Plasma Electrolysis by IronHead

After watching that vid I figger I could try a different field.

I put this together and got an excellent stable arc, albeit with near saturation baking soda solution.

Still working on gittin' the amps down.

Turtle:
Looks great. Maybe you need a variac and something to pulse and reverse polarity of the current like Ironhead.


IRONHEAD:
It is possible to have a device like reverse induction, which makes electricity from heat. This could work with the tungsten plasma or the hho-ceramic heater. Check this out.

Turtle:
You have a good idea there. What if you tried just an eclipse shape that could be adjusted for closeness to the tungsten....think you might be too far and using more amps...possible. Experimenting with distance from rod might be worthwhile.

Turtle:
Maybe I meant a parabolic shape. If you used smaller and adjusted the distance, maybe less current. Look at the one Warlock made.

IH was of the opinion that the partial field would disintegrate rather quickly at the rod contact.   I'm gonna work with 2 feeds on the field.

Also, warlock's arc was anything but stable, and mine was rock steady.

Methinks the relationship of rod to field, applied voltage, and width of field have much to do with performance.   This was the first of a skinny-pipe design that proved the perf-plate field will work, at least initially.  Much more ahead.

I gotta review all these pages, cuz anomalies I seen need some explaining.   Much of study ahead, and yes, the variac is a must.   Jes didn't have it at the lab.  Step-up tx as well.

At least I be a-headin' in the right direction, uh huh.

More later.
