I'm pretty sure all you did was produce plasma just like the toothpick method but you do tread on interesting ideas. I'm not sure if you would have heard about it and I don't recall his name but there was a guy in Pennsylvania who discovered that you can break the hydrogen bond in salt water using if I'm not mistake 1.36Ghz at around 300 watts. I believe an electron on the sodium atom of the salt (NaCl presumably) was responsible for the splitting.
@BigBananaMan Now the idea that you could get more energy out than you put in and use this as a "fuel" source (not to be confused with energy storage medium) is not logical because it would violate the first and possibly second law of thermodynamics I.E. its a perpetual motion machine. I'm not saying it couldn't happen through the use of other theory like E=MC² or something else but for current knowledge they are electrochemical and a chemical processes as theory.
That's total bullshit. You know why it looks like it's burning, frickin metal in the microwave!! Put a metal fork in the microwave, it will do the same thing.
That was a burning match or toothpick. Scientist today don't have the techonolgy or doesn't even know if you can split water to hydrogen and oxygen.
@johannesfastful all you have to do to split water is have 2 graphite leads hooked to 9V batteries and put the graphite in the water, its called electrolysis, look it up

Just wanted to let you know that the crop circles agree with your findings and also reveal that as the water burns it condenses back to water ready to be burnt again and Yes they use the Earthly electronic symbol for Magnetron in the crop circles and the proper size proportions of Hydrogen & Oxygen atoms in the pattern too.
Hundreds of circles are formed each year - none make the news.
Arrived here following some old but extremely insightful comments you posted on a friends free energy video.
It takes just as much energy if not more to destabilize the H2O molecule as is released when the H and O recombine. No such thing as free energy except for what the Sun gives us.
This works fine without water. In fact, charred toothpicks stuck into a burning candle were the very first reliable "plasma generator" for microwave fun, discovered by hobbyists on the vortex-L forum in early 1997. Later JLN Labs found that graphite rods from mechanical pencils work even better. And Matt Crowley sez, try nuking "carbon veil" from a fiberglas supply store.
For more legit info, search on "inductively coupled plasma." Industrially they typically use argon rather than water vapor, since you can achieve 20,000K temperatures because nobel gas doesn't waste energy by disassociation as with steam.
Idea: poke a half-inch hole in the top of a microwave, run a ceramic tube through, then make a stablized plasma in the tube. You'll have your own ion engine! Or maybe blow in some metal powder or ceramic powder to create a plasma flame-spraying tool.
Therefore, it is technically impossible to produce a perfectly square or rectangular object. This is simply due to the fact that the electron orbital follows curved path, and skin voltages associated to ionic potentials and the quantum barrier are also curved. Therefore, there are such things as squares and rectangles but, not without beveled edges in real world objects. In the same sense, there is no such thing as a perfectly sharp edge at the nanometer scale.
while its true that you cannot produce a perfectly square or rectangular object, its not because the orbitals are curved. electrons are singularities, and while the associated probability maps do tend to have some curved surfaces, the electron is not orbiting the nucleus in a classical sense
The electron's field/charge and energy level is always first and foremost of any surface. If you look at a surface closely enough, electrons constantly migrate over it. Overall, the quantum barrier has everything to do with a surface, and it is associated to the charge of the object. Still, it is an electrostatic field, positive or negative, and all in all, that is the only real surface, which is in fact curved.
well if you sprinkle water onto a gas stovetop, you can se the water "burn" My grandfather put a tube into our gas heater and put water into the flames, so we burn water to heat (just help out gas of course) If somebody knows how it is possible i would appreciate if he/she could explain it to me, otherwise it works!!!
Yea, I spent more than 2 hours, trying to get water into a vapor state and ignite it. There are plenty of duds with the steam under the jar. But, when you finally have steam and fire, bright flash.
Actually, I've seen a xenon flash tube circuit used on water. It follows some cool rules concerning plasmas. The high voltage triggers a high current through the water producing quite an explosion. That would make a good water powered car.
As good as it sounds, I think there must be something you've not taken into account. Because you CAN'T get more energy out of a system than you have in a system. So by definition Over Unity is COMPLETELY IMPOSIBLE. No matter WHAT you do in an attempt to achieve over unity, there are already scientific laws that make it impossible. Asking for over unity is like saying 1+1=3. As everyone knows, 1+1=2, NOT 3. Science is about math, and without magic (supernatural powers) you can't beat nature.
1 Watt used to convert H2O to approximately 1 Watt of hydrogen which stores nearly 1 Watt. If heat is the catalyst and you directly burn that hydrogen, 1 Watt of heat in gives you 2 Watts of heat out. It was never stored. The last reference link (More Info) shows you that heat can be a catalyst and the water molecule can't hold up to 2800°C but will burn at that temperature and can burn as hot as 4000°C. It's a balance of pressure and plasma density that allows for burn & reburn
And what you stated is where the mistake is that most believers in this make.
What ACTUALLY happens is 1 Watt of electricity for electrolosys makes 0.5 watts of hydrogen and 0.5 watts of oxygen. When hydrogen burns it combines with the oxygen and gives you 1 watt of heat.
This is JUST as it should be, because the energy into a system MUST equal the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE energy out of the system. So the energy out does NOT exceed the input. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
In that statement I just made and the math I showed, I just PROVED to you how thermodynamics DOES effect it, and exactly how it does so, and that is why your statement is WRONG.
The ONLY way one can believe wrong math is if they don't believe real science, but instead to believe in the supernatural. And claiming perpetual motion (as I've already stated, and have shown to be so) could ONLY be achieved with magic (a.k.a the supernatural) because it is PHYSICALLY impossible.
You did not. Heat is the catalyst. The H2O molecule falls apart at 2800°C from too much heat. If that's 2800 Watts to heat the water vapor to 2800°C, then when the Hydrogen mixes with the Oxygen I get exactly what I put into it right back out of it, without cooling it off, that's 5600 Watts of heat. If the Pressure is kept high enough there's a dynamo effect. The H2O molecule reforms during the burn, exothermic and the heat breaks it apart again cyclically.
A good example is the Sun's Fission and Fusion Process being a product of gravity, or the Earth's magnetic field being the result of the molten core. Allot of energy is produced by the circumstances.
Google 'Coal Fires' I know that you would assume that if there were no air, a fire couldn't burn.  Yet, in America and China there are fires burning underground and a few of those more than a 100 years. Water really does decompose if the temperature is high enough to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
It's called the Dynamo Effect in Plasma Physics. This text box doesn't allow me to post links to reference material. For Water it starts at a pressure of 32 Atmospheres, and a temperature of 2800°C. Water will convert to hydrogen and oxygen, and burn over and over again and again and again. If the pressure is not relieved, it will continue to pruduce heat without any additional fuel or energy. The problem is materials and a peak temperature of 10,000°C
The people who make microwaves probably biting their teeth down shaking their head saying "how stupid you guys are" . We made you overunity device for years and you don't even know it. Of course they have signed the contract not to speak.
Since using plasmolysis has been prove equally effective watt per watt to convert water vapor to hydrogen, it really is an Over Unity Device. But, that is only true when your aim is to burn that hydrogen for only one purpose, to generate heat. Then and only then can you see with Watts in comparing the Heat Output actually see an Over Unity Product. But, then you are converting Water Vapor to Hydrogen and Oxygen then burning it in that same instant. Check references at the 'more info' link.
Ok, so you using modern rule to prove overunity. In my opinion it's like proving 1+1= 2 using what we tought. You do not use any energy to create electromagnetic waves. People think EM waves comes from flucting the magnetic field. I don't think so, EM waves comes from flucting the voltage. You can fluct voltage without current and still generate EM waves. So without current, there's no Lenz's law, no load work. 0 energy input!(assuming frictionless, no air resistance)
Watt per watt, when you use electrolysis, is around 80% to 94%. That means, when you burn the hydrogen, you get 94 Watts out of 100. Your household microwave oven is about 67% effecient. But, when you add 67 to 80, that's a 147%. The water molecule will breakdown into hydrogen and oxygen at a temperature of 3227ºC, and the plasma temperature is actually around 8000ºC. This means that the water can burn several times before escaping. So, it's still over 147%
Well, that's what it takes for coils to magnetize that fast. The ideal frequency for the water molecule is just slightly over 108Ghz. That is the natural resonant frequency of the water molecule, that's where it take the least amount of energy to see the water molecule absorb the most amount of energy. It's molecular impedance matching. So, a gyrotron would work much better than a magnetron, in theory.
It's funny, I've been reading Scientific American, been to college, and studied in the libraries for years. Well, to disappoint the lot of you nay sayers, A Russian Plasma Physicist, designed and built a plasma torch, that makes steam and burns it. 1500 watts does the same amount of works as a 16,000 watts all electric design. They haven't been able to produce them as quick as they sell, and the company is actually in back order.
So, in the handle, he crossed up an esspresso machine used to steam milk, and a microwave oven, to where all it really burns is tap water. It doesn't require any fuel. Everyone who uses a plasma torch wants one because, they don't need expensive fuel, and preforms like a system that uses 16,000 watts, except it is portable, and you can plug it in anywhere.
That's just says, that on an existing power grid you could start a system that uses 1 megawatt and produces 15 megawatts. Initially, it yeilds 16 but, uses 1 to keep running.
When you look at a coal fired plant. They have a start up procedure, and it takes time for the boilers to reach the right temperature, and keep running. At that point, you would be running the burners under a boiler tank for potentially several hours before the turbines could actually start turning and generating power. It's not impossible. You sould look at your wallet and give that Russian one of the billion dollar bills you've got to build one.
Water has a gaseous state. Just because, you can't see a drop doesn't mean I didn't make absolutely sure that there wasn't anything else in that jar. Steam is a vapor state, and if pressure is low enough and temperature high enough, there's no condensation on the glass, and there wouldn't be. I preheated the jar. I boiled the water. It's all time management. I'm not only quick about moving things around that microwave because I want the water gas in there but because it's hot.
Until you have your hands on some of these experiments, you can't really judge. But, if you buy a hand vacuum pump, maybe you can figure out a way to do it yourself. you can use a 6cm diameter disk and place a 3cm long pencil lead in the center of the disk, and make a quarter wave antenna that will convert microwaves into plasma. With the vacuum chamber, water and some time thinking, you can blow up your own microwave.
If you use a bottle cap full of water, and a mason jar. All you do is preheat the water until the steam is forcing it's way out from under the mason jar. Then wrap a 2 cm long piece of wire very fine wire from a speaker coil around a match. Once it's all preheated. Place the match under the mason jar within 2 seconds being sure that it doesn't get wet. Click the microwave on high.
I'd love to see that. I was getting ready to use a vacuum and refilling up to 5 inches of mercury with water. You wouldn't see any vapor, just a change in pressure as the water evaporated from a second container. I read about constructing a quarter wave microwave antenna for igniting plasmas in microwaves, and they do work well. 6cm disk of copper, 3cm section of graphite from a pencil lead. Be careful, it'll explode. Water does burn. That sounds like a 1250 Watt Magnetron.
good job! video! my names Mia, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ PLAY-CAM...dot...COM __ my user ID there is Mia_aiayt chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
now who can show everyone an engine running with a magnetron in place of a spark plug running on water. google magnetron engine or something like that.
I never denied that, and never explained it differently. But, the brightness of the event is really caused by the steam. I've done experiment several times. Boil the water under the jar first, and try to keep a match lit. After about 10 or 20 tries, I'm pretty you'll get water to burn once.
Moreover, I've studied the schematics of many different makes and models of microwave ovens, and they have sensor circuit built into them to prevent plasma based fires. Basically, it's a current sensing circuit and a current limiting circuit. When you have a plasma in your microwave and it buzzes louder, it's because it is drawing more current. It can limit temperature and size of a plasma ball by limiting the power from the power transformer to the magnetron. Almost every maker does that.
At present I'm building a new computer. Running simulations is much cheaper than building anything. Once, you get the nack of a simulator designed for whatever purpose and learn how to fine tune to real world physics and chemistry it's cheaper.
This seems to be the video to argue about... That being said, I would like to say that the title is a little misleading. If the reaction inside the microwave has split the water, you are not burning the "water", you are burning the hydrogen and oxygen that the water has been split into. Thats probably half the reason people argue about this video. It sort of seems like you made it up when it IS plausible.
There is another guy who did it with saltwater and waveguides. It's just that unlike his proof, mine is inside the microwave his is just a vial in the open.
I did. And his answer was simple. "When a superheated object gets supercooled really fast, you risk a steam explosion. But the water isn't exploding, my no. We use the foam because it is room temp, won't cool the fire too fast. Just 'suffocates' it, if you will"
Here is the way it is, I did some serious research. I looked into Tokomaks, and signs of excess heat that was all a product of the presence of water. Water does not exist on the sun, and the sun is not exclusively made of hydrogen and helium. There are environmental reasons that water doesn't exist in certain regions of space. You have to understand that the reasons can be duplicated.
Let's say desiel fuel burns at 3000C°, if I add water and reduce the temperature of the burn to 2000C°, what happens to the water? It burns. The desiel fuel just acts like a heat source and catalyst. The answer is not less, it's more and you need a water carb for the desiel fuel injection system. Act like I'm stupid, and I'll prove you can't prove me wrong.
its a very bad idea to put an container of nothing much but water...it can become super-heated and and bublle violently when moved(ie,it will through bioling hot water around).
Why not just switch the labels on the water and petrol containers? That advice is for free too, no need to search the technical journals.. (hint: the trick is not to tell people you swtched them!) Nobel prize here I come!
Dude, you can make plasma in a microwave. It doesnt mean your kitchen becomes a nuke. The little arc inside an electric lighter creates plasma, as does the spark plug in a combustion engine. Plasma isn't really all that unreal.
puffy sorry i gave you a thumbs up, i meant to thumb you down, Leave the kid alone arshole, He is not here to shill like you are, Or are you who today jan4 08?
Also, it would still be liquid, because water is liquid at room temperature. Hydrogen and Oxygen are gasses at room temperature, so mixing them would make liquid water, right?
plz help me.. if i burn water, where does it goes`? does it evaporate and turn back to its liquid status later? or will it turn in somethin completly different (like i burn wood wich becomes ash?)? BTW the musik in this vid makin me crazy, where did u find such a annoying sound????
Simple science people. it does work. and whats with all the badmouthing of America. We are not as dumb as people would lead you to believe. Don't judge us by George W. Bush's IQ. really folks. I mean every vid I go to, some prick is saying stupid Americans or dumb America. It's rather insulting. and anyways how could you judge an entire country by a few people. Thats the most idiotic thing I've ever heard of. People love to hate our country. But it's all good. Every country has its douchebags
You need to examine what is occurring here more closely. Neither splitting of water into H2 an O, nor converting it into HHO (Brown's Gas) by use of resonant microwave electromagnetic radiation is a violation of any thermodynamic law. Anyone "in the biz" should know that without question.
Perhaps a quick paging through a physical chemistry book would give a sufficient brushup. Also, a google on Brown's Gas or HHO gas may be enlightening.
You stupid twit! You're obviously unaware of Avogadro's Law - Equal volumes of gases under the same conditions contain the same no. of molecules. 2L of H2 + 1L of O2 gives 2L of H2O as WATER VAPOUR, not 3 Liters! If you express the water volume as a liquid, then it's about 1.8 mL. Back to school.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
avogadros law states that at STP 24L of any substance will contain the exact amount of moles.you are obviously the stupid twit because Oxygen is a full quanta larger than Hydrogen and one Mole of hydrogen is 1/8 that same mole of oxygen. Look at the periodic table....dont you love the intelligence of a 16 year old
The resonant cavity of the final Meyer water fuel cell was a magnetron with a few plates inside. Photos are floating abound the web - US 4265721
magnetrons have ceramic insulators with a bit of beryllium oxide (beryllia) added—these ceramics often appear somewhat pink or purple-colored and are deadly poison.
you put in a microwave an upside down jam jar with no lid (and claim there is water in it - there is no water in it because it is upside down with no lid.
You say in your instructions, to put a piece of wire in, yet in your comments you say there is no wire.
In the video, at the end of the sparking you can see a dying glow from a burnt bit of wire.
You appear to have said that you put wire into a microwave, and then you are amazed that you got a few sparks? If you put metal into a microwave, I got news for you, you get big sparks.
You mean microwave oven? Wrong frequency. for clean water, I believe the frequency is 42.8 kHz or 42742.2 Hz to be exact. You'll need a frequency generator to get that, and I haven't tested it personally. I'm still looking for a frequency generator I can afford. They are $150 bucks! That is a lot to me, but worth it if it works. You can reduce the amerage needed with neutral plates or tubes between electrodes. I don't know the frequency for salt water.
What about a transformer from a florecent light with somekind of voltage regulator? Is this guy just showing somekind of science fair project or does it relate to Hydrogen fuel?
He could be blowing propane through that water for all I know, but a lot of hydrogen gas can be generated with a 12 volt current oscillated at 42742.2 Hz from a stainless steel tube or bolt inside a stainless steel tube in clean water. It looks like this without the light show. I don't know if a flourescent light ballast would work or not. 12 volts at 42.8 kHz will generate huge amounts of HHO gas. Maybe he ignited this under water in this video.
My mistake. I thought this was a different video on cold fusion that looks great.  This video is silly. This just looks like a wire under a jar in a microwave to me.
Yes, you're right, water can be superheated beyond 100C, if it is contained. Whoever gave you a "thumbs down" might have flunked out on their basic physics.
the problem with this is how much energy is really being used by the microwave and how much energy is put off by that small amount of hydrogen burned?
It isn't foil, it's the wire listed in step 4 as the ignition device. Interestingly enough, you can produce a similar effect with just a burning toothpick, no water needed. It forms a plasmoid. I think that is what you have here in fact, just a very unstable one.
trust me its not foil. microwaves work by boiling all the water in food which then cooks it. the ccup of water is an extreme comcentration of water therefore it actually produces a sparking fire. you try it but be ready for your microwave to explode!
Star Wars called....they want there intro back! To much time on the introduction and too short and too poor quality video on the experiment. Just some expert advice.
DITTO, for me, but replacing "expert" with amatuer and non-speed reader (missed half the intro). There is a true phenomenon that water can be "super heated" in a mircowave (if it doesn't get triggered to boil it can overheat and then if your hand lifting the cup percipitates the boiling action...it can have a mildly "explosive" boil and BURN your hand :-O
you know where the energy of burning things comes from? bond energy. If co2 and no2 have more bond energy and are harder to breakdown than dynamite than dynamite will decompose into the two on its own
water has more bond energy (as a liq) than steam and less stored energy with equal potential energy.
I don't really get it, but it looked cool, I hope the microwave didn't get ruined, I love microwaves. Try putting in hotdogs or filling it with marshmallows! Also, check out crosswalk man, only on youtube!
1. Energy is sufficient to start H20 + Oxygen reaction (H202 is produced, more commonly known as Hydrogen Peroxide). Water vapour is NOT produced: therefore this is an exothermic reaction.
2. Environmental catalyst is allowing for the reaction to begin/continue.
3. Both of the above.
4. The wire used in the experiment is making plasma in the microwave, nothing happens to the water (it may use the energy produced by the plasma to evapourate).
Wait a sec! Let's think about this! How can water burn? First, what is burning? Combustion is a chemical reaction where the threshold energy is reached to enable the reaction of a material with oxygen in the air. The material burns because the bonds of the element(s) in the material are not stable at that temperature, but the bonds with oxygen are. So water doesn't exactly burn because it would be the exact same set of bonds. Look: 2H2O+O2+energy=2H2O+O2+energy.
Although the first energy would be the microwave energy, while the second would be heat, so it would create heat, but not energy. So really this guy has found a way to turn the microwave energy into heat. If you remember the law of conservation of energy, you'll realize that, because the guy starts out with water, and ends with water vapor, and it requires energy to turn liquid to gas, then there is no way he could get energy out of the reaction.
Energy is never created, it is released, or changed to a different form, or matter is transformed into energy. Burning say...wood produces energy because the energy stored in the chemical bonds is released and new chemical bonds are formed, which don't hold as much energy. But because these are the same bonds, no energy is released. But it still looks really cool!=)
I just realized, that phrasing was confusing. Let me restate that. Energy IS released, but its the same amount of energy you put in in the first place, except now its heat and light, as opposed to microwaves.
And actually, since visible light and microwaves are both forms of elctro magnetic radiation and microwaves are a higher energy form of electromagnetic radiation, really you just took some of the energy from the electromagnetic radiation and turned it into heat.
but doesn't the experiment (from standpoint of your observations) convert unharvested energy (light and microwaves) to an easier energy to harvest (heat): placing some use and benefit to this experiment?
unless i'm misunderstood you are am misinformed, in which please correct me.
You overlook the fact that it is happening in the opposite direction you suggest. He is taking the energy "harvested" at a power plant, which is then turned into electricity, moved through power lines and USED TO POWER THE MICROWAVE and using it to make some water into steam and some light. Its like a really inefficient incadescent lightbulb. He takes usable electricty and uses it to do exactly what a microwave is designed to do: make things hot. He uses energy, doesn't create it.
yes you use the fire in the power station to heat up a tank of water which turns into steam then it turns the turbine which spins a magnet in a drum with lots of coiled wire to create the current which is transported to a transformer which makes the voltage from 400V-40000V then it goes to peoples houses etc.
I'm pretty sure all you did was produce plasma just like the toothpick method but you do tread on interesting ideas. I'm not sure if you would have heard about it and I don't recall his name but there was a guy in Pennsylvania who discovered that you can break the hydrogen bond in salt water using if I'm not mistake 1.36Ghz at around 300 watts.

Yea, I spent more than 2 hours, trying to get water into a vapor state and ignite it. There are plenty of duds with the steam under the jar. But, when you finally have steam and fire, bright flash.

Actually, I've seen a xenon flash tube circuit used on water. It follows some cool rules concerning plasmas. The high voltage triggers a high current through the water producing quite an explosion. That would make a good water powered car.

As good as it sounds, I think there must be something you've not taken into account. Because you CAN'T get more energy out of a system than you have in a system. So by definition Over Unity is COMPLETELY IMPOSIBLE. No matter WHAT you do in an attempt to achieve over unity, there are already scientific laws that make it impossible. Asking for over unity is like saying 1+1=3. As everyone knows, 1+1=2, NOT 3. Science is about math, and without magic (supernatural powers) you can't beat nature.

1 Watt used to convert H2O to approximately 1 Watt of hydrogen which stores nearly 1 Watt. If heat is the catalyst and you directly burn that hydrogen, 1 Watt of heat in gives you 2 Watts of heat out. It was never stored. The last reference link (More Info) shows you that heat can be a catalyst and the water molecule can't hold up to 2800°C but will burn at that temperature and can burn as hot as 4000°C. It's a balance of pressure and plasma density that allows for burn & reburn
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
And what you stated is where the mistake is that most believers in this make.
What ACTUALLY happens is 1 Watt of electricity for electrolosys makes 0.5 watts of hydrogen and 0.5 watts of oxygen. When hydrogen burns it combines with the oxygen and gives you 1 watt of heat.
This is JUST as it should be, because the energy into a system MUST equal the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE energy out of the system. So the energy out does NOT exceed the input. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
BenHutchinson1 3 years ago
In that statement I just made and the math I showed, I just PROVED to you how thermodynamics DOES effect it, and exactly how it does so, and that is why your statement is WRONG.
The ONLY way one can believe wrong math is if they don't believe real science, but instead to believe in the supernatural. And claiming perpetual motion (as I've already stated, and have shown to be so) could ONLY be achieved with magic (a.k.a the supernatural) because it is PHYSICALLY impossible.
BenHutchinson1 3 years ago
You did not. Heat is the catalyst. The H2O molecule falls apart at 2800°C from too much heat. If that's 2800 Watts to heat the water vapor to 2800°C, then when the Hydrogen mixes with the Oxygen I get exactly what I put into it right back out of it, without cooling it off, that's 5600 Watts of heat. If the Pressure is kept high enough there's a dynamo effect. The H2O molecule reforms during the burn, exothermic and the heat breaks it apart again cyclically.
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
What do you mean by a dynamo effect? I thought dynamos were electric generators.
BenHutchinson1 3 years ago
A good example is the Sun's Fission and Fusion Process being a product of gravity, or the Earth's magnetic field being the result of the molten core. Allot of energy is produced by the circumstances.

Google 'Coal Fires' I know that you would assume that if there were no air, a fire couldn't burn.  Yet, in America and China there are fires burning underground and a few of those more than a 100 years. Water really does decompose if the temperature is high enough to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
It's called the Dynamo Effect in Plasma Physics. This text box doesn't allow me to post links to reference material. For Water it starts at a pressure of 32 Atmospheres, and a temperature of 2800°C. Water will convert to hydrogen and oxygen, and burn over and over again and again and again. If the pressure is not relieved, it will continue to pruduce heat without any additional fuel or energy. The problem is materials and a peak temperature of 10,000°C

The people who make microwaves probably biting their teeth down shaking their head saying "how stupid you guys are" . We made you overunity device for years and you don't even know it. Of course they have signed the contract not to speak.
vietarc 3 years ago
Since using plasmolysis has been prove equally effective watt per watt to convert water vapor to hydrogen, it really is an Over Unity Device. But, that is only true when your aim is to burn that hydrogen for only one purpose, to generate heat. Then and only then can you see with Watts in comparing the Heat Output actually see an Over Unity Product. But, then you are converting Water Vapor to Hydrogen and Oxygen then burning it in that same instant. Check references at the 'more info' link.
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
Ok, so you using modern rule to prove overunity. In my opinion it's like proving 1+1= 2 using what we tought. You do not use any energy to create electromagnetic waves. People think EM waves comes from flucting the magnetic field. I don't think so, EM waves comes from flucting the voltage. You can fluct voltage without current and still generate EM waves. So without current, there's no Lenz's law, no load work. 0 energy input!(assuming frictionless, no air resistance)
vietarc 3 years ago
Watt per watt, when you use electrolysis, is around 80% to 94%. That means, when you burn the hydrogen, you get 94 Watts out of 100. Your household microwave oven is about 67% effecient. But, when you add 67 to 80, that's a 147%. The water molecule will breakdown into hydrogen and oxygen at a temperature of 3227ºC, and the plasma temperature is actually around 8000ºC. This means that the water can burn several times before escaping. So, it's still over 147%
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
correction, "people think EM wave genererate by fluctuating current".
vietarc 3 years ago
Well, that's what it takes for coils to magnetize that fast. The ideal frequency for the water molecule is just slightly over 108Ghz. That is the natural resonant frequency of the water molecule, that's where it take the least amount of energy to see the water molecule absorb the most amount of energy. It's molecular impedance matching. So, a gyrotron would work much better than a magnetron, in theory.

So, in the handle, he crossed up an esspresso machine used to steam milk, and a microwave oven, to where all it really burns is tap water. It doesn't require any fuel.

When you look at a coal fired plant. They have a start up procedure, and it takes time for the boilers to reach the right temperature, and keep running. At that point, you would be running the burners under a boiler tank for potentially several hours before the turbines could actually start turning and generating power. It's not impossible.

Water has a gaseous state. Just because, you can't see a drop doesn't mean I didn't make absolutely sure that there wasn't anything else in that jar. Steam is a vapor state, and if pressure is low enough and temperature high enough, there's no condensation on the glass, and there wouldn't be. I preheated the jar. I boiled the water. It's all time management. I'm not only quick about moving things around that microwave because I want the water gas in there but because it's hot.

Until you have your hands on some of these experiments, you can't really judge. But, if you buy a hand vacuum pump, maybe you can figure out a way to do it yourself. you can use a 6cm diameter disk and place a 3cm long pencil lead in the center of the disk, and make a quarter wave antenna that will convert microwaves into plasma. With the vacuum chamber, water and some time thinking, you can blow up your own microwave.

If you use a bottle cap full of water, and a mason jar. All you do is preheat the water until the steam is forcing it's way out from under the mason jar. Then wrap a 2 cm long piece of wire very fine wire from a speaker coil around a match. Once it's all preheated. Place the match under the mason jar within 2 seconds being sure that it doesn't get wet. Click the microwave on high.

I'd love to see that. I was getting ready to use a vacuum and refilling up to 5 inches of mercury with water.

I read about constructing a quarter wave microwave antenna for igniting plasmas in microwaves, and they do work well. 6cm disk of copper, 3cm section of graphite from a pencil lead. Be careful, it'll explode. Water does burn. That sounds like a 1250 Watt Magnetron.

I never denied that, and never explained it differently. But, the brightness of the event is really caused by the steam. I've done experiment several times. Boil the water under the jar first, and try to keep a match lit. After about 10 or 20 tries, I'm pretty you'll get water to burn once.
FlavoredCoffeeGuy 3 years ago
Moreover, I've studied the schematics of many different makes and models of microwave ovens, and they have sensor circuit built into them to prevent plasma based fires. Basically, it's a current sensing circuit and a current limiting circuit. When you have a plasma in your microwave and it buzzes louder, it's because it is drawing more current. It can limit temperature and size of a plasma ball by limiting the power from the power transformer to the magnetron. Almost every maker does that.

This seems to be the video to argue about... That being said, I would like to say that the title is a little misleading. If the reaction inside the microwave has split the water, you are not burning the "water", you are burning the hydrogen and oxygen that the water has been split into. Thats probably half the reason people argue about this video. It sort of seems like you made it up when it IS plausible.

Here is the way it is, I did some serious research. I looked into Tokomaks, and signs of excess heat that was all a product of the presence of water.

Let's say desiel fuel burns at 3000C°, if I add water and reduce the temperature of the burn to 2000C°, what happens to the water? It burns. The desiel fuel just acts like a heat source and catalyst. The answer is not less, it's more and you need a water carb for the desiel fuel injection system. Act like I'm stupid, and I'll prove you can't prove me wrong.

You need to examine what is occurring here more closely. Neither splitting of water into H2 an O, nor converting it into HHO (Brown's Gas) by use of resonant microwave electromagnetic radiation is a violation of any thermodynamic law. Anyone "in the biz" should know that without question.
Perhaps a quick paging through a physical chemistry book would give a sufficient brushup. Also, a google on Brown's Gas or HHO gas may be enlightening.

He's right, he dosen't have to tell you shit about this. The side panel explains all of it (admitadley in quite technical language)

One of four things are happening:
1. Energy is sufficient to start H20 + Oxygen reaction (H202 is produced, more commonly known as Hydrogen Peroxide). Water vapour is NOT produced: therefore this is an exothermic reaction.
2. Environmental catalyst is allowing for the reaction to begin/continue.
3. Both of the above.
4. The wire used in the experiment is making plasma in the microwave, nothing happens to the water (it may use the energy produced by the plasma to evapourate).

Wait a sec! Let's think about this! How can water burn? First, what is burning? Combustion is a chemical reaction where the threshold energy is reached to enable the reaction of a material with oxygen in the air. The material burns because the bonds of the element(s) in the material are not stable at that temperature, but the bonds with oxygen are. So water doesn't exactly burn because it would be the exact same set of bonds. Look: 2H2O+O2+energy=2H2O+O2+energy.

Although the first energy would be the microwave energy, while the second would be heat, so it would create heat, but not energy. So really this guy has found a way to turn the microwave energy into heat. If you remember the law of conservation of energy, you'll realize that, because the guy starts out with water, and ends with water vapor, and it requires energy to turn liquid to gas, then there is no way he could get energy out of the reaction.

Energy is never created, it is released, or changed to a different form, or matter is transformed into energy. Burning say...wood produces energy because the energy stored in the chemical bonds is released and new chemical bonds are formed, which don't hold as much energy. But because these are the same bonds, no energy is released. But it still looks really cool!=)

I just realized, that phrasing was confusing. Let me restate that. Energy IS released, but its the same amount of energy you put in in the first place, except now its heat and light, as opposed to microwaves.

And actually, since visible light and microwaves are both forms of elctro magnetic radiation and microwaves are a higher energy form of electromagnetic radiation, really you just took some of the energy from the electromagnetic radiation and turned it into heat.

But you did actually burn water!!!! It just doesn't create energy.

but doesn't the experiment (from standpoint of your observations) convert unharvested energy (light and microwaves) to an easier energy to harvest (heat): placing some use and benefit to this experiment?
unless i'm misunderstood you are am misinformed, in which please correct me.

You overlook the fact that it is happening in the opposite direction you suggest. He is taking the energy "harvested" at a power plant, which is then turned into electricity, moved through power lines and USED TO POWER THE MICROWAVE and using it to make some water into steam and some light. Its like a really inefficient incadescent lightbulb. He takes usable electricty and uses it to do exactly what a microwave is designed to do: make things hot. He uses energy, doesn't create it.

yes you use the fire in the power station to heat up a tank of water which turns into steam then it turns the turbine which spins a magnet in a drum with lots of coiled wire to create the current which is transported to a transformer which makes the voltage from 400V-40000V then it goes to peoples houses etc.

But in a power station, the "fire" or other heat source comes from burning fossil fuels, which releases the the energy in the chemicalï»
