Light Water and Nickel

I spoke with M. Srinivasan at a reception at the Spring 2010 ACS meeting. I told him I was working on a replication of Tadahiko Mizuno's Plasma Electrolysis experiments. He remembered them. I really liked his attitude; he was very positive. He told me Nickel seems to work well with light water, whereas with heavy water, Palladium loads Deuterium well into the metal lattice. He said something to the effect of, "Try it out. Don't be afraid to make mistakes!" I was very inspired by his positive attitude.

My favorite presentations at the New Energy Technology symposium were those of Dr. Urutskoev and Dr. McKubre. I am interested in Urutskoev's work because he is showing generation of excess Hydrogen by discharging high-voltage capacitors through Titanium foils. He gave me his card; when I understand his work better, I will write to him and post an illumination of his research. McKubre gave a very clear presentation about the necessity of loading the metal with Deuterium at, if I remember correctly, at least 95% ratio of Deuterons to metal atoms. He also emphasized the importance of repeatedly loading and unloading the metal.

The meeting was very educational, and I highly recommend attending the next one Jan Marwan organizes. Thank you Dr. Marwan!

Alternator Rewire (Y-Configuration)




The second image is taken from Stanley Meyers' Patent on his Water Fuel Cell. The first image is my re-drawing of his schematic. It is an image of a car alternator, from which the diodes and voltage-regulator have been removed, with new circuitry attached. The three pairs of concentric circles are the stainless steel electrolysis electrodes. The three coils forming a Y in the center are the Stator. There are two ways to wire up a three-phase generator: Delta, and Y. This is for Y configuration. In a Delta configuration, the coils form a triangle.

The Rotor spins inside the Stator. Normally, in your car, a voltage is maintained on the Rotor coil, so that whatever RPM your engine is running at, the voltage induced in the Stator coils is a certain voltage (13.6 V?). Stan Meyers rewired an alternator so it would produce pulsed DC for electrolysis. He was feeding the Rotor coil a pulsed DC waveform which I have drawn at the bottom of the picture. As you can see, the wave is "Gated", or has a Duty Cycle of less than 100%. Waves like this are easy to generate with two 555 chips, where one is set to a high frequency, and the other a low frequency. The low frequency oscillator Gates the high frequency one. You can look at the waveform in the picture as a high frequency wave, which has been amplitude-modulated by a low frequency wave.

Dave Lawton published a simplified circuit based on Stan Meyers design.

Last Year at ACS

Important results associated with Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) were presented at two key scientific society meetings in March. The American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting “Session B16: Cold Fusion” was held on March 16, 2009 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The “Symposium on New Energy Technology” was held from March 22-24 as part of the 237th American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting & Exposition in Salt Lake City, Utah.
