Re: T. Boone Pickens Explains the Water Spark Plug

[fuelban]

Really fantastic video guy, I love it when things "Spark" my imagination, {Excuse the Pun}, but you really made it comprehensible, always a good sign of someone who knows there stuff, thanks. cool stuff guy.

It's amazing all this bullshit to attain spark when the Briggs engine requires a magnet passing by the coil for spark. Two parts. No batteries. These Nerds are going back to the model 'T' Ford days and don't even know it. Way too much time on their hands! I'm always leery of men who use an initial for a first name (possible slip-showing) C'mon, guys! Dump all this garbage. It's not needed to attain spark! Hook up w/Golfcartractor. Between you all you can really "invent" something stupid(ier)

[energeticforum]

@47485ksc it doesn't take much common sense to realize that this is simply a TEST. If you can't comprehend my comments below, it is better not to reveal the fact that you are completely clueless and are out of your league. You don't even know what the point of all of this even is! Initial for a first name? I spelled out my name in my post below but since you missed that, it is evidence you are simply causing trouble and have no intention to actually read anything.

[energeticforum]

And leery of people using initials? You don't have the courage to put your name to anything you are posting so obviously this speaks for itself. I'm not the one hiding, you are.

[energeticforum]

For those commenting on the extension cord, please use your common sense if you can. it is called a TEST! The whole thing can be run from a battery powering an off-the-shelf CDI unit and with the diodes placed in the proper place, can give you the plasma. The timing is delayed a bit towards TDC and the jet is turned all the way in and we can get full power on simply the idle jet - meaning at full power it is practically running on fumes.

[energeticforum]

From the comments, it is obvious there is lack of understanding about plasma jet ignitions so go do your research! They can dramatically extend the lean burn limit of any ICE and this plasma instantly dissociates water on contact meaning it doesn't have to be dissociated by electrolysis first! This ignition does not take any more power to run than a CDI, which isn't much and the gains are phenomenal. Anyone that didn't do the experiments should keep comments to themselves.

[energeticforum]

This method creates a negative resistance effect where the impedance the capacitor sees upon discharge is completely removed. Take the equivelant cap and scope it then do the same under these conditions and you see that 2/3 of the cap discharge virtually instantaneous - this is where the gain is coming from - the negative resistance - there is not just a power gain in the time domain, there is an effective gain in work done - doesn't matter to me who believes it or not.

[energeticforum]

Check this youtube vid watch?v=p3NE8P0sPS8 that is the lawnmower running on this that is running on fumes with the plasma and it gets full power.

[energeticforum]

As far as the relay goes, arcing is irrelevant as it is only a proof of concept and simple way to LEARN the method as someone correctly observed. In real application, you won't use a relay, yu use a CDI or MSD modified with the diode - so you can get high speed and it looks like this youtube video: watch?v=gqfY-SKCSoU (mosfet triggered msd) the relay is good for simple bench test LEARNING to study the effect and see the relationship between the effect & different capacitor sizes

[energeticforum]

I (Aaron Murakami) am the creator of this video and inventor of the Energy Efficient Plasma Generation method. This type of plasma has been in existence since the 70's and is known as Plasma Jet Ignition. Jet being a reference to shaping the plasma burst by the geometry of the ignitors. This plasma has always been made using secondary power supplies and I figured out how to do it with a single power supply. I have it all detailed at ignitionsecrets . com.

[72plyfury]

Cool!! Im going to have to try this in an ignition system.

[jeffpicks]

Paul, get a HV oscilloscope probe and an oscilloscope to go with it and take a look at the waveform of the pulse... I think you will quickly see and understand what you've got going on there.

[jbirm420]

so basically you are replicating what an engine would do with the relay, variac, and the rest of your components? Does this mean one would only need the blocking diode on the ignition coil to enable the spark plugs to work with modified injectors that supply hho to the cylinder? I'm just guessing that the rest of the components represent a timed engine and magneto? I apologize if these are ignorant questions. Thx

[ExplosiveAnyThing]

It's a variable auto transformer!

[Farlande4]

Why don't we get some measurement of input power? If we can understand how many watts the input circuit is drawing we can compare against the thermo joules being released by the water.... I suspect unfortunately you will find you are losing power overall... however this experiment does not factor in the effects of vacuum in the cylinder. Perhaps the water dissociates more easily in a vacuum?

[magnetman777]

Go my channel magnetman777 and see how it is done professionally. My unit works in a real car.

Its microcontroller operated with all kinds of safety features. The spark power can be controlled to

Go from a Normal spark to monster spark and all levels in between. Franchises available in every state.

[fingerspies]

Could you crank the power right up and put a 2mile gap between the electrodes and by making sure there was several old peoples homes in between the electrodes it should be possible to vaporize atleast 2000 old biddies per day!! that will help the economy pick up a bit sooner!! anyway have you ever had the misfortune of having a hole in your teapot the size of 3! yes 3 boggles!!! its very annoying...

[th3dig1tal0n3]

to palux166:

I'm looking at general schematics at 8:27

There is a way to achieve strong high voltage spark without high voltage diode. The circuit must look like car ignition system. To achieve that you'll need two high voltage capacitors rated for high discharge currents connected across relay contact on primary side.

I have no idea how it will affect plasma, but it will give even, strong and reliable spark.

That modification will prevent arching on relay contacts.

[JoelThedude4u]

its a proof of concept morons, he's explaining how it works, its his prototype for him to experiment and get ti to work, then he'll make a car version very small. Have you ever heard of an inverter? Nasa released it last week, amazing device makes 120V AC from your car battery that can power everything.

[sirmikeydotcom]

Great video, and thanks. If you want more views, exposure, please modify the title of this video to include "water sparkplug". Pickens belongs in the keywords (tags), not the title. I rate this video a 5, tops, and I will email you some info on an 60KV coil I found on energeticforums.

[fingerspies]

no thanks keep your nose out!!

[crazy650c]

Might help if you explain just what this do-hickey is at the start of the video and what it might be useful for. big deal you can spark a plug with a battery and AC current. What? I'm going to need an extension cord for my car?

Doofus.

[MattBlytheTheOne]

I tend to agree, havn't we invented the spark plug already? Its running off a mains variac, and producing a greater spark when you add water...

Stanley Meyers "spark plug" actually split the excited H2O molecules in the chamber.

It doesn't look like plasma? You are creating an HT arc that even jumps right off the plug and on to the wet paper... Why is this important?

[MattBlytheTheOne]

If I told you you could produce the same effect with a 1.5v AAA battery then you would be impressed right?
