Water Sparkplug

The latest "death" smoked the Fets but the internal fuses are still good

Mike the TVS is not saving the inverters?

[jstadwater]

Hello all,

My inverters have a total of four 30 amp fuses internal. The latest "death" smoked the Fets but the internal fuses are still good, checked all four. Anyway, I intend to adjust the ignition timing today on the Suburban to get the spark knock to go away. Then I will road test to see if there is a good power difference while using the plasma spark, on just gasoline. I also have a working hydrogen unit attached to this vehicle, we'll see how that comes into play a little later.

@ Greg
Did you experience spark knock on your 4 cylinder? Do you know how far you adjusted your timing to obtain a smooth run? Just curious........................Mike

P.S.

Sorry- there is mistake:
I mean output voltage is the same 200Volts - 130Volts is correct.

Hi! I have good and bad news. At first- I make a Discovery. This discovery is very interesting. I think, all of You watching my Video with 1 Darlington transistor + Impulse transformer? If Yes then I can tell You more... In my video the generator was... Sinus Wave generator. Today I make a multivibrator with Square impulse output about 30-40KHz. And I make some mesurments... and I find somthing is wrong. And that is what I mean about discovery. At first- if we look to the circuit: difference is only a square or sine generator... only??? Go to next.
With Sine I have 1) 3 Amps; 12Volts and 130V output- 60Watts lamp.
2) Transistor was warm and transformer too.
3) No resonance in frequency range from 10 to 40KHz. I mean output voltage is the same 200Volts.
With Square wave 1) 6Amps; 12Volts and 125V output- 60 Watts lamp.
2) Transistor was very hot, but transformer ... cold.
3)Very sharp resonance!!!
Conclusions: I am absolutly shore- The SQUARE CURRENT NO WORK CORRECT IN THE TRANSFORMERS!!! Becouse no Maximum point and no mimimum point of current. Transformer no working!!! We see only position ON and OFF and no position where wave start go from 0 volts then to maximum 12V and so and after. Transistor is go to saturation and after some period his current make him dead... . I am shore we must make generators with sine form, and that is very important!!!

Hi all,

I have moved away from inverters altogether. I have built the simplest of oscillators - a two transistor DC-AC device with a voltage doubler.

Greg

Hi Greg

Can you post a parts list and the schematic of your "oscillators" with the doubler?

Thanks

No Inverter

Hi all,

I have moved away from inverters altogether. I have built the simplest of oscillators - a two transistor DC-AC device with a voltage doubler.

I got a scope-wise look at the 'death' event that fried one of my inverters and it appears that the failure (at least on my stuff) is related to the C-MOS circuitry in the inverter controls getting fried first then followed by random firing of the power FETS in the inverter resulting in shorting and burnout. The inverter has an internal 50 A fuse that is blown. All of those have always been blown. If this theory proves out then my transistor oscillator should live ... no control circuitry ... just two power transistors and a couple of diodes, some resistors, etc.

I'll let you know.

Greg

Hi Greg,

Can you post your video to let us know the multipier works ?

Excellent progress there revizal.

Is it possible to run on diesel using only plasma? without the GEET.

In my experiment, my engine was died if I add diesel into fuel tank on original standard ignition. It was runs on just plasma booster (no GEET) but not smooth as my previous video. It's run very bad in low RPM. I guest it's not what we want. The last (as my last video), the engine runs very smooth with diesel on Plasma booster+GEET. I'm sure this methode is what we need. It makes us sure to clear convert gasoline engine to diesel.

YouTube - Mixed GEET-PLASMA on genset

I hope it gives some additional progress here.
Best regard,

Hi all.
I made a new timing setup for my genset. This setup will have the waste spark, but at this time I do not want to go past TDC anyway. It does not have any gears and other things that can make the ignition unreliable, just simple aluminum timing disc and an optoswitch on a sliding plexiglass plate. Hope that this setup will work good so that I can test the water spark setup + HHO booster + water injection



Thanks,

OK,

Got the circuit hooked up and functional in the 5.7 liter Suburban! Inverter IS NOW isolated from chassis ground, got it on a 1/4 inch thick piece of rubber! It definitely makes a difference when you flip the inverter on. Pressing the pedal down quickly, gives a serious spark knock. That tells me the plasma spark is igniting the gas allot quicker than normal and I will have to retard the timing to make up for the quicker ignition. I was hoping to have this problem! Best of all is that the inverter still LIVES!! I turned it on first, then cranked the engine. Also cranked the engine first, then flipped the inverter on. Inverter is happy either way, very good news. All the gauges work normally, forgot to check for any noise in the radio. When I rev the engine, slow enough not to get spark knock, it is very smooth and sounds like it has bigger kahonees now. Tomorrow is another day for testing, time to go home now and move some more stuff to the other house. Almost done with that, but then there's arranging it all again! Till tomorrow..............................Mike

I am not certain about that, but you can try that out. You wont damage anything with higher resistance, the smaller cap will just charge slower

[jstadwater]

Thanks Jetijs,

I will leave it as it is. Your explanation of the tripler circuit makes sense to me. But should I raise the resistence from 100 ohms to 200 ohms, still 100 watt resistor? I am not using a "storage cap", only voltage tripler and then three MW oil caps in parallel, totalling 2.5uF as discharge. My slide resistor is in-line from the voltage tripler pos+ to pos+ of the 2.5uF discharge caps. I am almost finished with the install of the new inverter inside the Suburban's cab. (making sure nothing touches ground this time). UH-OH, I'm down to three inverters in stock, must..............get...................more...... .....backups. Maybe I won't fry anymore of them. YEAH, RIGHT!!!

Well, back to play, I mean work.....................................Mike

[Jetijs]

Mike, you need to put the inverter protection resistor after the isolation transformer and leave the rest of the circuit as it was, because if you remove the resistor between the positive terminals of both caps, you will be limited to 120Hz frequency (rectified 60Hz) that the inverter puts out.

Edit, but I think that you do not need it at all, because your tripler caps are the load that is always there and the full discharge happens only in the small capacity cap. If you used just the inverter output rectified current to charge the cap and then discharge the same cap into the spark gap, then you would need the resistor between rectifier and inverter, but for the vexus circuit you don't need that.
