VexUs / Firestorm test

Greg,
Are you planning to inject steam or whater mist into your intake? What are you plans for testing?

Thanks,
Xack

Hi Xack,

I'm planning to pick up where I left off with my initial tests. I will be using the newer, better higher voltage oscillator / doubler and the VexUs circuit. I will again be ingesting steam from exhaust heat recovery. But now it will include the Firestorm replicas ... installed in the Bug today.

I'm rerouting the inlet air so I can include an air filter. Inlet air will be routed through the heater box on one side with the air filter IN the cabin on the floor behind the driver ... that's where the air filter will be. The steam will be generated in the heater box as a drip line onto sections of the hot exhaust pipe. The (normally) inlet to the heater box in the engine compartment will lead up to the carburetor inlet via very straight and simple ducting. Now I'll have a very non-circuitous and better insulated path for the air and steam, reducing the possibility of condensation on its way to the cylinder.

That's my plan. Peace,

Greg

Thanks a lot for positing that Greg . Yes Robin is an unbelievable machinist. @Xack sure ill try and find out as much detail as i can, we have not actually received the plugs yet, so Greg will be in the first week i think of testing before us. We will run it with the hydroxy on the car.

One observation given to me by Ravi,The extensions made on regular plugs look like copper! Copper WILL NOT work!! The only Alloys you can use for the center Semi-Sphere and the top extensions are to be made from High Chromium (25 to 30%) Fe-Cr-Al Alloys to withstand vaporization during sparking or even High Chromium Nickel Alloys will also work. So keep this in mind -End

Firestorm Data

Hi everyone,

I have just completed measuring the plugs for wear documentation purposes. I have created a baseline data table showing measurements taken at 7 different points on each plug. The plugs have been I.D.'d and assigned to specific engine cylinders.

Thank you Robin David for these expert replications!

Here is a pic of the plugs and the chart:

Peace,

Greg

Firestorm design

Ashtweth,
I am curious to know if we can get a guide how to make these plugs.

Thanks,
Xack

Hi Guys happy new year to all. What a truly inspirational amount of progress its been . We have been silent cause of the dam timing chain breaking in the car WITH the GEET in the back Still getting fixed.

Robin is sending us some amazing plugs the same as what Greg showed. These are really beautiful What a work of art

Even Rob kupra would be impressed with these, we will use them in the groups RE loaded video with all new footage coming up. Adding all the new groups tests in there. We will document some wear like Greg with the hydroxy

These plugs like all the groups research being done is going to help build consumer awareness and demand, wait and see

Resuming tests

Happy New Year everyone,

The Bug is whole again ... finally! I will be reinstalling the VexUs circuit with its new oscillator. Also I have begun documenting the physical dimensions of the firestorm spark plugs so that I can detect any wear. I'll post the photos and other data both on Energetic and OverUnity.

The oil leak 'fix' was challenging just because. What I did seemed to work though.

I know it's off topic but I posted some pics of the task:

Peace,

Greg

oil cooler ready to remove


broken mounting tab still on cooler


tab and block


cut off remaining (old original) mounting tab


fix-it mounting plate


screw heads for metal filled epoxy to grab on to


fix-it plate mounted ... see the screw heads


metal filled epoxy stuffed into damaged area


epoxy filed and cleared for cooler mounting stud and nut


ta da done and ready for cooler and seals, shroud, alternator, distributor, carburetor ... whew!

other components

Thanks Greg

The last drawing I have showed 2n1305 for Q1 & Q2. So I will update it to show MJ2955 for them.
Is there any other changes to the drawing I should make?
I know someone was talking about puting a nother transistor in the circuit to lower the amps used, but could not figher out what he was saying.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Depending on the transformer, the base resistors to the 3055's and the capacitors affect the oscillator's frequency. I use a 50 Ohm (5 watt) resistors and 1 uF (16 VDC) caps and it operates at 90 Hz. I fan cool the 3055's and the transformer. I do not know the best frequency for this, but it is stable.

My Transformer is 24 VA wired as 115 VAC x 10 VAC with center tap. It is a TAMURA PF24-10.

Peace,

Greg

It is OK if you built your oscilator with 2N1305 (a PNP Transistor). I used MJ2955 (PNP transistor too) that the only available in my town. If I'm not wrong... Just what like Greg done, we could adjust the value of caps (will effect the working frequency) and base resistor (will effect the output voltage). But you could build as same as the schematic, it will work well too.

oscillator

Is that an "MJ2455" you are using and not the 1n3055?

Hi mstanner,

If you're referring to the oscillator, there are two types of transistors used. For the PNP's I use MJ2955. The NPN's are 2N3055's. Some folks use different PNP's. I think Rev used MJ2955's too.

Peace,

Greg

Keep up the great work

Excellent results over the past month everyone. Keep up the great work and looking forward to bigger and better results in the New Year.

PS. In the open source world the general rule of thumb is "don't feed the trolls"...

[revizal]

Hi Rev,

YES! You do nice work. It makes me happy to see we now have a system that can be tested with confidence.

Thanks for making the video and sharing.

Peace,

Greg

Thanks Greg. Actually I don't have enough background in electronics, but I like to learn about and built some curcuits. That's why I was pleased to see your progress on oscilator and try to built one. Yeah, it worked very well. Thanks again for your effort to make it solved.

suv

All,

Today I tried to connect above oscilator-inverter to get plasma effect on my SUV. Here below is the video:

YouTube - Plasma Booster w/ Oscilator inverter on SUV-1

I used it together with fuel vaporizer and homemade kiker wires. Basically it worked OK with some concern. I thought my diodes string got some cross talk between its. When I increase RPM near to 1500, the engine look like unsteady. But when it reach 2000 RPM or more, the engine runs smooth. And bad insulation of my kiker wires make distorsion to car audio.
Need more adjustment on it.
