Experiments with The Dallas_Gold_Bug Electrodes
|
Please, clic on the images to get them enlarged. |
I'm testing the "5 Level Twister
HHO Electrode" device.
It
works fine!
For the moment, I'm not able to measure the gaz volume produced. Before that, I have to build the 'container' and to figure out how to fix the electrode. I have all the stuff notably one transparent acrylic tube.
What I have done is:
1) Testing the device with tap water
(*not* distiled water).
I could see some amazing 'Alka-Selzer'
effect (the bubbling are 'huge' and not 'stuck' but free to
move 'up'). My amp consumption was about 4 amps. I had already tested a
stainless steel parallel plates bl' gizmo and could not see this
behavior. The bubbling were not so 'huge' an desperatly 'glued' on the
plates.
2) Testing the device with tap water
and "bakin soda" as electrolyte.
I guess I was too generous as I
could not see anything but a very fuzzy seething mess :)).
My amp consumption was about 16 amps (too much, IMHO).
3) Testing the device with tap water
and less "bakin soda" as electrolyte.
Here we
are: a real "DallasGB's Alka-Selzer Effect" (TM)!
(With
a mere 12 V bat)
Amps consumption: about 6/7
amps. I'm looking forward to being able to measure le volume of gaz produced.
4) Testing the device with the same
mixture but with the Dave Lawton circuit (V1):
I could also got very interesting
results. My amp consumption was between 2 amps and 5 amps (depending
on the freq). Actually this circuit is too complicated for figuring out
anything. Too many potentiometers!!!
| Actually, the amp comsumption (and the gaz volume, BTW - (as far as
I only can see it for the moment )) - is not depending
on the frequence but only depending on the duty cycle.
It
sounds
like this device were preferering DC current!
Of course, it works with square pulses but only with a huge duty clycle (97% or more). In fact, I was puzzled by all these 'Lawton circuits' which are, IMHO, misleading. = when you think that you are tuning the frequency you are also 'tuning' (changing) the duty cycle and reciprocally! I have now tried a lot of frequencies and I could not 'see' (I'm not still measuring the gaz volume) any obvious change/improvement. |
Projected experiments:
a) Trying to find out the optimum
frequency with a more simple circuit. For example:
| Please, see previous comments.
I slightly modified this circuit to get the duty clycle tuning more independant upon the freq. tuning but I could not ascertain any 'prefered frequency'. What I have figured out is that these 555 are not so 'professional'. I'm planing to purchase a serious frequency generator. |
b) Using the Lawton's Circuits V2 and V3 that are claimed to be more efficient. .

c) ASAP: building the container
to be able to get an accurate gaz volume production measurement.
| ASAP does not imply any precise agenda
to me.. :))
I ordered (in France), a 'couple' of weeks ago, a 50mm diameter
acrylic tube to build a 'bubbler'.
Anyway, some pictures of the devices (also) waiting for assembly.....:)) |
d) Making some pictures and even
a vid.
| My lab (mess) is in an -no more used- old kitchen!. Some pictures:
First of all, a (partial) view of my mess: The 5 Cups immersed.According to the wires, I'm not looking for huge amperage for the moment.
The 5 Cups 'plugged'. Baking soda as electolyte: |
What I also have tested:
Pluging my Peter Davey Heater(s) on a 12V
bat.
It also worked!
Amazing!
I got a lot of non 'gluing' (= free)
bubbles (but far less than with the 'DGB' device).
Pluging my Peter Davey Heaters on this Version
One (V1) Dave Lawton circuit:
It did not work!
Why? My guess is because the cups are too dense/thick
to be able to vibrate at the Dave Lawton circuit frequency.
Please notice that this device is intended to
be plugged on the power grid (220 vols/60 Hz in France or 110 volts/50
Hz in the US).
| Actually, I have, now, figured out that these 'Davey things'
also liked DC current to making electrolysis.
I'm also wondering wether this Meyer/Lawton circuits do not, in fact, use huge voltage. That is another story. Of course, I can be wrong (or unqualified) :((. I'm not saying that the Meyer device does not work. I'm just saying that I was not able to get anything with it. When I get my frequency generator, I do others testing. |
