hydrostar hytronics

[urthlight]

Hello group  ,
Urthlight here, I am new to this group so I felt that introductions are in order. I have been a mechanic machinist, electronics tech, computer tech, network engineer, programmer, inventor et.al..
I just found this group through yahoo watercars. We have purchased the plans for the hydrostar system, and my job is to build the electronics unit. I was wondering if any of you guys have built this device, and would like to share your experiences with the group. I am having to rework the circuit to make it operate.  Any thoughts  any history???

hello ,

i have built the hydrostar and he works
but the hydrostar is no more than a powercontrol
it is not boost the hydro production but you can
control the amp's for more or less production

First time I hear of 'Hydrostar', but it really seems like some scammers trying to fool people out of their money for some plans they found on the Internet.
From what I can determine, 'Hydrostar' should be the same as http://forum.osen.org/Home/tabid/36/forumid/2/tpage/1/view/topic/postid/6/Default.aspx#297 which in turn is practical construction of US patent 6126794.

This is a hydrostar hytronics module. It comes with instructions so it will make it easy. Let us know how it works.

With regard to patent 6126794, here is one of its fundamental claims:

An apparatus comprising:

a. a container for holding a fluid solution including water;
b. a pair of electrodes arranged within said container, said electrodes being spaced apart from each other by 5 mm or less; and
c. a power supply coupled to said electrodes for providing a pulsed signal to one of said electrodes, said pulsed signal having a mark-space ratio substantially equal to 10:1 and a frequency of from 10 to 250 KHZ;
d. wherein said electrodes are adapted for submersion in said fluid solution.


Granted in 2000?   

Eh, a little close to Stanley's already expired patent, and the plentiful prior art in existence, no?

And does that claim not go out the window, if alternative implementations instead use a mark:space ratio of...9:1, 11:1, 12:1, etc?
