CarbedNotch,
Are your outer tubes connected to one another? Also, how close to one another are your tube sets? Thanks. -

Outer tubes are connected but the inners are not. My tubes are .070" and .024" on the 2 demo units ive built. The .024" is much more responsive.
I'm uploading a video now. -

CarbedNotch,
Thanks for sharing the video with us. You have a very responsive cell. -

the cell started humming and then shacking, "viberating" at first i thought the humming was coming from my power supplie but further investigation proved that it was not comming from the power supply but from the fuel cell.
I discovered this today also! Its amazing what you might hear w/out an alternator roaring away
It sounds like a distorted buzzing sound and its hard to lock on to its peak effect...
I also learned not to hook the o-scope to it unless you want to weld something.
I'd like to add that I was only able to achieve this ringing reaction with only one of my cells. It was the one That is 10"long with the .024" gap. "Little man" is responding much better to my setup then the 11.5" .070" gap "Big-Boy" cell. The larger gap cell wants more power put to it and I think my 13amp variac is just not powerful enough for it.
"Little Man" is now powerful enough to run a torch all on its own and still push pressure. I have had 3 explosions because if the back-pressure drops it pulls the flame into the bubbler. very scary and it got me all wet. I wonder what will happen if I hook the variac to my neon sign transformer then to a bridge rectifier then to the cell...? -

i wondered the same thing! but i think the trick to that will be in the cell setup

test done.... no reaction. -

Just curious, are your outer (neutral) tubes connected to each other?
Are you checking your PM's lately? -

yah, the outter tubes are connected to each other! i will check me pm's now... -

Hi all
I am planning to get a variac for my experiments. I want to take the output of one of my stator windings and connect it to the variac, then take the output rectify it and hook it upto the rotor.
Most variacs are rated for 110 volts 60hz.. But my input from the stator side to my variac will approximately 300 hz 40 volts peak to peak max.
Will a standard off the shelf variac work? Has any one tried regulating the output of the alternator using a variac. That is the alternators output is the variac input.
I dont want to waste my money if someone has already tried this and found that variacs wont accept alternator voltage?
what about 400 hz alternators?
http://www.elect-spec.com/variac_400.htm
It says "May be Operated at 60 Hz for Input BELOW 55 Volts"
My input is going to be below 55 volts but it will be 350 to 400 hz? Has any one used / experimented with 400hz variacs? My financial resources are limited and i want to make sure I get the right variac. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks yall -

Hi WF,
I do not see any problems with that idea! Very creative!
A variac is simply a transformer. So ac input wil bring ac output.
the diff between 60hz and 300hz is not that big. So on that level i do not see any trouble.
All these advises are my own 2 cents on that. All financial risks taken on them are for yr own....
Its for me the same. Money is not a unlimited sourche

Ok you dont want to wast any money,,, For one, you dont even have to hook AC to the stator coil, DC will work better.. This is because of the way the rotor turns, the way its made, it oscillates as it spins.
I have hooked 12 volts to the field coil and spun it at 3k or so rpms to try what your talking about, it does not work, i have not tried a variac that i can remember, i would think it would be again, nothing.
i think your wasting your time, but you can confirm, maybe i didn't put alot of effort in it when i tested it, if it worked i think you all would know about it because i would have posted the finding.
you ask, i replied.
