1 litre in 1 minute is spectacular, particularily if it happening at 1-1.5A - my kettle takes over 5min @ 2KW to boil 1.7L!

Pics, measurments, more info, please...

Having read all the many posts with great interests and I found that there were many valid Ideas tossed around.
I did not want to double post and  therefore I made sure that the following was not suggested by any other member before.
I am a great believer in process of elimination.
Therefore I thought one should obtain two Identical Tuning Forks at 50 or 60 hertz depending  upon your line frequency,
These tuning forks are I think made of Brass or some other conductive metal.
Forget about the shape of the Bells for a while as you now have two precisely  tuned electrodes that you can subject to your Line voltage and frequency and it should be fairly easy to move them apart while observing the ampmeter. If at resonance with each other  I would expect that there is a "sweet spot"  and the amp reading should dip.
This is pure speculation but I think its worth a try.
I have moved to a fairly remote area where I no longer have access to anything and this is hampering my own experiments. Need some ferric Chloride, it has to be shipped minimum purchase from Vancouver etc. it is a costly undertaking.
Needed a function Generator Chip minimum order was 25 Dollars and since 9/11 they ask me a barrage of questions whether it is for military purposes and  what I am using it for etc. If you ask for KOH  I am afraid that they send someone to check me out.
I had another Idea that  has not been tried and I suppose it may just the mysery circuit that is inside Davey's sphere ?, namely  a stainless steel coil having both reactance and resistance. This coil could be wound to resonate at any harmonic frequency. I am not good in formulas and Math any more but there should be an optimum length's for 110VAC resistance and while this wire will heat up due to the currentflow it should also create an electromagnetic field that may ring both Bells.I think if you were to use a PWM Controller like a simple light dimmer you may enhance the effect of literary hammering the bells and also have tha ability to limit your current to start off with. If you are worried of blowing fuses just series up the circuit with a high load. I use an electric Oil Heater of 1500 Watts  just in case I create a short.
Another thought I had as far as the two half  Bells  welded together I think the Weld would stiffen and the temper would destroy their ability
to ring. Just a thought.
I think if any of these Ideas work in praxis then I will be another step closer to Stanley Meyers Invention as I feel that there is a very close correlation.

I doubt that anyone would make 50 or 60hz tuning forks. They are not musical notes.

KOH? Most people using KOH can use NaOH, which is sold for unblocking drains.

Hi All
Been reading this thread with interest,just two questions,at the moment,if someone would be good enough to answer,do BOTH bells need to be tuned to 50hz?and doe's the surfice of the bells need to be totally parallel to each other over there intire area,if so by moving them together or apart they will of course not be totally parallel over the entire area.
I would like to replicate this one,but need to understand it all before I start,well as much as I can.
happy hunting

This is the main problem, nothing is known for certain about what is required - everything posted here is mere speculation!  The only thing we have to go on is its general construction and that some form of 'resonance' is probably involved - hardly definitive!
