AC Driven Meyer Circuit

Here is a schematic to make Meyer's idea work with any AC or pulsed DC power source with no electrolyte. The order of connection of the transformer is very important to the operation of this circuit. The amount of HHO generated seems to be directly related to the voltage input. I have burnt out 2 small AC adapters while testing this, but it does work. Frequency isn't particularly important, I tested it with 60Hz. The frequency across the cell should appear double the input frequency. The transformer I used was one I wound (1:1 with about 200 turns, air core).

The "AC" source in the image could be replaced by a step up transformer or PWM for example. I'd recommend a current limiter and/or timing circuit be added in the case of an arc to break the arc. This circuit primarily provides proof of concept.

Using a power monitor, I calculated with a straight 120VAC to 9VAC 1A power adapter on my small cell that it was drawing about 27W, so it was pulling 2A over the adapter maximum rating. This is obviously bad, so 1. current limiting is absolutely essential and 2. although in concept the circuit works, it requires more to match Meyer's implementation.

I accept no responsibility for how anyone implements this idea. I do not condone or recommend it's use. I am presenting it for curiousity sake. Anyone who uses this information personally accepts the responsibility and/or consequences of using it.

I'm looking for a suitable power source to continue testing, one that supplies from 12V to 48V at up to 30A. I suspect power requirements like high current electrolysis will remain high to get higher production. However, I believe "voltrolysis" is still better as it doesn't heat the water since high voltage potential is used to do the work instead of current. I tested this on a very miniaturized cell (very small gap) and experienced arcing so it is something to watch for with higher voltage.

Current observations:

The amount of HHO still appears to be directly related to the amount of power. In circuit simulations, I have drawn 2kW from my 12VAC power source while simulating a forced voltage breakdown of a 1F water capacitor.

Seems to me, as show by Meyers, the only way to use this technology effectively is to produce enough HHO that, when mixed with inert gases and water vapour, can produce a combustion reaction sufficient to replace another fuel. HHO alone is not enough.

Progress right now is limitied. It seems that whether using voltage or current, the amount of production is likely the same for a given amount of power. The main difference using voltage instead of current however is that the water does not heat up and you do not require electrolyte. Additionally, smaller water cells are more effective than larger ones as they require less of a charge to break the dielectric of water. It seems to me that the water plug could have worked on this principle.

What is your progress for this? I am interested.

Thanks

if you watch this video I'm curious what the effects of the magnet across the transformer would do to the cell out put. watch?v=atUTu8sg94w
