No the EPG as of now is a generator... But I can run the cell with it? But the intent is to produce energy, and let the thing run it's self! ~Russ
Stan Meyers resonant cavity is easy to produce! Wow!
Russ, I just spent about 45 minutes looking for parts in the basement and resolved to use a 120vac to 12.6 vac radio shack transformer, my multi-stage variable pulse oscillator that I built to drive my rodin coil, salvaged a variable choke from my junk box, wound a little bit of high resistance thermostat wire around an inductor, and tossed in a diode. I made a small cathode/anode combo out of foil and hot glue and put it all together. There is a small steady stream of bubbles when I got the frequency right and the amp dropped down to almost null compared to the 300ma it was drawing before the freq was right. This is easy! Time to get some good electrodes going! I can't believe how simple that was!
Heh, and the longer it runs the higher the conversion rate!
I wonder if I could power this off of my 2 18v output car battery charging solar panels...
Be carfull with the AL. It will quickly erode and also release some bad stuff as AL is bad to breath. Just keep that in mined. Get some SS electrical covers, good for testing
Play with it!
Keep posting results!

For now, I figured I would post what I did and when I get my hands on stainless steel electrodes, and perhaps improve the design of the tuning choke, I'll youtube it.
1: connected pulse oscillator(astable 555 timer with configurable duty cycle) to base of the 2n3055 which controls the power to the 120vac to 12.6 vac transformer, using the 12.6 vac side as primary.
2: connected volt meter across secondary side, and sweep the oscillator frequency and duty cycle to find a resonant/harmonic condition which turned the 12 vdc I was putting in there into a little over 900 volts.
3: connected one lead of the secondary through a diode and inductor/choke wound with high resistance thermostat wire to one electrode.
4: connected other lead of the secondary through a variable inductor/choke to the other electrode and to isolated ground(a metal cube that I am building into a orgone accumulator).
5: turned it on.
6: play with the variable inductor until I see a nice steady stream of bubbles.
I was using a variable power supply running at 12-13 vdc, and it would oscillate to about 300ma(as judged by the power supply display, not amp meter) until the tunable choke was in the right place, then I couldn't really tell what the draw was from the analog display because it was very low.
Honestly, I don't really care about making the hydrogen gun part right now. I think I would like to create a pressurization system with a configurable output psi, add a valved input from a reservoir for auto-fill during the negative pressure, and make a flame heater from the output to experiment with and heat my house. Perhaps even make it into a portable camp stove.
And a tent heater!
I guess I should mention that the resonant freq was found using the 1uf cap on the oscillator. Russ, you still have a copy of the circuit diagram I sent you for my multistage variable pulse oscillator?
