Capacitor Discharge water cracking

[Texmurphy51]

And this proves what??

[pinkbum1]

Maybe this is how Stan Meyer water injector worked, if it worked at all.

The question is does it take less energy to break down water through this method than old faraday electrolysis?

[BudsMoKing]

a what transformer?

[m3sca1]

microwave oven transformer

[rjdawsoniii]

So is this like a replication of ball lightning in theory?

[m3sca1]

no-this is dilectric failure,water being the dilectric.

ball lighting requires carbon,and also the discharge needs to take on the shape of the sphere and last longer than the input power.

Add my kml wire and tell me what happens :) please post reults so I know ok... click on my name to find the video k.

Are you producing free hydrogen and oxygen or is it reacting back to water with the heat of the arc. I think this needs to be done without an arc. Perhaps with a tesla coil using the water as the capacitor and another water capacitor on the high voltage side. This way the water is exposed to both high voltage and high frequency. I do not see how this can yield anything over unity unless you lose some mass in the process, as in a nuclear reaction. Noble fuse is doing something similar.

i have seen HF from a Tesla coil in attempt to crack water-didnt do much-dont remember who tho...

this requires DC and big caps.

there is quite a bit of energy required to charge them,and no claim to OU here.

my thinking is this approach would have more worth as a fuel,than using electrolyser cells.

i dont know if its releasing gas,or burning it as its made,and returning back to water.

it was pure distilled water so think dilectric failure,not electrolysis.

GUY I JUST WATCHED 5 VIDEOS THAT CAUGHT MY IMAJINATION AND THERE ALL YOURS MESCAL, lol, COOL DUDE.

THOM SCOTLAND.

[m3sca1]

lol-no worries mate

thats what im here for-

[NOBOX7]

your the shit homes

thats a complement here in Babylon i meen USA ya im a fkn american... what can you do

[skierplaterandy]

i thought demineralised water cant conduct electricity... how does this work?

[m3sca1]

now you see why im using the trigger for the short pulses?

this is precisely what meyer talked about,the process is opposite to electrolysis.

reduce the current to a minimum and let the voltage do the work.

its not about amps and conductivity,its about short pulses that excite the water molecule til it comes apart.

[nfexp]

no fusion? :)

[fdoca]

Hello , what you use rectify to DC? thanks

[m3sca1]

4 microwave oven diodes-see them in my vid...

High Voltage DC Experiments

sorry i missed your question-seems it didnt appear in my inbox,else i would have answered earlier.

[esterbrickle]

Sort of a Marx generator with the water cell as the spark gap. Nice!

[BenHutchinson1]

What is "water cracking"? Is this like electrolysis?

[m3sca1]

its the dielectric breakdown of a capacitor.

the water being the dielectric.

[dreamyear]

great work....can you tell us volts and amps used? that's huge spark

[m3sca1]

i dont have a meter to measure this that wont blow up-so im only guessing.

most MOT's put out about 2kV at the secondary.

its full wave rectified,so im gonna say

~1kV DC from the supply,before the capacitor.

only thing limiting the current is a 20 amp fuse,so when i say it dims the lights in the shed,you know we are talking big amps.

this is why im working on similar from a 12 volt battery,stepped to 20-40kV then rectifiy and put in capacitor.

with adjustable frequency off the circuit

[BenHutchinson1]

And even if it charges at 20 amps, the discharge is SO fast that the output current is in the HUNDREDS of amps.

[shimoda18]

crazy, loved it.

[m3sca1]

thanx =]

[potroastmaster]

may i ask at what voltage was your high voltage set to? you may message me off this page for secure reasons if you would like,

thanks, Jeff.

[metalminded]

i dont know about what spark gaps do but i like the bright flashes!!

a friend who has made several cells talks about spark gaps that only allow current to flow one direction all the time, and that he thinks its important.

[m3sca1]

sounds like he is talking about a diode.

man the energy in those bright flashes...

...watch it pull the bottom electrode into the cell with each implosion...
