Water Sparkplug

[gotoluc]

Hi jstadwater,

LapperL is right! those are not your secondary leads. Above those leads is a single connector, that is one side of the secondary and the other side is the metal frame of the transformer. Use the frame for negative and one microwave diode on the connector >l to capacitor to get positive and you will charge a capacitor. This " >l " is the diode direction. Keep a dc voltage meter on the cap to make sure not to go over voltage or else BANG.

Play safe

reasoning for the choke

Hi tstorey,

in case you mist it I posted Aaron's video at OU and below is a reply from user name: Sparks

There is so much mass in the choke coil that the voltage says screw it I'm gonna flow along the surface like wave energy flows along the surface of the ocean. The voltage still gets to the sparkgap but it comes in the form of a wave instead of slow flow. In electrical terms the transient current is suppressed by the choke. Since the discharge technique employed results in mostly transient current we get voltage to the load not requiring current flow through the conductor. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light whereas electrical currents flow millimeters per second. I like speed.
Meyer used chokes on both sides of his hho gas generator. This was to make sure that the wave fronts appear across the spark gap/capacitor/fuelcell/etc. to maximize charge seperation.

Hi Gotoluc,

I took the idea of this choke in this position from Meyer's circuit. My original reasoning that led me to try this was if the plasma is imploding and recombining, I could prevent the recombination if there are no or fewer electrons that are available for recombination...offsetting the voltage/current ratio...so with the choke limiting current, I could get the effect and get a real explosion.

Anyway, that was my original thoughts. I was very surprised when I did it and it was literally silent.

Guys, finally got to do some testing, here is the Smacks attached to the Brigg's genset running in the first test.

Here is the spark that's has us all captivated getting ready for testing, Video and test results coming.

Almost got the Smack and spark working, so some one can still beat us Be ALLOT more fun is you guys were there

Thanks Aaron for explaining the reasoning of your test. I did some test today using my basic circuit and a heavy gauge inductor as choke which was just a MOT primary but no core (Air Core) and replicated the effect. It is very interesting to see the same reaction when water is sprayed but not much sound I also added a 1N4007 to see if I can collect some kick back energy from it and I was able to collect 43vdc in a 220uf cap with one spark pulse. The discharge cap was identical size and seems to give best results when both caps are the same uf value.

One interesting thing I noticed with the collection diode (directing positive to cap) is I tried it on each side of the choke and noticed that If it is on the Ground side of the choke (if the cap is empty) the spark sound comes back but gets less at each additional spark pulse as the cap fills up. Connected to the other side it was always the mostly silent spark but the cap did not fill much on additional spark pulses.

Interesting stuff

Vexus on SUV

Hi All,

YouTube - Plasma Ignition (Vexus) on SUV

Today I completed the setup of Vexus Plasma Booster on my SUV. Previously I have a problem on original Greg's setup. Greg connected the diodes to plug wire (distributor side), but with this setup I got no plasma effect on spark plug. Finally I connected the diodes to plug wire (plug head side) and I got the effect. I think we have to consider the wire resistant that restrict plasma discharging capasitor (current/voltage) to the spark.

I have increasing from 500 RPM (original spark) to 650 RPM (plasma bosster) in idling mode. I used only 47 uF 400 volt capasitor with still 100 watt bulb to restrict Amperege to the circuit.

Thank you,

Revizal.

Revizal thanks for video

Regulation of Right steering in Indonesia

I don't want to ruin your day or anything, but the steering wheel on your truck is on the wrong side. Be careful the cops may pull you over.


Tom

In my country Indonesia, there is regulation of Departement of Transportation to use right steering in a vehicle and always use the left side of the road on driving instead of in the Europe and USA or other country.

If you visit my country you will find all the vehicle use the right steering like my SUV.

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks REV!!, you have given us confidence to try it on our Toyota cab with the hydroxy booster
tstorey, they have other wheel drives in other countries.

Based on request, here is my setup on the SUV and some pictures.
Hopely this will help anybody who want to replicate it.

Hi revizal

Thanks for the clarification Bro, One paranoid request
can you take your distributor cap off, and check for wear for us please man
Thx

Great Job Revizal ,

please note that Greg is able to use his ignition wire to send the plasma because he changed them to non resistive stranded copper Ignition wires.

It is nice to see the RPM boost thanks for sharing that.

I have a request for you. Can you start experimenting on adding a small amount of Diesel to your gasoline since it has more energy content and could help to reduce fuel consumption and cost to you since Diesel is more available in your Country.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello revisal,

That's good news that you got it up and running!

In my posts and videos, I point out specifically, that my "plasma Kick" wires are hooked up directly to the ends of the spark plugs. This allows the use of original factory designed plug wires, and still obtain the plasma effect. I use 8mm MSD Super Conductor plug wires in my system, even those have too much resistence for the plasma effect to happen. I think non-resistor spark plugs, and hook directly to plug end, should become standard for ease of install and assure that plasma effect is easily obtained.

Keep on keeping on.......................................Mike

Ah yes, just a humor break gentlemen

I have lived in countries with right hand drive....I was making a funny.

Revizal can you estimate for me the amount voltage for each discharge?


Thanks in advance.

STILL....unhappy inverter!

My latest attemp to quiet the inverter was to change out the caps in my tripler circuit from 120uF down to 22uF (undesirable change, it dropped my plasma spark WAY down). It still will not handle the VexUs without starting to whine loudly within a couple minutes! I used an induction digital amp meter clamped over various feed wires while operating. It showed less than 2 amps being drawn from battery at any rpm. The readings on the feed wires from the inverter (after isolation transformer) to the tripler circuit were only .56 amps for either wire. Output after the tripler circuit only showed a .22 amp draw. I am having a hard time understanding why the inverter can't handle this small of a load! It is a 1000 watt inverter for pete's sake! I'm almost ready to try to tap the alternator for my high voltage. If I can't get reliable operation from this circuit using an inverter, it's time to FIND a source that will be reliable. The mentioned amp draw readings were taken while rotating distributor at 4,300 rpm, but the inverter only hangs on without "crying" at 2,200 rpm for a few minutes longer than the higher rpm. Anyone know the correct way to utilize the alternator tap before the regulator to set this up with that high voltage? Any help would be appreciated, I'm about to kick this inverter across the parking lot.

Thanks, Mike

[Jetijs]

Mike, could it be that the noise form your inverter is just the cooling fan turning ON? Those fans can make very annoying noises if they are full of dust. Also they are small and smaller fans need to operate at higher RPM's to get a decent air flow, that is why smaller fans are always louder.
