Hi Guys
Check this video:
http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=HHxAebQoFHE
It produces a lot of gas for only 0.03 amps!
It looks like a Aquafuel generator!?
Refer http://bingofuel.online.fr/bingofuel/html/aquagen.htm for details how to construct one yourself.
According to
http://www.nitroxtreme.co.uk/electronics/aquafuel.html
The Aquafuel Hydrogen reactor was already patented in 1898 by Hilliary Eldridge.
Thus it should be public domain!?

The jnlabs replication only needed 350 Watt (35V @ 10 amps) but
the nitroxtreme replication needed 1920 Watt (48V @ 40 amps) .....
Quoting from nitroxtreme.co.uk
"The maximum run time between altering the distance between the carbon rods I achieved was about 30 seconds! Not very good for running an engine from hey! To improve this I could have used a servo motor pushing the rods down continuously to maintain the arc.
I tried collecting the gas produced in a simple up-turned water filled bottle. The amount produced within 30 seconds of running was enough to fill a 300ml bottle (10ml gas in 1 second)."
Thus it seems that the gas production is not as high as I thought AND at the expense of consuming the rods very fast! :'(
Interesting piece of video Passion.
Looks like plasma electrolysis, but I for one can't see how you can only draw 30 milliamps when the current is arcing like that. It simply does not make any logical sense as arcing by it's very nature suggests high current. No arc welders I know of would operate at a mere 30mA.
Not enough info about the set-up can be gleaned from the video, too little info to draw any informed conclusions - makes you wonder where and how he has actually connected the ammeter in the cct.
I would like to know more - until then I'll personally be remaining highly suspicious!
Ok. see the attached for the low down.
How would one go about making a 25 KV supply? the only way I can think is with the Line o/p transformer of a color tv.
Look what i found in my popular science magazine.

Glad someone is comercializing two products we have been trying to perfect.

Very interesting, I stumbled across an inventor called James Hunt, http://cscinventorsclub.blogspot.com/
He uses this same Plasma technology, I did a quick search of this technology, but cant seem to find anything that explains it in laymans terms. :-[
Can anyone explain the system to me? Much appreciated ;)
DolceStefano, the following link provides the most information I could find and it says a patent is pending.

Hi Nightlife
Have any of the patents referred to at the link you provided, solved the problem of the carbon rods being consumed so fast?
That to me seems to be the biggest hurdle?

Cheers Nightlife, just saw that Passion had posted a link on the actual science of it.... I have a pile of carbon rods incased in copper from a cinema projector.... Gonna try this out.... ;)
Must find my shades ;D
Guys, I'm kind of worried of this, if for example the generator runs low on water, the arc will ignite the gases in the generator.... Its a bomb waiting to go off.........
@Dolce
You would need to use a water level detector of some sort to either keep the level above the electrodes or to add water when it gets low (I would say both to make sure you are safe).
@passion,
Very interesting Vid. Low Amps & Hi voltage, could do this with a car ignition coil. Use a power transistor or a early GM control module and away you go! just trigger it with a signal generator to get the right freq.
humm.. easy enough to try. Low cost as well, just get a couple of Stainless Steel rods for the electrodes, cost for this should be below $50.00 USD for the project.

Great! Let us know how much gas you get at what amps?
I am going to try and get some carbon rods myself.....
Hello all,
I have an Aquafuel generator at home. Not in use. It works great. As mentioned in a post before, 35V/10A = 350W on the secondary side of the transformer. On the primary, thats what you have to pay I measured 230V/1,5 - 2A.
I made it before my "adventure" with TPUs.
The good point is that the gas production is veeery large.When the water is warm, then, when the arc starts and you can see the big bubbles it seems like the water is cooking. A lot of large bubbles!! The bad is, that I consumed 1 carbon rod in 20 minutes. The carbon rods you have in 4,5V batteries.
If someone wants to build this you have to take care. The reactor should be at least 30 cm high, almost full of DESTILLATED water because there are released glowing carbon particles, sometimes, not always and when they get in contact with the produced gas......and not to forget the bubbler. It saves your live as has mine!!
If you want more informations just google Santili, magnegas.
I made the same but not soooo big. A feeding system, a compression system, storage...
As AM mentioned it would be interesting to try this with a high voltage or maybe better not to use pure DC but PULSED DC! Dont ask me about the frequency, ha! 42kHz??
Maybe it would work better with thungsten electrodes, pure thungsten? And dont look into the arc.
