...Got to wonder just how much Styrofoam it would take to stop a golf ball traveling at 1100 meters per second... Wow, this could be a Myth Busters episode.
ROFL! :D :cool: :PQuote from Matt Watts on September 23rd, 2013, 12:51 PM ...Got to wonder just how much Styrofoam it would take to stop a golf ball traveling at 1100 meters per second... Wow, this could be a Myth Busters episode.
What kind of myth would it be? :D :cool: :P

I think everyone should have a burn-o-meter. Or we should all be in the same lab borrowing Russ' meter. :D
Watching Russ, I'm not sure his design is too good for HHO. I think a very short tube that expels a projectile would be more appropriate. Then you just measure the speed of the projectile to get an indication of energy.Quote from firepinto on September 23rd, 2013, 07:45 PM I think everyone should have a burn-o-meter.

And yes, I wish there was a way we could all work together in the same lab. I'd bet we'd have something to offer the world in a very short time. Either that or we'd all have to get plastic surgery to remove the permanent smiles from our faces.

And who's paying for the horror on the neighbours faces? Or the overstretched eyebrows? I imagine a whole block will go into instant halloween when u guys startup.Quote from Matt Watts on September 23rd, 2013, 07:55 PM Watching Russ, I'm not sure his design is too good for HHO.

I often wondered if the piston in Russ his meter would not be pulled back, get sucked back by the vacuum after the explosion.
One could make a (rubber tire) flap inside the piston, (or inside the cylinder) that opens up when the airflow reverses.
The piston did retract some, that is why he had a plastic ring on top of the piston that stayed in place at the highest point in the cylinder once the piston moved back. :cool:
Nice, now i see what a VIC is, i always thought it to be some circuitboard.
Volt Induced Coil?
Technically it would be called a VIC Coil, Voltage Intensifier Circuit Coil. Really the coil is just part of the circuit. :)Quote from FaradayEZ on September 27th, 2013, 03:39 PM Nice, now i see what a VIC is, i always thought it to be some circuitboard.

You are kidding there aren't you EZ. You've been a member here for over a year and you are just now getting around to the VIC terminology?
I will toss something out there though that I'm still a little fuzzy about. Wasn't the sole purpose of the VIC to drive the injector system, not the WFC?
Kee, thx, saw your video entrance with the blue ring :) I wondered if you had just a few magnets in the ring or was it totally filled up? Could make it have just a bit more umpff?

Alright, finally got around to do some measuring.
First things first, so to start with I checked the bandwidth on each of the coils.
As i have decided which one to use as primary that one will not be checked, only the secondaries.
First round of tests were done using 10V P-P (peak to peak) on my frequency generator, sinewave AC.
Results:
Secondary:
- 10V (p-p) at 39 kHz
- 20V - 71 kHz
- 30V - 103 kHz
- Peak amplitude = 36V at 133 kHz
- 30V - 179 kHz
- 20V - 245 khz
[/list]
- 10V - 428 kHz
Pickup:
- 4V - 67 KhZ
- 8V - 158 kHz
- Peak = 10V - 273 kHz
- 8V - 461 kHz
[/list] Choke 1:
- 4V - 1.1 MHz
- 4V - 72kHz
- 8V - 194 kHz
- Peak = 8.8V - 305 kHz
- 8V - 440 kHz
[/list] Choke 2:
- 4V - 1.2 MHz
- 4V - 77 kHz
- 8V - 193 kHz
- Peak = 8.8V - 309 kHz
- 8V - 450 kHz
[/list] Next round using 10V p-p square wave AC gave some pretty interesting results.
- 4V - 1.2 MHz
The secondary coils almost immediately maxed out (at about 100-150 Hz) and maintained the voltage all throughout the frequency sweep, so the interesting results were here when the coils started dropping in voltage.
Results:
Secondary: Started giving 40 V which then climbed at 137 kHz to 47 V only to start dropping at 154 kHz
Pickup: 12,8V, started dropping at 154 khz
Choke 1: 12,8V, started dropping at 136 kHz
Choke 2: 12,8V, started dropping at 129 kHz
Next test will be from secondary - diode - choke 1 - resistor/capacitor - choke 2 then back to secondary and see what gives.
To be continued.
What are you going to be feeding your primary with? Just be careful as that will be seen as a short cct by a power source at low frequencies.Quote from Lynx on September 29th, 2013, 06:33 AM Alright, finally got around to do some measuring..........
