- Normal Tap Water!
- 12VDC from a switching power supply
- About 600mA at start of test
- Cell is about 2.8VDC
- Cell is SS tube...kinda small, but i am broke :)
- Top of chamber opacity high within seconds
- Dave Lawton Style PWM
- 100 turn Bifilar coil
- The extra board is the Optoisolator to protect my PWM...i killed 2 555's and some resistors already!!
- NO cell conditioning! I will take test to see if the conditioning makes more gas or not.
the outter tube is:
OD: 0.438
ID: 0.377
6" long
the Inner tube is:
OD: 0.311
ID: 0.255
7" long
Both are 304SS, yes they do have a welded seam down the center.
show me some good output with current below 100mA and I will become instant believer
tried Lawton many times,something is probably glad for this misinformation put on internet
do you really believe Meyer used square wave ? Oh,boy! Praise The Lord and pass the ammunition...

Very nice effort.
Even if you don't publish them, you will need good MMW numbers for yourself as accurate as you can make them to know if you are moving forward or not.
Most of what I understand about Lawton and Meyers approach (which isn't much by the way) is that they achieve high MMW numbers from the use of very large electrostatic voltages between the plates (On the order of 10KV and larger.)
They use the resonant features of the circuit to limit amp draw.
Good luck.

Nice!! Can you measure gas output with PWM and Coil then PWM no coil and finally No PWM or coil? It appeared that gas production was highest with no PWM and coil but of course as expected the amperage was higher.
