Hi Lann,
Yes, i had another look at that circuit.
It is excessively complicated for what it has to do.
I saw nothing to generate high voltages either.
If you expect to resonate the Oxy/Hydro molecules,
i think you will need very, very precise frequency control.
I don't know that large discharge currents will be necessary,
but then i have never tried this.
What i have seen is early lasers focused to a point in
the air in front of them, and this can cause the molecules
of air to explode. A single molecule causes a loud 'snap'
like a whip-crack. At least thats what they told me it was.
For all i know it could have been a bit of dust in the air
bursting. I was quite impressed.
I would expect to excite the Oxy/Hydro molecules with rapid
spikes, but as i say you would need very precise frequency
control. I saw nothing in that circuit (fig 5) to give that.
Still, i haven't tried it, maybe frequency control is not
as important as i think.
You will have to experiment yourself. Use stainless steel
where you can, and carbon rods where you cant, other stuff
will give problems due to the exchange of molecules from
current flow, usually shows up as a dirty mess.
As small bubbles form on the surface, you can 'pop' them
with a cigarette lighter, they pop with a light blue-ish
flame. Well mine did years ago, but i wasn't looking for
the gas, i was trying to get rid of it. Unsuccessfully.
You really should have some experience to put together
an arrangement like this, try to get the help of someone
who has done this sort of thing before. Or you could
wing it, and get help if you get stuck. You might be lucky.
Don't forget hydrogen is a highly volatile gas, and it doesn't
just float in air, it can waft around in little pockets
and give unexpected problems. Oxygen is also a troublesome
commodity, while not itself inflammable, it kinda 'soaks'
into other stuff, that then turns into 'solid rocket fuel'
so be really careful with it.
The first time you see what rate of gas comes from your
set-up, if it is more than the gas given off by a battery on
charge, then you are doing well.
After fiddling with your various settings, if you get much
gas coming off, i would be very interested. I have seen a
few assemblies like this, none of them have been any good.
This idea of 'resonating' the molecules into separation is
kinda reminiscent of the M.R.I. units. If that was possible
i would guess that a coil might do it easier.
In answer to your question 'What do i need to know ?'
You need practical experience and some understanding of the
circuit, or the close assistance of someone who has.
Thoughts on the circuit shown? ... well only fig 5 was
legible for me, the resolution was lost on the other two.
Yes, it would probably make the spikes as shown, whether or
not it would make gasses any better will have to be seen.
(better than just the battery on the electrodes)
I wish you the best of luck with it, John
