Practical Method for Production of Water Fuel with Piezoelectric

Hey Altrez,

I don't get why it would be corrupt? I just downloaded it again today unrared it and it opens fine. I am using windows 7 ultimate and used winrar to compress it. If you PM your email I can send it through my gmail that way.

In your earlier post when you said adjustable power supply meant that I should pick up a 110v power supply? We are not going to use a battery then? I should also pick up a function generator and scope? What specs am I looking for? Like ranges I mean?

I appreciate your help Altrez hands on approach is the best!

Thanks
Chris

Hi Superman,

You should have a variac, adjustable transformer. They are fairly cheap on e-bay and come in really handy for our work. I got an industrial one for $10 on e-bay. You will need a scope to adjust your potentiometer to the desired frequencies. I think you can do without the function generator.

Best Regards,

Slovenia,

Variacs are great to have this is true. However I am going to show you a way to run this from a 12v car / lantern battery. We will convert to AC that can produce a clean sine wave at the correct frequency rage, then output that to our transducers.

You need to remember that we are simply making a dedicated circuit for the piezo an not using the standardized one that comes with the transducer..

The function generator is done ready to go. All you have to do is change the dial to the correct frequency select your wave form and output voltage. Its a very simple way to tinker with the right frequency. AND I RECOMMEND that if you have the cash to pick one up for prototyping.

When you have it tuned in. The you produce the correct circuit. Its so very easy to do. Takes all the guess work out of the circuit.

Hello Chris,

I am not sure I will re download it later. We are going to use a battery. The reason for the adjustable DC power supply is to really get the input power tuned in. Then we will run from the correct battery.

Think about it like this. We are building a frequency generator based on the information we have. If you buy a Function generator then you can fine tune everything to your personal reaction chamber. Its the easy way to go an it will save you hours of hard work an headaches in the long run. I encourage you to look up how one works then you will completely understand where I am coming from.

If you do not have scope you will have a very hard time understanding how all this is working. You can get one form eBay for $60 its pretty much a requirement.
