URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

[callanan]

Hi All,

Please see my latest video here:

http://www.youtube.com/m1a9r9s9

Whilst further endevouring to increase the efficiency of the capacitor discharge circuit, tests revealed that a great deal of energy is wasted whilst the plasma is on because the power supply is still connected and as such is also powering the plasma even after the capacitor discharge is complete. This causes a great deal of wasted energy in heat and the requirement for a loading resistor in series with the power supply which also wastes energy in the form of heat.

Further analysis revealed that there was a requirement to disconnect the power supply whilst the capacitor discharged into the plasma so as not to waste energy. Forgoing a complex HV switching circuit, I found that an inductor could assist in holding the wasted energy from the power supply whilst the capacitor is discharging into the plasma and then when the plasma switches off, the back emf of the inductor will dump it's stored energy into the capacitor ready for the next discharge and so the power supply energy is not wasted but used. Please see the circuit diagram below.

As you can see in the video, this circuit is not only very simple but it is very efficient in getting most of the input energy to the plasma discharge. The plasma is so bright that it is like a welding arc but WITHOUT the heat when water is used, or else the spark plug does get warm but not hot if left dry. I have used this circuit continuously at pulse rates from 20 to 100 Hz with no problems and very little heat in any components.

At higher pulse rates it is difficult getting enough water into the plasma but if you manage to, it will shoot out like a jet engine flame with an equivalently loud noise as well. The light is so bright that I recomend dark glasses whilst testing this circuit and the noise is so loud, whilst pumping water into it continuously from high pulse rate explosions, that I also recommend ear plugs as my ears are still ringing...

At pulse rates from 20-70 Hz the input current at 12 volts to the inverter was between 2.5 and 5 amps. For the inductor I simply used a 12V standard car relay coil.

In my opinion I believe that this circuit so far will perform the best on a real engine. So I think I am ready for this step next.

I just thought I would make one more comment   before I  leave for a while .


I  saw someone  commented about  wearing   sunglasses or something  when looking at the arc .

I would say that  most sunglasses  don't  have enough   UV protection to do alot of good .
Weldinng goggles  or something  similar  should be used  if you  spend any amount of  time looking at the arc .

The  pain   you feel in your eyes  after  looking at  ANY arc  for a  little while is     from something  like   sunburn on  your retina  .   And yes the damage can be permenent .                 Dark  sunglasses  may or may not  have UV protection .
If they don't have UV protection    they will cause your pupels to dilate more ........causing   your retina to  burn even faster .

That is  exactly what  we are working on here .

Oh? Well I understand that is the goal, but most of what I've seen
posted here recently has zero to do with an engine and everything
to do with a circuit that produces a plasma which can ignite water aerosol...
And so I got the impression that what was happening here did not
really include the engine conversion part of the plan yet...
... but perhaps I overlooked something...

Oh, and on a sidenote I don't think anyone nowadays has sunglasses
without UV filter of some sort... But you welding goggles suggestion
may be a good one.

ALL dont look into the light #11 shield at least or turn and watch the shadow  you are welding here  Chet

Hi ramset,

Good advise. We certainly have a continuous arc that is very bright like an arc welder. But instead of producing such a bright arc with 1000-2000 watts input as in an arc welder. I am now doing it with just 60 watts input... Such is the difference when there no or very little heat output, unlike an arc welder...
