  • Here are the measurements of my tubes in the video: ** Outer Tube ** Length: 5.5000" Outer Diameter: 0.7500" Inner Diameter: 0.6250" Tube Wall Width: 0.0625" ** Inner Tube ** Length: 5.8750" Outer Diameter: 0.5000" Inner Diameter: 0.3750" Tube Wall Width: 0.0625" ** Hydrolysis Ring ** Width: 0.1250"
  • These measurements are correct:

    Outer tube inside measurement: 1.875 inch (1 7/8)

    Inner tube outside measurement: 1.75 inch (1 3/4)

    Difference : .125 inch (1/8)

    Tubes centered leave distance between: .0625 inch (1/16)

    12.5mm about .5 inch

  • frequency of the signal on the cell was about 920Hz. again. hardly any gas production on this test.

  • i double checked - it was only about 1V from the mixing board, 6V from the PA, 12V to the ignition coil and aprx 40,000V from the igntion coil. blocking diodes kept the cap charging. i saw very very low gas production in this test.

    without the ignition coil and with plain old DC at 24V (ie brute force), I get vigorous gas production. the electrode draws 1 amp at 24V. When i use pulsed DC signal i can get it down to about .6A (24V) at the same (or close) level of gas production.

see all

  • Is that a joke?? You call this replication? Step charging effect? Why do you lie to yourself man.... To satisfy your sadness because you failed? No charging effect there no VIC no replication! Your pulses are not unipolar... There is a below zerro drop for every pulse what kind of step charge is that? Geez... BE REAL BRO! Please! Thank You

  • Wow man... if people continue building "whatever" noone will replicate it... Everyone has Lawton PWM, everyone has couple of SS pipes... but NOONE has a PROPER VIC circuit but instead using all sorts of crap one can imagine... igition coil , amplifiers, low ohm inductors and so on and on... so sad...

  • Hello, are your diodes wired together in serise to handle all that voltage?

  • Thank you for posting this. It saved me a lot of time.

  • Hi Alex,

    Looks like your tubes are smaller although the key is the distance between the tube conductive surfaces. Looks like your and my distances are the same. About 1/16th inch after smaller tube is centered inside of larger tube. The following values may apply to your tubes also:

    .0625 / .5 = .125 inch

    199000V * .125 = 24875V

    The possible problem with using the Sandia National Labs Data using inversely proportional method is that it was for large plate capacitors.

  • In your own words.

    "this move stems from my strong desire to keep this group on topic and useful to its members. i think we all get enough email without having to sift through meaningless drivel."

    It has been two days.

    So are my questions, "meaningless drivel"?

    I have been attempting to work with you on your experiment.

  • Yes of course those measurements are correct, never was a question about those.

    What about the following which is base upon the Sandia National Labs Data using inversely proportional method:

    .0625 / .5 = .125 inch

    199000V * .125 = 24875V

    So if my math is not correct what do you think the correct value would be?

    If my math is correct, based upon your video, it looks like the breakdown voltage was exceeded using the 40KV ignition coil.

    What are your tube measurements please?

    tks robert
