EDIT-i have changed the title of the thread as stated now.As some may know,i carried out some experiments on arc heating some time back.
Back then it was nicknamed !cold fusion!,although an incorrect description of what was happening.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJQ1RAznwgwA few days ago,member Duncan posted a video on another thread showing this MagneGas production.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjRhcX-QUYESo the plan here is to combine the two,where not only do we created heat (a waste product in the MagneGas system),but at the same time,produce the combustible MagneGas.
This gas is claimed to be more energy dense than LPG,and burns 4000*C hotter than Acetylene,while also requiring less volume to do so.
It can be produced using almost any waste liquid product,although here i will be using just water.
The required system voltage is between 30 and 50 volts DC--so well within our range.
Carbon rods are also required as the electrode's ,but they are an easy find--do you know where?
So,here is my plan.
I intend to make the simple setup shown in the second video,which is not that much different than the DUT i used in my test's. Not only will i be calculating the watt hours used to heat a set volume of water,but at the same time also producing the MagneGas.
As was calculated in my testing,the watt hours needed to raise the temperature of a given volume of water,ended in a near unity result-as it should,as we were just heating water by way of resistive heating-and some other small effects that may or may not have been there. The point is,if the same results can be had with the MagneGas setup,where we can raise the temperature of a given volume of water,at a 1:1 ratio of the power delivered to the system,but also produce a flammable gas to do useful work,i think this may just tip the scale's in favor of a COP>1 result.
My only concern is-how much of the carbon rods will be consumed in the process.
The carbon rods will of course be obtained from old non rechargeable batteries.
Evolvingape will be helping out on this one as well,as his hhop system has much to offer here i feel.
MagneGas is safe to compress to high pressures,which means it can be stored efficiently,and used to provide fuel for many systems.
It also has lower Co2 emissions than any other fossil fuel out there,and produces oxygen when burnt.
The fact that is uses a DC current,makes this fuel directly producible from solar panels.
So at the end of the day,you could be producing fuel free of charge-except the cost of the carbon rod's,and that will depend on how much of the carbon is consumed in the process.
More info to come as i find it.
