Note:
H2opower is using 10 cells in series. This means each cell receives 1/10 the voltage. Putting 1000v across the tubes gives 100v each.
Look at the attached sheet from Stan. This is his single cell demo unit data. It shows the process starts at 30v and he goes up to 80v. also note the CURRENT the cell is using (it's amps not microamps). Reducing the current improves efficiancy but is not required to prove the process.
I think H2opower has found the process to get it to work. I think He is way off with one or more of his parameters, this is why he can only get it operating with all the tubes in series.
so 100 V for each single cell is much more than those 2 to 8 V for a single cell of other experimenters at load condition, right? and that at a current in the mA range ...
Yes, most haven't got the process to start. In order to get over the 2v level, the ions have to be prevented from conducting current. If the ions are seperated, made non-ions, I don't know, the voltage should be able to rise without increasing current. If someone got 8v across a single cell (direct contact with water, ie not isolated) and they were not putting into the cell massive amounts of power they may have been very close to the answer.
I just wanted to say the H2opower and Stan are close to the same voltage levels.
At the same time I wanted to point out the current for Stan's 8XA unit was high, a lot of talk about why the components are heavy duty like the SCR and bridge rectifier. Now as for the current meter, it's unlikely reading 100A, either it was modified or was a meter that read a percentage of the current in it's origanal circuit.(the current meter says charge amps like it was from a forktruck battery charger). There is much talk about high voltage 1K 2K 10K 20K I don't beleave this is nessarary. As Stan shows 30v and up. And yes, the higher the voltage the better the gas production.
Another point: The 8XA doesn't change the base frequency. It's 120hz (U.S.A.) and using an SCR as most have found out you can't gate it at 10khz it will just be triggered all the time. An SCR will not turn off untill the current goes below it's min holding current. This is likely the reason Stan placed a diode around the SCR to try to force the current off (would have to be a very leaky diode) But having the analog meter were it is would. It's likely gated under 10hz.
When Stan used the demo, he could control the voltage, the gate frequency, and the plate spacing. He was able to look into the clear cell and most likely hear the frequency and or the beat frequency. He could read the cell voltage and current. With these, he could get it to work.
