Pyrophoric electrodes

mischmetal,ferrocerium,Lighter "flint" is composed mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal, containing approximately 50% cerium and 45% lanthanum, with small amounts of neodymium and praseodymium. The origin of its easy sparking is cerium's low temperature pyrophoricity, its ignition temperature occurring between 150 and 180 degrees celsius.

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

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.

@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

[NOBOX7]

cool bro do you see the green light

that takes place speraticly

[NOBOX7]

very cool are the flints consumed

[sebosfato]

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.

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!

[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
