You know yourself that project costs can be very expensive/prohibitive,
but that forces us to become even more creative, and that can be a
good thing, because free energy should be free, or at least very
cheap!
On the subject of electrolizers and/or Joe Cells, let me throw out a
suggestion. Bob, Chris et al have used ss plate for their lyzers and
the cost of metals are going nowhere but up. I've not tried it myself
but i know a person can buy graphite paint. Some of these paints are
made as a lubricant on things like heavy shovels & plows. You could
paint plastic panels or even sealed particle board and see how it works.
Will it sacrifice itself as CO2 with the hydroxy bubbles? Possibly. But it's
a cheap experiment to try. You could probably buy a gallon of paint for
less than $50. US. Over here you can buy a lb. of powdered graphite
for $12. US (retail) from a hardware store. I've thought about making my
own graphite paint by adding powdered graphite to a resin binder. It's
also not a half-bad, lead-free, cold solder material.
If you want to try painting concentric pieces of PVC you'd have a poor
man's Joe Cell. Will the electrostatic lines of force cause the PVC to
turn to putty over time? Possibly, but again no risk trying. Hint: I would
dip the pipes and then sand the paint off both ends so there's no
conduction from outer to inner surfaces.
Someone said that Joe Cells in plastic containers, or made from plastic(?)
tend to "pollute." I don't know what that means, or how it could be true,
have no experience. It's an 'orgone accumulator' and Reich claimed, can
have strange, unexpected effects. The static lines tend to get and
concentrate the properties of the material it passes through or reaches,
possible tool for terrorists, so be careful. There's a reason why the feds
threw Reich into prison (where he died) and burned 2 tons of his notes.
For experimental purposes, at least in the beginning, I would go with the
cheapest possible materials that will hold tolerances and handle the wear
and tear. After all, who wants to go broke and become a stockpile of
materials for designs you hope to improve upon someday! Besides,
using cheap materials makes your product disposable, (you mean,
like toilet paper?) and throw-away stuff that wears out is big business!
Means you'll sell more product, heck maybe even a bank would finance
you; such is the world (sic).
