    I have gotten alot of emails asking about the tube cell being tuned or matched for mass.IMHO the tube cell was just a lot of radom length pieces thrown together.I have stated this before.So here a a couple of pictures that just prove my point.

    Thanks Dynodon, always great to see the original stuff.

    Looks like a junkyard of tubes to me as wel, Dynodon!
    Nothing special calculated tubes over there.

    Thanks for posting!

    each outer tube has 2 slots thats odd

    Two slots is intriging....

    Also intriguing is the yellowish color that is already perceptible in the old videos...And Interesting that inside the inside tube too, I think is a kind of resin water resistant to enclose the electric field only in the middle between the tubes. I tried to do here but i used transformer insulation liquid, they became yellow too but in the water its color changes become white brown.


    The other cool thing is that he made it in such way that he could disassembly it.


    I noticed a tube of the diameter of the outer tubes under the base of the inner tubes.. whats that?


    I heard that some one said it was a piezoelectric oscillator or something like this...


    Thanks a lot Don

    sebosfato,
    that isn't a tube in the center under the plate,it's a piece of stainless bar stock that is used for the negative wire hook up.It has a hole drilled and tapped in the center.There was an "O" ring that went between it and the bottom of the cell,to seal the bolt that went out the bottom.I took it apart because it was leaking,so I replaced the "O" ring.Thats why I took it apart,just took pics while I was at it.
    The color of the tubes is from the brown scum that comes out of the water when runing it.Over time it discolored the tubes.It does come off if you rub it.

    Interesting, the strange thing is that my water here don't make this to the tubes or plates i have.. Thats why i thought of it... Very cool =) Thanks

    Dynodon, were there any spacers between the tubes?

    If I remember,there was cross holes drilled through the sides of the inner tube,and there was small round plastic dowls crossing at 90 degrees.These dowls touch the inside of the outer tube and they keep the center tube centered.There wasn't any spacers between the tubes.Hope that makes sense.

    Don you mean that this "dowls" cross the inner tube thru this holes and thus work like spacers? What was this dowls made of? Plastic" well makes a lot of sense!

    Take an inside tube drill a hole through the side of it from one side out the other.Now take a pieces of plastic rod the same size of the hole you drilled,and stick it all the way though,so it sticks out both sides.Then trim it down untill it fits inside the outer tube.Now drill another hole 90 degrees from the first hole,either above or below the first.and do the same as the first,trim to fit.

    Perfectly clear! Do you took note of the distance between the holes of how many holes there was?


    Thanks

    I think that there was only one set towards the top of the tubes,they were just below the notches.The spacing at the bottom of the cell is held by the plates.

    Thanks for the explanation Dynodon, how thick was the acrylic tube, it looks pretty thick, 3/8? or 1/2?

  17. Dynodon

    #17 · date not recorded

    I would have to say it was 1/2 thick.The top and bottom parts of the cell were bolted into the tube.

    Dynodon,
     
    Do you know how long the 0.75" outer tubes are exactly (or at least one of them) and how long the 0.5" inner tubes are exactly (or at least one of them)?

    Don i would like to ask you something...


    There was any kind of conductive surface on the outside of the container? I don't know why but i remember to see a photo where there was a circle maybe made of copper around the cell... Can you confirm that?


    Could you also describe how exactly the inner tubes where fixed on the disk and how that disk was fixed in the bottom of the cell?


    Thanks again.

    I dug through my notes and I found the measurements for the demo cell.I couldn't remember if I even had them.
    The plexiglass tube was 5-1/2 inches diameter,3/8 thick.

    NOTE:The tubes on average were 13-5/16 inches long,the outside tubes were different thicknesses,some were .030 inches thick and some were .043 inches thick.So that shoots any tube resonance matching theory in the bud.!!!!

    A 5/16 nut was tach welded to the bottom of each inside tube
    The straps on the outside tube were tack welded also and were 3/4 inch wide and @ 3-1/2 inches long
    The top and bottom plexiglass plates were @ 2-1/2 inches thick.
    Thats all I have,the rest you'll have to take from the pictures.
    Again,from what I just gave you here and have stated before,IMHO the tubes were just random pieces thrown together,and not tuned for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So take this info and do whatever you want with it,you have my opinion!
    And thats all I have to say about this from here on out.I will answer no more questions about how it was built,you have what I have.

    i was thinking about this last night  and came up with
     
    the center tubes have hole drill thru them  and nut welded to bottom   
     
    the hole is their to put screw drive thru so you can thighten the bolt on tthe bottom of the tube  with out  it spinning in your hand
     
    the slots are in the outter tube so you can fit screw driver  into center  tube with out having to remove outter tube

    i have a hole in my inner tube just like that, but it's at the bottom, and i tighten the inner before the outer

    I have seen a lot of videos of Stan marketing this concept.  The video of the VW powered by water, the process of the electrolysis in his tube set, and the hydrogen flame.  Does anyone have a video of Stan demonstrating the  “instantly” releasing thermal explosive energy (gtnt)?  Did he ever film a demonstration to prove that claim?  If there is a video of that I would like to find it.

    It appears as though the slots could have been cut with a hacksaw and the bottom squared off with a small triangular
    or flat file. There are definite angled marks on the edges of
    slots. The slots on each tube are directly opposed fom each
    other. This does not look like a milling bit was used. It is very rough.
