Stanley Meyers Coil USes Volts not Amps to create HHO

[cyrus]

Im not sure what HT is but Ive made another diagram of exactly what i did.

I have used a 3 amp, 400PIV rectifier diode.

The only place ive tried putting a diode is on the positive wire coming from the pwm to the coil. I think ive also tried it on the positive wire coming from the coil to the cell. Both instances nothing different happened.

What I mean by HT is High Tension at the coil output. Try soldering a few diodes together in parallel, and then put the resulting diode pack between the coil output and the chamber. That should rectify the current going into the chamber.

I took up your suggestion and added 3 diodes between the coil and the cell having the current going towards the cell. Nothing happened even after spending a few minutes adjusting the frequency and the gating.

I then tried adding a spark gap before and after the diodes and it would show more than 500v going through the cell. Even then no activity within the cell (no water splitting at all). I think maybe the current is going right through the water to the negative terminal. Im not sure what else to try. Any more suggestions?

If I can think of more suggestions, I will let you know. The most important thing though, don't give up trying  .

Take a look at this:

I'm not an electronics wiz. can anyone better describe what is going on in that first circuit? What should the components be used for higher voltages? Maybe this will help make the step up transformer we're trying to make with the coil.
