Water Burner (easy to build open source)

[oroshay]

Hi all,

I am sharing my machine with you. Not to sell but for you to build. An open source project if you like. I have the basic machine as outlined below running successfuly, and have future plans to use it to generate super heated steam.

Readily available parts are all you need to build one.

All you need to build one of these is a small welding machine. A TIG welding machine is prefered as it has a high frequency start feature built in that is used to start and maintain an arc, although an ordinary stick welder (much cheaper) can be used and modified with added high frequency injection.

The small inverter welding units that are available today are indeed small, portable and powerful.

The Earth Clamp and Live electrode holder are replaced with tungsten electrodes (available from welding suppliers). You also need:

1. A suitable source of sprayed water. Like a carburetor.
2. A high frequency square wave pulse (20khz or higher) injected into the circuit.
3. A ceramic tube.
4. A low pressure compressed air source to blow the water spray into the tube.

...and you have a basic setup that will produce a plasma arc and will burn water.

Continuously burn water. Like a jet engine flame.

Arrange the tungsten electrodes to protrude into a ceramic tube with a 6mm gap between them, and spray water into one end of the tube. As soon as the water spray fills the spark gap, the high frequency strikes the arc between the electrodes and burns the water. A nice orange glow surrounds the end of tube signifying a plasma is present.

The arrangement of the parts is like this:
A ceramic tube is connected to a carburetor via a heat resistant flexible tube. A variable speed vacuum cleaner in reverse (blowing) is connected to the inlet of the carburetor.

My intention is to produce instant super heated steam, but yours could be to use this in other ways depending on your needs, such as heating your house, transport, or generating your own fuel-less electricity cheaply to get partially off the grid.

Best regards, and leave feedback as to how you get on with your project. I won't be fielding questions on this as I assume you will use Google to supply your answers. It's pretty basic stuff anyway.

Good Luck!

Do you have a video of it or can you make one?

Hi! Oroshay;

I notice in your above presentation that you don't make any claims
about overunity energy production. So some questions I have are:

o Do you feel your device uses electricity to produce more net heat
then would be produced in a nichrome heated boiler, for instance, as
an arc welder can use quite a bit of power? They usually operate on
a 220-240Vac utility lines.

o Can you specify a manufacture and a part number for the TIG
welder that has the additional option features that you describe.

o Do you disable the welder's HF high frequency signal and
inject your own frequency? Or is the HF signal put in some
other way? Or do you just use the welder's HF?

Your project does have characteristics of a water burner.
(a device that uses an underwater arc to access overunity
energy production though cold fusion of hydrogen in the feed
water)

Thank You.

Burning water with a frequency?

I knew the guy in Florida did this,so you are saying its no great task?
A standard Tig machine makes this frequency?
Yes we could google that ,or call a manufacturer.

The rest seems KISS ?
By implying some type of off grid benefit,you must "feel" this yields more than it uses?

A picture would be really cool!!

Hmmm...[a Stefanism]
I have several welding machines but no "Tig".

We gotta try this fellas!!
How to proceed with the frequency issue??

Any ideas?
Chet

Ps
well I did some Googling
AC square wave [not DC]
as low as 2-5 amps[input]
20-250 Htz

Oroshay
A teentsy bit more info on what you used [machine and setting/frequency]would really help?
does it have to be an AC square wave machine?

I believe the "water burner" phenomena described in this thread is covered by U.S. Pat 6,156,994 titled "Arc-Plasma Method for Welding Metals" by A.I. Apunevich.  This technology has been incorporated in a lightweight (8kg) portable plasma gun called the "Multiplaz 3500" plasma-steam torch.  The YouTube videos for this torch show how it easily cuts thick metals.  It apparently is putting out far more than the 2kW power it is consuming.
