Moab:
Good detail. Ok, so this will give you square waves? How do you tune it so you have square waves 50%  21 khz? IronHead's rendering showed a large rectifier too.

I built mine. But you can buy such a devise and use it for our little cell. The tuneing comes after you have a cell housing and a way to pump water through the cell and dissapate the heat. 50% is not the stadard Hz. there are things that come in to play for the final tuneing and opperation if the thing. Heck I'm still tuneing and tweeking. so to say you need 50-50 60-40 yadda-yadda Hz would be assumeing you have a cell built exactly the same.use the same water with the same minerial content. and have the same volume to heat, all of Which by the way will never happen. were not really doing HHO production here.. Now If your talking about a flip flop switch thats a whole bifferent ball game. the reson for the 50/50 flip is to prolong cell life. And in a sense i gess you could argue that it helps break down water. My earlire post will show proof of concept. For me that was enough. So I worked 14+hrs every day for nearly three weeks on the thing. Again I'm not sure what you want to do with it. See a Plasma ball? or build a heater. After builbing it there are some things I would do differently. and will add to the next one, My advise is wait for more input than mine before you start. Others have built it too. They will be along I'm sure.    Moab

Thanks much Moab. I am after a heater. If it took you nearly a month full time it going to take til Christmas for most people part time. This is why I suggested more specs. Surely now that you "did it" you could reduce the steps down more precisely.
I started out the year looking into working on low voltage ....1.5 electrolysis of water and burning the gas in a ceramic vessel, with one small hole for vacuum, which will get hot and burn into a plasma also. The gas reaches over 5K C so the hydrogen will ionize. This takes 20 amps to start but will run on less.....but probably not 10 watts! You should build one of these, the directions are more precise.
Anyway, the tungsten plasma generator may be more efficient. There needs to be more explanation on the pulsating electronic scheme. If you had to start over, how much less than one month would it take?

Hey MOAB;
can you parallel bridge rectifiers?  I've got 30 amp 1000V ones, enought to bank a few.

Also, can you build SCR's into a bridge?  I've got a handful of those(bigguns) too, but would you need a circuit to fire 'em?

Wishing I'd have paid attention in class,

Turtle

Ironhead:
Can looking at a plasma without eye protection burn your retina? Just a consideration.
