HELIS - Hydro Electro Lytic Injector System

[evolvingape]

Hi everyone,

I am going to add a little more information here that may help explain what I was trying to achieve with the HELP / HELT projects.

Here are two quotes from this Wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

"High-temperature electrolysis (also HTE or steam electrolysis) is a method currently being investigated for water electrolysis with a heat engine. High temperature electrolysis is more efficient than traditional room-temperature electrolysis because some of the energy is supplied as heat, which is cheaper than electricity, and because the electrolysis reaction is more efficient at higher temperatures."

"High pressure electrolysis is the electrolysis of water with a compressed hydrogen output around 120-200 Bar (1740-2900 psi).[4] By pressurising the hydrogen in the electrolyser the need for an external hydrogen compressor is eliminated, the average energy consumption for internal compression is around 3%."

Tesla himself referred to his disc turbine as a heat engine, which helps us with the first quote, as that is what we need for steam electrolysis. It is also perfectly compatible for large surface area low pressure electrolytic pumping.

By directing the HELP output through a nozzle insert we create a very small area that all of the fluid must pass through. This area of maximum compression will be a much higher pressure than the HELP inter disc pressure and takes care of the second quote. We can choose to either use this high pressure to drive a HELT or terminate it in a HHO Resistor as documented in the AHELNI.

By adding tubular HHO technology and utilising the energy conversion properties of the nozzle insert I have also added supersonic fluid flow into the mix.

The end goal in all of this is to produce as a final product a "gas mixture" that has energetic content that can be detonated. I designed the Linear Firing Valve with this in mind.

The eventual system as I envision it will comprise of a HELP, a HELT or Resistor, and an LFV driving a PCT.

Hope that helps,

Hello Everyone

HELT celebrated it's first birthday yesterday, and I cannot believe a year has passed!

I thought we might as well kick off this year with something exciting so I wanted to share PHELIS with you

PHELIS means Plasma Hydro Electro Lytic Injector System and will hopefully allow us to investigate Plasma phenomenon in the field of propulsion.

PHELIS and PHELISA are designed to process fuel on demand into a Gas Plasma and then utilise that fuel to create a Rotary moment.

All of the skills and knowledge you need to build PHELISA should have been covered thus far. This is the basic level PHELISA and many other variations and combinations of components and systems is possible.

For example you can combine the LFV and PHELIS into one component and utilise it in a Housingless Rocket Turbine, that uses solid state HHO cell technology and achieves working fluid compression via centrifugal force... no HELP needed! 

Hope you all have a great year and build yourself some awesome toys...

You most certainly have put a lot of research and hard work into this!!

It seems you have explained the "How its done" With some of the things that fly in our Upper atmosphere?

Amazing concept,How would you slow it down ?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Just a quick commentary here to let you know the direction I was heading with all this...

As you can see PHELIS is a Closed System Crossover device and manipulates the energy states of both mechanical and energetic fluids, while allowing for precise control of both states at critical points.

It is well known that an electrical field increases in strength around a highly rounded tip, this is the lightning rod principle. It is also known that a Plasma can be formed from these tips when a kV range electricity signal creates ionization.

The idea behind PHELIS is to turn the HELIS insert into a gas processing and plasma producing insert. When combined with non return valves, timing actuators, expansion pressure flame speed differentiators, mechanical pulse width modulation via K valve pulsing, HELIS inverse nozzles and variable electrical signals, you end up with an extremely versatile design allowing control and experimentation of a huge range of variables.

As we can see in the PHELIS diagram the insert has been split into 3 electrodes:

The first on the parallel shaft section uses high electrical current to transform any remaining liquid into a gas of steam, water vapour, hydrogen and oxygen, via electrical dissociation of the molecular  bonds.

The second electrode controls the area between maximum compression and maximum expansion, and can be used either in the kV range to ionize the gas before reaching the tip, or via a high voltage signal to generate ignition via a spark gap at the area of maximum compression, you could also use high current here to further electrically dissociate the liquid water into gas as it transitions from high pressure to high velocity. It may also be possible under certain conditions to generate a plasma toroid at the area of maximum compression.

The third electrode is at the tip and generates a highly focused electrical field in the kV range that ionizes the supersonic gas and creates a highly conductive cone region.

The key point to understand in all this is that manipulation of both the mechanical fluid system and energetic fluid system is taking place, at the same time in the same space.

It is going to be important to maintain a smooth surface between conductor and non conducting parts of the insert. Surface area will be less of a consideration here than in solid state designs such as dry cells. A smooth surface will be essential to maintain the mechanical properties of the system.

Plastic insulators can break down in a high temperature plasma environment and so you may want to look to spark plug technology for ideas on suitable materials. I think I would go with ceramic insulators and titanium conductors (with a suitable conductive metal electroplated surface).

I have included the electromagnetic pinch as a concept here but have not included it in the design. I originally planned to use an EM pinch to create the compression and expansion phases within the mechanical system but decided against it as the HELIS insert offers permanent control of the mechanical system via physical constants. The pinch concept may be included at a later date to induce vortex spin in the gas flow output and will be as simple as placing a coil around the parallel pipe housing and discharging a capacitor across it.

The pinch shown here is axial but it is possible to spin the can as well. If you imagine holding the can in your hands and then twisting both cans in opposite directions a torque moment will be created about the centre point. You can also spin the can in the same direction by using multiple coils and achieve the same effect as rifling has on a bullet, imparting stability to the flow.

It is early days for all of these concepts having never been researched before in this way and so place your focus on testing variables and producing reactions. Once you get a feel for what works and what does not you will have efficiency figures. At this point you can start scaling down in an effort to increase efficiency and reduce the energy required to generate the desired output. Remember to have lot's of fun 

As for the secrets behind the space planes flying in our upper atmosphere... well I do not know about them... All I do know is that if I had the resources this is the direction I would be going in an effort to create some wonderful toys

I would suggest that like electrical current (an expanding force) and compressed air THRU a vortex tube device that there is a RETURN path that is cooling in the center of this plasma discharge and that each is moving as a vortex.  The center contracting charge is vortexing in an opposite direction.
