Passion 1: visual only..water stayed cleaner, noticeably higher production..amps/volts stayed the same. Am not ready to due volumetric testing until I have worked out the alternator assembly. It's not just the vinegar treatment but also the magnetising of the plates that has increased production. Tap water only. Refuse to go the distilled-additive/high amps, low volts path. Tap water, high volts, low amps. Teeter-totter effect.
Please check out waterforfuel.com to see Kevin's alternator/ac to dc set-up. (YouTube). I think he's on to something with his inputting of d.c. volts into the alternator. I am working on a 61 plate Boyce-style plate system using Kevin's alternator design. One difference though, I will be adding a high input voltage, variable, mutliple bandwidth, d.c. pwm to the equation. So the setup would be this: 12vdc battery to 1500 watt dc/ac inverter to a 13 amp variac, to a bridge rectifier to the input of the variable pwm, to the pos.neg. terminals of a second, belt-driven alternator. Mod the alternator output to produce a.c.; leaving the neutral a.c. wires alone, mod the other wires with a bridge back to d.c., now send those three wires, pos. d.c/neg. d.c/ and neutral back to your cell. Please let me know if any of you have tried this setup.
Hello fellow enthusiasts! This is my first post here and I would like to share my results. I am electronically challenged so please don't ask me to explain mathematical theories or why it works. I, like many others, have been using 302 plates from H. Depot. I learned, from a metal place here in FL. , that when the boaters use stainless (even 316) on their railings, it must be treated with acetic acid or it will corrode. I place the plates in tupperware container with white vinegar for a week before I use them. Before I do that, I sand the plates N & South and E & West, rinse them off in distilled water and then put them in the container. As Boyce said, wear gloves and keep your fingerprints off of them. After a week in the vinegar, I rinse them off with distilled water and let them dry. Next, following Boyces instructions, I bundle them all together and wrap 6 turns of copper wire around them. One end of the wire goes to the positive terminal of the battery and I quickly touch the other end to the negative end of the battery (a dozen times or so.) For some reason, my production is much greater than not doing this, and the plates don't show any sign of corrosion..despite that they're 302. I use 13 plates, one negative and one positive with all neutrals in between. Enjoy
What kind of vacuum pump? Try this: Impact Instrumentation (Caldwell, N.J.) MDL # E-12, 12 vdc, 8.0 amps. You'll need to put a pot on it to control the speed. It will pull over 30" HG. Used in ambulances for pure oxygen. Works great! Make sure you use reinforced tubing. Voltar
