simply take an oscilloscope and measure if you're interested-for me Average voltage across all cells is enough from that you know how much each individual cell has, amount of current  determine gas production ,you can watch every single pulse on an oscilloscope but the end result will be the same
also how to connect transformer, bloody hell how many possibilities are there
Ronnie hasn't spoken much about the differences in phases during pulse on and pulse off. When he does the pictures i'm not sure whether he's talking about a resonant condition in the VIC or he's talking about primary frequency. There will be significant differences in the VIC during the different stages because the diode has to be in operation of forward and reverse bias at different times of the pulse on and off stages. Ronnie's last picture for example has L2 in opposite phase to the other coils but during which stage? Pulse on or pulse off? It's just confusing to me personally but then again I'm just stupid as x-blade keeps saying.

Nav don't take that comment I made personal it was directed to everyone. I just don't get it, I drew up a photo of how the coils are on Stan's Vic and how they are phased and people want scope shots showing it. Damn I can visualize that in my head. I don't need a scope. Again both drawings are the same. The top one of STAN'S is a wire diagram and mine is actually on the Vic as drawn.
I'm not taking anything personally Ronnie but its difficult to grasp when its a little fragmented. The way I explain things is different to yours, for example this would be my format:
1. A primary pulse is sent to the VIC and during pulse on time this is the scope shot of current and voltage, the voltage has X relationship to current (phase relationship of current and voltage in the primary)
2. When the primary is at pulse off the scope looks like X and the voltage and current have now changed X value: This tells us what the resistor is doing on the primary during pulse on and off etc.
3. Secondary during pulse on has a scope shot like X and here is the phase relationship between voltage and current and here is the difference between the primary phases and secondary phases.
etc etc etc.
What this does is help people build up a understanding how everything is ticking because without it you can't up scale or down scale or see relationships that may be very significant including phases. Tesla had a mathematical mind, he understood the principles of electricity in his mind but we don't have those qualities. If we are tuning radio's for example, it is almost impossible to tune the pll circuits and the vfo, ocillator etc without a scope or other means of syncronising stuff. Watch Stan's vids of himself and his brother with the boards connected to their scope, without a scope you are screwed basically.

Nav,

You bring up some great points.

I don't see the VIC as a flyback though.
The reason is because the flyback produces voltage in a different manner than the VIC.

A flyback depends on short high current pulses through an inductance...When the magnetic field collapses it produces a high current through the inductance.  V=L *di/dt shows you how the voltage is produced.

Yes Stans explanations are very similar...But I don't believe they describe a flyback.

In the VIC the voltage is generated by a small current flowing through a large reactance.  V=i * XL, V=i * XC

Do the math used for basic transformers....You'll find the turns ratio produces around 60V across the secondary coil....In a series resonant circuit at resonance the only impedance is the resistance in the circuit (around 220 ohms for the 3 coils).
Take 60V/220 ohms = 270mA .

Now...Stan states the cell uses up to 20kV
How much reactance would it take for the 1.262H choke to produce 20kV?

20kV/.27A = 74,000 ohms impedance
Now....What is the impedance of 1.262H at 10kHz?
Answer: 79,000 Ohms

That shows you using the actual measured valued of Stan's VIC & L1 choke that just below 10kHz the circuit will produce 20kV across the cell...If it's at resonance, that's the hard part!
"20kV/.27A = 74,000 ohms impedance
Now....What is the impedance of 1.262H at 10kHz?
Answer: 79,000 Ohms "

XL = 2piFL
      = 2  x  3.141592653  x  10  kHz  x  1.262  H
      = 7.9E+04 ohms  (to 2 significant digits)
      = 79,294 ohms

Stan states "WO1992007861A1   CONTROL AND DRIVER CIRCUITS FOR A HYDROGEN GAS FUEL PRODUCING CELL"
"At start up, in this example, current draw through the water cell will measure about 25 milliamp; however, when the circuit finds a tuned resonant condition, current drops to 1-2 milliamp minimum leakage condition."

So 20kV gives minimum of 10 Mega Ohms of "impedance" for this current through the cell.

If this is not true, tell me how Meyer restricted that current through the cell...

Some things in the patent are not right, is just to ensure that they aprove it.
This values if more likely to the injectors.

Well this is for the 3 inch cell configuration and 20kV may be high, lets say 2kV and makes it 2E3/2E-3 = 1 mega ohm.

I have all of the US, Canadian and European patents x-blade on disk. What strikes me is not just differences in wording from one patent to another but there are pictorial differences in some of the schematics. Coil orientation is one of them and phase angle's is another. It's almost as if someone has been into the documents and swapped a few things around to confuse.

At resonance in a SERIES LC circuit the current is maximum, only limited by the wire resistance of the coils, in the other way, the voltage across individual componentes can be 20kv or more depending the value of the components.

There is something that I will like to discuss with everyone.
With a closer look to the technical brief I found some curious point and I put the texto together with the image:



Look what he called applied voltage (H) and where that are located in the schematic (marked on red).

so You are technically increase flow of current through the cell     1 mamp times 20000 volts=20watts

This is just my opinion, scope shots are not going to help any one that still has no clue how to impedance match the circuit. Show me one person that understands it yet. All I see is people wanting to see proof, then the same people after showing them proof will be the same ones that come back and say how do you do this and that.
Ronnie has given us a foundation with the DC impedance matching and it looks to me like no one has done their homework as Russ suggested we will need to do.

Seriously, did anyone spend a few hours playing with the spreadsheet I posted?  If you did you will realize several things straight away.  If you mess with the turns ratio, you're hosed.  If  you mess with the resistance on the primary side, you're hosed.  If you mess with the resistance on the secondary side, you're hosed.  If you add or subtract turns someplace you better balance it or...   You're hosed.

So what's left to adjust?

Do you see anywhere on that spreadsheet frequency?   No you don't.

How about core parameters?  Nothing there either.

If you adjust the voltage when the VIC is matched, what do you see?   You see the power-out still equals power-in and everything stays matched.

So we have three completely independent variables left we can adjust that will match the VIC to the cell.  And the core just needs to be fairly high permeability so we don't have stray flux all over the place.  That leaves two variables.  Ronnie already stated to start at low voltage and tune the frequency a little at a time, then go to a slightly higher voltage and tune again.  Keep doing this until you hit the 12 volts max.  No magic there.  Once you get up to the 12 volts, don't make any frequency adjustments or you'll fry your VIC.

Come on guys, quit bickering about needing fancy test equipment, scope shots and visual proof.  The math is right there staring you in the face.

Do the homework and lets get building or rebuilding if you already screwed up.

Look at your core, figure out what wire to use, make some bobbins starting with the primary, shoot for a 1 : 6 turns ratio, plug in the numbers and try to get as close as you can.  The magic is in how this thing really does what Ronnie says it does, not in building it.  Ronnie has given us enough to solve that part if we get serious and crunch some numbers.  That's my take on it anyway.  If Ronnie has more to add that will improve this process, I'm sure he will tell us.

Russ what was the minimum order that you gave to manufacture the C cores and cost?
I cant remember but it was around 2,000$

i will dig that info up and we can decide again on what we want to do. ill post it else where, keep an eye out for that thread.
Quote from nav on October 31st, 2016, 02:28 PM
Ronnie has made it clearer but when Ronnie did his spark plug video he placed the primary over the air gap but never explained why. Perhaps Ronnie will explain why he did this. I think there is a network on the primary side that somehow bridges the gap and its either the primary or pickup or both together forming a linear core down the primary side of the core then it uses the two chokes and the capacitor to charge the other side of the core.
i was gonna also ask this, Ronnie, can you please give us your humble opinion on this?

Both of those photo's are identical to each othe, and they are correct. This is just my opinion, scope shots are not going to help any one that still has no clue how to impedance match the circuit.

All I see is people wanting to see proof, then the same people after showing them proof will be the same ones that come back and say how do you do this and that.
yes, i agree, although scope shots will be helpful to understand phasing and everything else we NEED to understand the math behind it also,  so more study work to be done. I have a mind like Ronnie, i can visualize the stuff. however i can also just wright it down and think about it. dont get me wrong, it can be confusing, but, i see this basic understanding of learning a TO DO first.  I feel it will take us a while longer than expected. and more so when we each have our own brain and  we all have so Manny ideas but we need to just sit back and think first on what , how, and why,  just my 2 cent's

i was told by a friend who worked with stan that there was ALOT of work done by ALOT of people. and there for ALOT of small mistakes in the patent's and Doc's PLEASE do take EVERY drawing and patent and grasp what its trying to say. there ARE mistakes, there ARE things that are not right. so dont fret on one drawing or thing as there were Manny hands in theses docs...
just a reminder.

this is why i'm more open to taking what Ronnie is saying and then think about it WAY before i ever need a scope shot or pick up a soldering iron. there is some study work and things to get straight be fore we jump to far in to it.

Keep on keeping on Ronnie, like any good teacher.. keep pounding it on us. if you have to repeat yourself 10 times before we get it thats just how teaching is some times...

I know phasing plays a big role in everything, but what i was trying to teach had nothing to do with phasing or scope shots. Just look at the add pages that got added and threw everything off track. Some was my fault due to phasing. I gave the math that shows how to match the line to the load and it all adds up. And most everyone just threw it to the side like it was nothing. Believe me if you don't know how to match everything you don't need a scope in the first place. And from what I have seen so far no one has ever figured out how to match it all up. Jumping form one thing to another want get you a working cell at all. My suggestion is to leave the soldering iron and scope and the wire and bobbins all alone until you figure out what to do with it all.
