Hydrosonic Pump Project Testing #2

In this video we have the pump hooked up to a 5 gallon bucket with about
4 gallons of water. The water in the bucket was at 52 deg F. The pump
was first pre-heated by opening the by-pass valve until it was at about
125 deg, then we closed the by-pass valve and allowed the water to
thermo-syphon through the bucket. You can see the temp rising.

I live in Brazil and friends want to know if this compressor can compress flammable gas and which model is? what was the compressor that you used to compress the gas inflmavel? how did you do this project?

[andrewsengineering]

@ney299 It is not a compressor, and it will not compress anything, it heats water by cavitation caused by a specially designed rotor.

[warwickmark]

very nice unit! I've been looking at doing one of these myself.  what are you using to pump the water through the device? What is the top temperature you have gotten out of this?

[andrewsengineering]

@warwickmark I've had it up to about 190 F and it would go higher but the seals I used won't take much more heat than that. I used a boiler circulator to circulate water through it. At some point i'll probably hook it into my boiler system and see what it does...

can you please tell me where you got your print from

[andrewsengineering]

@TheJteachout I had no prints, I came up with all the dimensions on my own.

so how many minuts did it take to increase the temp of 4 gallons of water by how much.

[TedFnBuckle]

Very nice, would be good to see it spin faster.

[TheJteachout]

would you be willing to share your information with me I would be extremely interested in the layout and diameter of the holes in your rotor
