URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

hi greg

thanks a lot for all your great work with the VEXUS ciruit. i am currently sourcing all the components to replicate your setup. living in south africa it is a bit difficult to get all the parts you have, but im getting there!

i have some questions that i would be over the moon if you could answer for me!

- with regards to your voltage multiplier, when u use 8 caps, is that a doubler or quad?
also, in the photo there are two diodes between the caps, but they are not shown in your diagram?

- the power resistor you use...if i cannot find one, is a light bulb a suitable substitute?

- the CDI cap you use looks like a microwave oven cap, but will a standard alluminium electrolytic cap of the same specs also work?

- and finally, must all the resistors in the ocsillator be 5 Watt or greater?

i am sorry for the barrage of questions! but parts are expensive over here and i want to try and get i right first time. dunno how often that happens!

good luck with the bug!

many thanks

Hi Graham,

First thanks for your comments ... you're welcome. 

Here is your information:

The 8 caps are 2 groups of four in parallel ... for capacity only.  I could not find 'big' high voltage caps.  They are 100 uF x 410 VDC.  It is a doubler.

Yes a bulb will work ... use 30 or 40 Watt ... bigger is a waste of energy ... too big and it will just arc continuously.

You may use aluminum electrolyte caps ... BUT ... if you do, they can't cycle full charge / discharge like oil filled caps so.  If you use (for example) a 3 uF CDI Cap that is rated at 400 VDC, using just one will get very hot and fail.  So, you must increase the cycling capacity by using 4 of them.  Two sets of caps in series, then those two groups in parallel.  This makes a 3 uF x 800 VDC Cap.  To be even safer ... triple it.   Three sets of three caps in series wired in parallel.  I think this makes a 3 uF x 1200 VDC.  Monitor the heat and see.

I made mine ALL 5 Watt.  For a twelve volt input system I would not go smaller.  Technically, the 180 Ohm resistors need only be 2 Watt.  I didn't like that.  They felt like they got too hot, but they didn't fail ... still I built with 5 Watt.

Be safe with high voltage.  Good luck.  Happy building.

Peace,

Greg

jees greg, thanks for the excellent info! that has put me on my way! gona get the stuff today and get the show on the road!

you are the master!

Hi everyone,

I started a new topic on a very simple resonant circuit I put together. If anyone is interested the topic is located here: http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=6225.0

Thank you all

Hi again Graham,

Use the smaller choice for the transformer.  I ended up with 10,000 uF x 16 VDC cap pairs on my oscillator.   I used a 115 VAC x 10 VAC (series connected - w / center tap) 2.4 Amps.  It works great for my 4-cylinder.  It is very tempting to overkill and end up going nowhere.
