I'm shortly going to be getting into this.
After watching the full video of Stanley Meyers demo, which we're told is straight tap water, running at about 100mA, I decided to test this, with a latch-up of junk lying about in my workshop.
Don't laugh, I used a CD Tub, Tap water, 2 pairs of stainless steel tweezers, 1/2" apart, No electrolyte and 30 Volts @200mA
I was quite suprised on the ammount of Hydrogen produced with the puny area of my electrodes? I used a variable PSU which does 0 to 30V with variable current upto 2.5 Amps. #Note: at 12V, not much was happening.
It was mentioned that Meyers was using High Voltage, pulsed in some magic way @ 20kHz. I think the pulsing is relevant, this maybe setting up some sort of cell resonance that enhances the effect, producing more gas?
As soon as time permits I'll have a go at a 'Meyers' like unit, and mess with higher volts at variable frequency, possibly using gated bursts, with some sort of current monitoring feedback, when the optimum efficiency is found, use the feedback to control the cell drive to maintain this optimum?
I like the idea of running the process at low temperature, as in his demo unit. I also wonder if Meyers was using Chemalloy Tubes? as I don't recall it saying what he 'actually' used?
The electronics is fairly simple, it's the mechanical engineering I'm not really geared up for, as I'm only an electronics engineer, but it's worth investigating further.
Just a few thoughts
