Cheers Jeff, let's hope so 

At some point in time Meyer simply had had to stumble across, most probably likely by mistake as it's merely only mistakes that brings us forward, some anomaly that which he decided to look a little deeper into.Quote from FaradayEZ on September 19th, 2013, 06:56 AM Sure, that's where it all starts, has to start. Proof the dielectric layers importance.. (like i said in my original post..)
Vibration, resonance is an extra, something for later on.. after some proof of concept, or if the proof doesn't produce that much extra as needed.. :)
I'm almost sure one gets more production "Lamare's" way, but i still think after that, one should look into where some sweet spot may be, to get things really going.
But heck, what do you expect from someone who believes in resonance?
So he must have started out using plates or tubes, just like we do, added the secret sauce (or not, Lamare could be right here in that Meyer actually didn't know anything about "different surface structures") and then hit that with some voltage and after adjusting the frequency getting what I would like to call the Meyer effect, giving either a completely new form of gas which is far more explosive compared to hydrogen, or that his cell in fact all the sudden started producing far more gas compared to any other frequency while at the same time observing the cell voltage rise, the current fall and the water temperature drop, all along as the bubbles rose up to the surface.
I'd love to witness that with my own eyes.
Now we have to try to look beyond Meyer's patents, try out new ideas, think outside the box, make some mistakes so we learn what goes or not.
Hopefully one of us makes the right kind of mistake, the very one Meyer made (IMHO) and decides to share it to the rest of the World.
Thinking about thinking, maybe the gasflow from the cell should be subjected to an open flame now and then, just to check for differences in colour, perhaps even do soap bubbles test and set them on fire just to see (I.E hear) differences in the explosiveness.....?
As long as it's done in a controlled manner, using safety goggles, gloves, Peltor etc, I only see a lot of advantages in performing such tests.
But if a simple test could quickly discover if the Cr2O3 mantle gives the expected effect, i would rather have that done early.

Sure you can measure all kinds of things, still that wouldn't make any whatsoever sense though as you don't know what to look for.
A major cause of the plague of faulty capacitors was industrial espionage in connection with the theft of an electrolyte formula. A researcher is suspected of having taken, when moving from Japan to Taiwan, the secret chemical composition of a new low-resistance, inexpensive, water-containing electrolyte. The researcher subsequently tried to imitate this electrolyte formula in Taiwan, to undersell the pricing of the Japanese manufacturers. However, the secret formula had apparently been copied incompletely, and it lacked important proprietary ingredients which were essential to the long-term stability of the capacitors. The bad formulation of electrolyte allowed the unimpeded formation of hydroxide and produced hydrogen gas.
I know one thing to look for, very high resistance when the plates come in contact with water. The next big thing is to put some high voltage across those plates and show me bubbles. I see that by more than one person on this forum and I'll be packing up my cells to be shipped somewhere for professional electropolishing.
What if the very high resistance builds up using very high voltage?

Sounds like a chicken-n-egg problem to me. But regardless, a pair of 18 ga. 316 stainless plates, each one square inch one of them electropolished and the other rough buffed would tell us plenty. If it don't, electropolish the other one too. If you still can't manage some high voltage AND get some bubbles, it's not quite game over, but you certainly will need to restart the research. If you can get high voltage AND bubbles, sound the horns because this will be exactly what a whole mess of folks need to know to get to the next level.Quote from Lynx on September 21st, 2013, 01:23 AM What if the very high resistance builds up using very high voltage?
There's also the delicate matter of the correct frequency here.
Maybe the bubbles won't show up unless it's the correct frequency and high voltage?
Seriously guys, lets think for a minute, how did Stan do this? I'll bet my house he didn't jump in a design this whole complete system right from the start and hook it up--shazam! It works! Just like I thought it would. No, instead he took baby steps where each little bit of understanding led to some improvement and when that improvement was maximized, he looked at other little pieces to work on. Normal waterfall, iterative engineering. But he had to have started somewhere and that somewhere produced HHO and it didn't take the kind of power he would have initially suspected it would, so he kept going and improving. Now if those tubes had a coating, that had to be a critical factor in what he saw from his very first test. That would have been enough. Put yourself in his shoes. If you produced some gas at a pretty decent rate and your volt meter and amp meter showed values a little low for the amount of gas you were producing, first you'd check your gauges to see if they were broke and when not, you'd say to yourself, "Well, this is pretty cool. I wonder just how far I can take it."
You're killing me Lynx. I can run a frequency sweep in about ten minutes that will tell you if anything in there is worth zeroing in on. To do it I just hook my sweep generator to my audio amp and lastly to my toroid step-up. Is a 1000 volts enough, 20 - 20000 Hz ?
Personally I doubt frequency really matters that much except for the coils you choose to use. The frequencies we are talking about are way way too slow for any atomic interaction.
I have watched the video without sound and resonance certainly is an important ingredient in the whole system.Quote from firepinto on September 19th, 2013, 02:44 PM Max put together a good video talking about resonating frequencies:
I noticed that on Stan's drawing, it says something like electrical waves, which bounce between the walls and propagate along the length direction of the horn-like structure. There is NO WAY that is correct, you are talking about a waveguide with a distance between the metal in the order of perhaps a few mm and a length of perhaps a few cm. There is quite a lot of information about waveguides in my moonbounce thread over at the energetic forum:
http://www.energeticforum.com/eric-dollard-official-forum/9727-who-performs-first-longitudinal-moon-bounce-history-6.html#post230353
For a horn-like waveguide with a length in the order of about 10 cm, you are talking about resonance frequencies in the order of 750 MHz - 3 GHz! There would be NO WAY to do this without specialized VHF engineering.
So, the resonances which do take place can ONLY be acoustic resonances caused by sound waves propagating trough the fluid or air in the test setup and/or possibly trough the metal itself, which I consider to be pretty unlikely. There you are talking about resonance frequencies in the order of several kHz:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_soundFor a horn like structure with a length of about 10 cm, you would be talking about a resonance frequency in the order of 3 - 15 kHz.Quote In common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance. Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times as fast in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius. Sound waves in solids are composed of compression waves (just as in gases and liquids), but there is also a different type of sound wave called a shear wave, which occurs only in solids.
So, those kinds of acoustic waves are well within the possibilities, while electrical or electromagnetic resonances are totally out of the question.

Fair enough.Quote from Matt Watts on September 20th, 2013, 06:49 AM The problem I have with this theory is from the implementation standpoint, unless there was some more luck involved. Here's why:Quote from Lynx on September 20th, 2013, 04:23 AM (or not, Lamare could be right here in that Meyer actually didn't know anything about "different surface structures")
If you took a metal rod and hooked a wire to it, but nothing happened, wouldn't you suspect just for a minute you have a bad connection? I would. Then I'd probably sand or grind on the rod and check with the ohm meter to make sure I had that fixed. At some point down the road you might think to yourself, "hmmm, I wonder what that coating was on the rod?"
I've had this exact same thing happen only the coating wasn't an oxide layer, it was a protective thin film to prevent oxidation. As soon as you realize this, you get out your razor blade and check everything to make sure the film has been removed.
I can't for a moment think Stan didn't know this right away and it's something you wouldn't forget. After fixing the bad connection on the first tube, surely he applied the same procedure to all the rest of them, unless you want to suppose for a minute none of the tubes had a direct connection to the input wires and it still managed to work that way.
Let's assume for a second that he tried out different types of electrolytes then using the same cell over and over again.
Perhaps he tried out phosphoric acid, propylene glycol, isopropanol, perhaps even dish soap...........? :angel:
And voila = a nice set of electropolished tubes.
Maybe he saw some interesting anomaly after that then, who knows?
I think that the old ideas has been more or less depleted, we need new ideas to kick this thing to fruition.

Reading these posts i see a monkey random typing shakespear..i guess its the right picture for Stan. ;)
My point is if you really think you have found the missing piece to this puzzle, that piece by itself will take us a long way without having to build a complete optimized system. That one factor will show very optimistic results even when other factors are way off target. I'm not 100% positive, but pretty sure of it--confidence factor of 95%.
Seeing you posting EZ makes me wonder on what side of the Stan fence you're really on.Quote from FaradayEZ on September 21st, 2013, 05:16 AM Reading these posts i see a monkey random typing shakespear..i guess its the right picture for Stan. ;)
Wouldn't you like to see a breakthrough here?
Hear, hear, but Matt, they won't do it. You have to check this thing yourself, and you have the means to do it simple and quickly.Quote from Matt Watts on September 21st, 2013, 01:54 AM My point is if you really think you have found the missing piece to this puzzle, that piece by itself will take us a long way without having to build a complete optimized system.

So test it and let me know in private email, we don't want to disturb the buildingfever of Lamare and Lynx.
They are set for the whole journey now so let them enjoy that vacation.I don't know what to think about Stan and his pseudoscience. And i never believed the EPG could do something. I've been open about that also, see my older postings.Quote from Lynx on September 21st, 2013, 05:32 AM Seeing you posting EZ makes me wonder on what side of the Stan fence you're really on.Quote from FaradayEZ on September 21st, 2013, 05:16 AM Reading these posts i see a monkey random typing shakespear..i guess its the right picture for Stan. ;)

But come on Lynx, is this about sides? Really? I support your project, i just asked for one little thing..a quick lakmoestest..if thats not doable ok, but i think it is possible to test it first smaller.
We all love the breakthrough. Please don't make camps here.
My guess is though that his babysteps included making mistakes, history has proven over and over that mistakes has led to groundbreaking discoveries before and what if one of his "mistakes" were to have used electropolished tubes in his experiments and "accidentally" getting hilarious amounts of gas as a result of that, without him knowing that his tubes or plates had that extra secret sauce on them?
That's why we're here right now having this discussion thanks to Lamare.
And Lynx, haven't i said often enough that i support the arguments, that i also think it plausible that Stan had something at one time and lost it. Then the pseudoscience also makes sense again for me.Quote from Lynx on September 21st, 2013, 02:51 AM My guess is though that his babysteps included making mistakes, history has proven over and over that mistakes has led to groundbreaking discoveries before and what if one of his "mistakes" were to have used electropolished tubes in his experiments and "accidentally" getting hilarious amounts of gas as a result of that, without him knowing that his tubes or plates had that extra secret sauce on them?

So don't place me or others in an opposite fence, i'd really like you to take that line back. Its not becomming for a moderator, its something one expects from a ranting kid.
And even if you put me on some other camp, i will still support you.
Maybe Matt and me are a bit more cautious then Lamare and you.
Thanks for letting me know your opinion on Meyer's work btw, makes it easier for me in the future to disregard some of your remarks.
This again is making camps... as if when i write my thoughts about something Stan tried to do, as if i'm then bias and not objective.Quote from Lynx on September 21st, 2013, 05:51 AM Thanks for letting me know your opinion on Meyer's work btw, makes it easier for me in the future to disregard some of your remarks.
Try to find such a post of mine where you should have reason to disregard.
It's been my experience that the resistance from one's cell to another will be different, even the water used will change the resistance of one's cell.
But the cell I have already built and tested, using same water [tap], Lawton circuit and others, the resistance has remained about the same.
I have seen nothing to change that. I tend to think even higher voltages will not change the resistance of my cell, I could be wrong.
What I would like to do is take my cell apart and electropolish the tubes myself, so what is needed, is a formula and/or procedure for an individual to do this on his own. I for one don't want to pay someone else to do something I think we ourselves can do.:D
Peace?
