a few comments, an idea I'm trying and 1 question:
1) I just don't understand why everyone isn't standardizing with
distilled water.. I'm paying 64 cents (US) per gallon for it here in TN and I hear that Sears has a water distiller that is pretty affordable too.
2) The frequency I've heard of is
42.8K and it's octaves which puts the first audible one down at 10,700Hz. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the frequency can be reflected in
sonic/ultrasonic in addition to electrical. I have been assuming that this is the frequency to separate the O from the H2, leaving orthohydrogen and oxygen behind - unless you are using ferrous electrodes which introduces a whole other variable to a hydrogen system, by catalyzing to parahydrogen which of course give less bang.
3) Multiple resources I found as early as January of this year name
platinum as the best electrode because it is a non-wearable catalyst in the system. In other words if you use platinum or another of those
closely related precious metals (break out that periodic chart boys and girls!) you don't have to carry around acids or whatever else seems to work. You also don't have to change out the electrodes... you just need to carry around distilled water - no biggie and very safe.
4) Let's go pulse!! I can't wait to try out some of this pulse stuff on the unit I'm running. I don't think the following rendition will do much, but today I crudely setup the feed for my electrolysis reactor in a new way. I found an
8-12V pulsing signal that seems to pulse for most of the elapsed time during each engine revolution. I'm using that pulse to
kick open a relay to feed 13.2 volts to the reactor. Since I already have a base of hydrogen and oxygen flowing via the ultrasonic processor before it gets to the electrolysis reactor I wasn't worried about dead spots, just hoping to tag some high spots. If the relay lasts a few days (I see their duty cycle is expected to be 100,000 switches and it's not loading more than 7 amps - I'm optimistic), I'll probably try putting a
junk yard ignition coil and resistor in place next to raise the voltage to about 11,000v as it is fed in pulses from the relay.
My hypothesis is that I will be able to feel extra torque and thus fuel efficiency at particular RPMs and know by my tach exactly what frequencies I want to ultimately create electronically.
In other words if I've found a sweet spot, then after a moment of cruising at that sweet spot, I should have to back off of the throttle in order to not run over it. Dividing the "whispered" number by 2 a few more times for the lower frequency octaves I get the following guesses for sweet spot RPMs: 5350, 2675, 1337.5, 668.75. In the '88 300Z I'm thinking that 1337.5 will be my most easily tested hypothetical. Once this frequency is confirmed and created consistently I would think that a multistrike ignition system would probably be the right animal to create the other frequency within the pulses - you have to forgive my "off the shelf" mentality although it does make it easy to argue away patent defenders.
Hopefully this whole pulse electrolysis thing will get me past the 60-61% MPG increase ceiling that I've been at for a while with all of my aquatune enabled vehicles. Here's a link if you are curious:
5) Finally, does anyone have any suggestions on setting up my own
pulse measurement tool? Are there multimeters out there that give you the frequency of an AC signal which would suffice for this? Really though, we need to know the duration of the up and downtime as they won't likely be equivalent. And then, of course there's the pulses within pulses deal... Is there such a thing as a
cheap oscilloscope?
Onward,
Joseph
