magnets got hot and lost most of its field, so it might be best to use a coil around the fire. This will separate charges towards the outside of the flame and at the center. Any current produced by the flame could be fed through the coil. Efficiency might still need to be addressed and, perhaps, improved.
With the plasma diode, the plate is immersed in a magnetic field, which can be provided externally with a nearby magnet. This field causes positive particles to move towards the plate, preventing them from traveling to the point electrode(s) which are outside the field. The hold off voltage depends on the field strength. Electrons picked up by the non magnetised electrode travel through the external load circuit, to neutralize the positive charge on the plate.
With 168 hours in a week, that's 8,736 hours in a year. I doubt that a car's motor will run non stop for as many as 40,000 hours without breaking down. So the plasma diode looks like a better option for converting hho's energy into electricity.
And the hydrogen gas priduced by the naoh and alu is passing the plate with mag field and the pointed electrode? And after that the gas goes where?
First you have to mix the h with air, then burn it. The diode generates electricity by separating the charges in the flame.
man i used a small heat dissipator as test and a big chunk of copper bare wire.. . all inside a plexyglass with about 3 liter of solution...
it gave up to 1 amp or 2 dc if i remember well so having many buckets can be connected in series and perhaps make a induction heating device to regenerate the aluminum... if we put aluminum oxide in molten aluminum will it convert or the temperature must be higher?
My computer quit on me a couple of weeks ago so I can't easily reply by effectively quoting my prior message which already answered your question.
The only information I have about the friction errosion electrolysis is what I remember reading back then. He was scraping an aluminum wire across a copper rod. Further details will come from experimenting. I currently have a number of stiff bronze wires, around #16AWG, which are a couple of feet long. I can cut them down and lay them out, to make a strap 4" wide. I think the strap should have a slight angle across the outside of the drum, to ensure complete coverage. These wires look like thin, nonfluxed brazing rods. About the same diameter as the EDM cutting wires on those spools, although that wire is softer and easier to bend.
I do have a couple of solar panels. The regular panel for the bus somehow got a bullet hole in it, but, even with a completely shattered cover glass, it still runs the room light for at least two days, if I forget to charge the battery. The cheap plastic panel keeps the motor home brightly lit all night, front and back. But it takes a long time to recharge the battery. It's usually sometime in the afternoon before I can plug in the little inverter, to power my Dremel tool or NST. The price of panels on EBay is down to $84, so I may order one or two more.
Good luck with your hydrogen candle. Try making a plasma diode, with a neo magnet for one electrode and a needle point for the other. At one percent of the cost of a fuel cell, the plasma diode might be better than trying to run a car engine 24/7 for a few years.
And I'm thinking about a water Fusor. Like Stan's spherical cavity, but with the positive pulses going to the shell, using pulses with increasing frequency and decreasing amplitude. More than a hundred people have built working Fusors. At 80 to 100 kW output power, no one has figured out how to extract the energy, which ends up melting the inner grid. So if water molecules are shot through the hot spot, maybe the heat will split them?
Alumina is refined back to aluminium by mixing it with creolite, melting the mixture at 1300 degrees Celsius, then electrolyzing it with six volts and 100,000 amps. Wouldn't it be great if we could just apply some VIC pulses to the cell, to keep splitting the Oxygen out of the alumina? Then the aluminium would only be like a catalyst.
Out here bare land is $1,500 for an acre and a half. They won't set a power pole without a septic tank, so that's another $5,000. Harbor Freight has a 7KW generator head for $300. So seven of those would be $2,100. So that's $8,600, plus the first couple of month's supply of fuel metal. And the cost of assembly. I have an extra vehicle with a strong engine to crank the generators, so the whole thing looks doable.
That's a good idea Steve, about adding a filtration system. The waste alumina could be sold to the recycle company, to pay for the electrolyte and then some.
Where I live in the US, a kWh costs 11 cents and the utility company is required to buy co-generated energy. They want $30,000 to extend the power lines out to my place, although I could buy another property which is on grid for the same amount, or less. I think you're on to something.
Sounds like a pretty good opportunity. Keep in mind that the metal/air battery (with electrolyte) also puts out H2 during its operation. The tricky part is preventing the oxide layer buildup which prevents further reaction. Currently, researchers are mixing in Gallium, which is pretty expensive to reclaim. Years ago, some guy ran his car with hydrogen by scraping a fuel wire across a rod, under water. Friction either prevented the oxide or caused it to fall off, so the wire could be reversed and reused a number of times. I don't know if a graphene layer would block the corrosion, but that does work in car batteries. Maybe we can reverse pulse the cell periodically, to blast the alumina from the surface?
There could be a lot of money in this, as long as you can set up the debt account to get it started.
Using batteries like that as a voltage divider will only work if they all have the same internal resistance, overall health, and draw. Once even one battery thinks it's fully charged, the divider network will fail, placing up to full voltage on the paralleled load.
Energy storage in capacitors is measured in Joules (W/second). For instance, Moray's walnut sized 'sparking condenser' would store 5,000 Joules at 10 kV.
HV motors are a special area of technology. One model has a rotor with radial corrugations. For cooling, it's advisable to have a number of holes in the ridges. To avoid complications, it's probably best to learn to use what's available to us. A solar panel can power some motors directly, such as a water pump or automotive engine cooling fan.
Not sure where you're headed with this, but I can see a point of potential relevance. For instance, you could use the starter to drive a three phase alternator, chop the pulses so they squeeze together without overlapping, then hook it up to a WFC. If you're going to power the starter with HV, its wire size can't be too small, but doesn't have to BE small. The important factor is the HV has to be a pulse. You need to use a pulse forming technique, just as you would with an electrically produced EMP, except it would be in line (in the circuit), rather than fed to a coaxial ring antenna. So try chopping the HV and connect a metal funnel in the circuit going to the motor, for a biphasic shape resonance tuning effect. And be sure to use at least 20 feet of large gauge wire between the funnel and the motor, to allow the pulse to condense, before doing its magic in the motor. edit: Otherwise, you might radiate a pulse anyway, frying the electronics in your car and everything else within two or three blocks.
The quantum behavior of orbital electrons isn't the same as that of free electrons moving under the influence of electrical fields. Two closely spaced protons might actually pull an electron into the cancellation region, if the plasma electron temperature isn't too high. Trying to get fusion with ultra high temperature might be making the quest harder than it needs to be. I remember reading in the Bible that when the Prophet Ezekiel saw a wheel within a wheel come down from the sky, he also saw a vision of a flame infolding on itself. This is a good description of my plasmoid fusion experiment.
Still, there are Inventors who have claimed deuterium production from Hydrogen. Even the production of Helium. So, somehow, an electron is getting inside a proton at least some of the time, for neutron formation.
