Pyrophoric electrodes

[NOBOX7]

cool bro do you see the green light

that takes place speraticly

[NOBOX7]

very cool are the flints consumed

[cheeseboat15]

@NOBOX7

Yes, any time there is arcing, (with the exception of tungsten metal for tig welding) one of the electrodes will be consumed. It will be the one with the positive charge

hi m3sca1 could you tell us how do you get 1000 volts 15 amps trhu the water please what are you using exactly i'm trying to insulate the eletrodes and this way i did like 800 volts with transformer designe like the stanley meyer said with an e core 600 turns secondary 30 turns primary almost no amps flowing. are you using resonant charging chokes ? diode ? ??? if you want send me an privet message. i could share with you my conclusions if you want.

[member762]

I am guessin you are starting the solusion at room temperature, I would recomend you start with the solusion at around 100 degrees. This should start up your reaction right away.

THats some sweet stuff! There's a lot to learn on this channel!

[h2otohydrogen]

Looks great. You need submerge the electrodes. Check out AKVO here on the tube. His are under water. This is the break through we've needed.

Thanks m3sca1

[m3sca1]

thanx for the AKVO link.I dont want to jump to any conclusions yet,but im getting some bigger pieces of flint and want to use potassium carbonate instead of the sodium carbonate.

potassium has a lower activation energy,and i feel this would lower the energy level required for ignition.

that and i want to experiment with semiconductors as a catalyst,thats why i included silicon carbide.

worth a try

[josejir]

It look like a small sun.The electrodes were under the water or over?

[m3sca1]

the electrodes where on the surface of the water.

[overunitydotcom]

Wow,

great experiment.

How many amps do you feed through these

electrodes ?

Do you have any electrolyte inside the water ?

What is your supply voltage ?

DC ? How uch voltage ?

[m3sca1]

electrolyte sodium carbonate.

other additive silicon carbide(semiconductor).

Microwave oven transformer recitifed for DC output.

somewhere under 15 amps and voltage guesstimate 1000 volts DC.

[toranarod]

that awesome. I am speechless at your exeriments

were did you get the idea from for this?

keep up the great work

cheers Rod.

[m3sca1]

i was thinking about different materials for electrodes,and i have always been amazed by the properties of mischmetal/flint.

i used to pull it out of lighters and wrap the spring around it,then heat it to dull red and it would get hotter all by itself,then i would throw it and make a sparkler affect.

so i thought maybe that extra heat would be transferred to the electrolyte.

[Careica]

Did you get my e-mail to you?

[m3sca1]

yep-did you consider the difference in temerature?

[Careica]

I tought that spark cells is so low efficency things, that I will stop making them. I will now build 7 plate Stainless steel plates, and see, whitch production it will give me. My point is get lawnmower run on hydrogen, so I need much on production, spark screws make only much heat.

[jesslessthemess]

Are you finding that it doesn't take as much power to get the plasma, and do the electrodes degrade quickly? It would be a neat set up to have 2 or 3 pairs of electrodes for start up, med term, long term reactions...for cars and such.

[m3sca1]

i have only just tried this today havent measured anything.

[m3sca1]

i want to get bigger pieces to use for the electrodes.they didnt burn out too quick considering what was going on in there.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Pure tungsten welding rods.

[m3sca1]

thanx for your comment

put aside the theories of Fleischmann and Pons and others who came before them just for a moment (i.e.H loving electrodes such as palladium and tungsten,and the heavy stuff),

and consider an electrode that is made of substances that are combustable at room temperature,when finely divided.

as it tries to ignite it is quenched by the electrolyte.

it's certainly worth a look ,i feel.4
