I once built the Water Fracture apparatus from Chris Eccles, two plexiglass sheets were the walls of a container, cm in width, water in it.
Aluminum sheets were the electrodes, the high voltage pulses came from a timed flyback transformer.
Sometimes it would ark through the whole centimeter (so the voltage must have been > 10kV), but the water didn't change a bit. Since then i'm skeptic of the high voltage water fracturing thing.

Well, if u had > 10 kV then the current was probably minimal and also the question comes up, were you pulsing it and how were you pulsing it? ... P.S. the moment it arches it looses it's ability to affect the water, you have to lower the voltage and reduce the distance of the electrodes.

here's the patent, i pulsed it exactly as that.
the only thing was the ocassional sparking which shouldn't have occured. and probably the gap was too large, but the voltage was high enough.

okay i guess it weren't 25kV on either side, how would one do that without sparking through...

[peterpierre]

That is the catch, the occasional sparking, it is telling you that the voltage is far to high - P.S. I do believe that the patent mentiones deliberately too high of a voltage, According to my understanding the voltage should be kept from below 1 kV (500 - 600V) up to a maximum of 1.5kV (at the very most) depending on distance of the electrodes, we cannot allow arching to occur, because the moment it arches ur entire HV Field collapses, once that happens u use any polarization effect it may have or have had on the water

[haithar]

Yeah i changed the voltage to a lower value so it wouldn't spark, but the water was still unimpressed.
