    Hey Guys,

    I had a very good day today, "gotoluc" was at my shop here in Naples most of the day! We did a few experiments, played around with some electronics, discussed everything under the sun about free energy in general, and just had a grand old time! I learned quite a bit of info from him throughout the day, he is a fountain of knowledge. I definitely have some new things to try out and test now, that's for sure! Luc is a very nice guy, and it was really cool to have him explain some things in a few areas in different ways and directions than I had previously considered. Ya'll stay tuned in, it's about to get even more interesting!

    @ Greg

    You are right, the multiplier circuit sufices nicely to replace the need for the storage cap, I think it is even more efficient this way. Nice work putting that board together, so well arranged. I wish I could find some of those heat sinks to use on mine. Can't wait to hear your results from water vapor tests, I got some new tests coming up soon myself.

    @ Luc

    We enjoyed your company here today, and look forward to the next time you can make it into our area. Thanks for the explanations on stuff, and ALL the help you've given me and everyone else on this GREAT forum we're all a part of!

    Later...............................Mike

    Bill's Nexus Circuit in vehicle update_3 cont

    Just wanted every one to know that the system ran flawlessly on the way home today. Not one miss fire/cross talk. As stated before the engine idles and runs smoother, with increased acceleration. I had to fill up on the way home also, so I have a new start point for a MPG comparison.

    I have attached a picture of the new diode configuration.

    Until the next update,

    Hi Greg and Turbo, i think it might be in the groups doc, if you take a look at let me know how you want it in order after Greg posts ill throw it all together

    Yes no problem. I have already posted the oscillator as a replacement for the inverter ... no CMOS. The VexUs circuit is on line ... previous page. I will try and sketch the voltage multiplier ... Aaron posted this long ago but I'll find it and refer to it ... it's just large caps for the power demand. Give me a little time and I'll get a list together all in one post.

    Bill's Nexus circuit in vehicle update_3

    Well I'm sorry to say that I do not have any mileage numbers to post. I still wound up having an issue with the cross talk, so I disconnected the circuit for a couple of days until I had time to resolve the issue. As of right now, with the the few days of testing I have been able to accomplish successfully, I do not feel very confident that there is an increase in MPG. There might actually be a decrease, but I do not want to speculate until I have been able to consume an entire tank of fuel with the plasma spark on.

    As you know I previously switched to two HV diodes in parallel instead of the series string of 15 diodes and still experienced cross talk after a day of driving. So I tested the diodes by removing the plug wire from the plug and ran a wire out of the diode and gave it a close spark gap to ground to see if it would arc. With a single HV diode it arced very easily. So I daisy chained more of them in series until I had four and this eliminated the spark. Now I have four HV diodes in series going to each plug wire at the distributor cap. I do not think that I will see this issue again.

    On a good note, I received my DC clamp on amp meter and performed some measurements on the inverter draw on the battery. I have the inverter and isolation tranny installed inside the vehicle on the passenger floor board so I do not have any RF issues with my meter. The inverter is only drawing 0.8 to 1.2 amps from the battery. I tested it while idling and revving the engine, and also as I was driving on the highway at 70 mph. The max amp draw that I saw was 1.2 amps!!

    I also monitored the O2 sensor last night for a little over a half hour while the vehicle was idling in the driveway. The sensor definitely goes to a lean state when the plasma spark is on. This tells me two thing: 1) The sensor can be manipulated if there is no mileage increase and possibly substituted with water injection. 2) That the plasma is definitely providing us with a more complete burn of the fuel mixture!!

    I will post a photo and any additional info tonight after my return trip at the end of the day.

    Until then,


    Lapper

    Hi guys.
    I think Ansis Freimanis is right to a certain point. Any CDI can be made to have plasma sparks. In fact, a plasma generator is a modified CDI. It is indeed a Capacitor Discharge Ignition.
    The diference is that in plasma generators the energy stored in the capacitor discharges directly on the sparkplug and is triggered by a HV spark. In a normal CDI, the energy discharges only on the primary winding of the ignition coil.
    Another diference is that plasma spark manages to "explode" water, while the regular spark seems to be diminished by the water.
    In fact, I don't know if we can speak about the "explosion" or "implosion", as those are processes that might need a more profound examination/measurements. The fact is that we can observe the increasing of the light and sound intensity of the plasma spark while it runs in a water vapour/mist environment, whatever those behaviour modification might be.
    Well, this is what I understand right now, but it is very probable that others may understand more.
    I would have liked to post a little about gaining mpg, but one of my diode strings have "burned"... It was a 25 X 1N4007 diode string... I still must find a better diode type to endure. Some of the diodes You use are not available in my country, at least in my town yet. I runned my car with 2 (out of 3) spark plugs with plasma, discharging about 80-117mj each time, for a day or so. No amazing improvement of the engine behaviour... Only it seemed to have a little more power at low rpm. And... some "electronic parasites" occured while listening to the FM radio station.
    Maybe I should have adjusted the timing, but I had no time for that.
    Nice work, Greg! Make that Bug fly!
    All the best.

    Thank, You. I hope MPG tests will be successful too.

    pre-installation

    Hi everyone,

    I finished mounting the hardware and here is a pic of the mounting panel I use to hold my stuff.

    On the left is the 24 Watt support oscillator. Far right is the voltage multiplier that supplies 400 VDC to 350 VDC from 0-RPM to 3,500-RPM. The numbers are slightly different than from the bench ... to be expected though. Between them is the power supply cap (may not need it). Above the oscillator is the 500 Ohm anodized aluminum power resistor (current limiter / charge resistor). To the right of that there's a terminal strip and at the top is a 3 uF HV cap. No more storage cap because the multiplier serves that purpose.

    I plopped it in, plugged it in and went for a 45 mile trip on the back roads. Wound the engine out, lugged it and ran it normal ... the whole nine yards. I hooked up the scope and got the typical discharge curve I've already posted. Getting ready for a water vapor test now .......... FINALLY !!!

    Peace,

    Greg

    @ Ansis

    I am a mechanic, by trade, and have seen the CDI systems for sale by the various manufacturers of them. Many that have experience with these CDI systems will tell you, they are junk! They fail on a regular basis, are expensive to purchase and have installed..........and BTW, their spark is NOTHING like ours, I can tell you this first hand! They use a multi-spark that only works to a certain rpm. If we have enough energy, as we do, we only need one spark. My V-8 circuit will run stable at 5,800 rpm, for a fact. Anyway, there's my two cents worth..............................Mike

    The circuit you posted is a typical CDI circuit, the one from gregs can be called a TCI (with no transistor if you like it that way ) with a HV supply added to create the plasma effect, if that make sense.
