Ronald Classen's H2O Motor Project

[rlm555339]

The generator:  Home-built Muller style brushless disc, 16" rotor, 2" x 1" neo magnets, #6 AWG magnet wire, S-260 soft iron shot amorphous cores, 3" long coils, 200 volt/35 amp FBR's, 10,000 uF/80 volt caps, #6 wire.  Supply is 24 rectified volts to 8 battery bank & two 5000 watt inverters.

The electrolysis reactor: Model 16 (16 quart) HEALTH pressure canner/cooker, 300 sq. in. of aluma-ti alloy anode/cathode coil, 24 vdc, plain tap water (no electrolytes other than normal alkalinity), plastic lined so neither current nor water contacts the vessel.

The motor:  Model "N" Briggs & Stratton small engine, 12 volt electronic timing via opto-coupler, car coil, and one-shot 555 with counter, home-made carburetor w/ flashback bubbler.

Progress at this posting:  Chemical engineer being consulted with regard to additive to water which would imitate a hydrocarbon without the pollution.  2H2/O2 mixture produces a detonation rather than a flame front combustion and thus produces more noise than power.  Motor has briefly (very briefly) run on it's own using the 2H2/O2 mixture.  Accumulated water in both intake and exhaust is ice cold.  Motor fan is being used to pump air back through the reactor to act as a turbo-charger (pressure) and I think this is diluting the mix to a non-detonative state.  Without it, there is not enough supply pressure to motor and it draws a vacuum with sucks out all the water in the carburetor flashback arrestor.

Objective is to get the motor to power the generator to electrolyze the water to make the fuel to power the motor, etc.

More will be posted as develops.

Tryto run it at 30:1 air: H2 + O2 mix !
You need less hydroxy gas foir a motor, so mix it with air
to get  a slower burning and less detonation !
Please keep us informed ! Many thanks !

Hi Ron

Cool project - good luck!

For what it is worth --- I spent much effort on using H2O2 in my engine with the same results --- Lots of bang - little else (not always in the engine either)
When I decided to seperate out the H2, My engine will at least run on it's own ( streached definition of run)

If you are interested in how I am accomplishing this at this point , let me know, I will post

Hi Dave,
sure post it. Please let us know, how you can run an engine
closed loop on theis energy.
Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

I will post at my earliest opportunity, but I must let everyone know, this is not open loop.
I have developed a battery management system plus trying to optimize H2 production, at the end of the day I am using grid power, the batteries will go dead, the trick is range - I am already challenging the limits of a DC motor with an IC
More later
