Hey u guys I finnished the drawings this si about the setup I had.
someone asked the distance between the bells i will have to go home and messure that but that will only be in two weeks time.
iI think every setup will differ from the size of the bell to the mains u use and at what pitch you arre operating my advice is build one and finetune it.sometimes I will use very little amps and some allot of amps (10A+ -) and the boiling will take forever.and then you just hit the sweetspot and there you go.

In the sunny South Africa we use 220VAC @ 50 HZ

i attached the Pictures I hope this will give you a good idea of how it looks at home

thanks

Hi Digits
Thanks alot for your reply, as well as for the Pics.
Now one can emagine, what was your setup.

If you arrive at home, it would be of much interest to do some mesurements.
First to know the start temperature of the Water and the Volume of it
second the rise of temperature according to time.
And finaly the Voltage, the current draw and the frequency.

However  thanks for your help, and have a nice time where you are.

I don't see that tuning the other bell will have any significance.....

I would then hit the bell and tune the generator to the same sound the bell made it was roughly 1550 to 1580....

The Davey method definitely requires BOTH bells to be tuned to mains freq or an octave thereof. This is very clear.

1550 - 1580 is almost two octaves on from 400.
The sequence runs 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800 and then it is inaudible.
1580hz is on the right track. It ought to be 1600, but 1580 is not to be sneezed at.
Paul.

Gradually gleaning the necessary information,thanks guys!!
What about the two bells being paraell over the whole area?
