Stan Resonance finally cracked! by Sebosfato

[Hidden]

All right guys all caught up, my head hurts after all that reading.


Please post the latest schematic of your setup, I see the continued problem of mosfets, IGBT's, and transistors failing.


( I warn you I was never that great with transistors, but mosfets and IGBT's - bring them on!)


At resonance, parallel, your driving voltage will jump by PIE, so input X 3.14159 = mosfet drain source rating min.  The more Rds(on) you have the larger the heat sink needed.

I know I am late to input anything here, so sorry up front.


Your transistors seem to die because they are loosing power to the base, the resonance still stresses the collector and emitter.


So get a second supply for driving the base - also (for not seeing the setup) consider switching to mosfets and put a 12 volt ZD on the base ( edit base should say Gate) to ground.


I skipped most of this tread, as time is limited, I can see what you started saying about charging and discharging the cell itself.


Did you connect a wire to the outside of the cell (with foil around the outside cell?), I read the first few pages looking for a photo, then skipped to the last few pages, will get to the middle soon.

You had 80K volts across your cell??

Yes, 80,000 volts across this Tay Hee Hann (spelling ?) cell.


Also had a 20 x voltage multiplier inline with the X-former output.


Notice:
Epoxy coated secondary.
Epoxy built cell.
Alternating leads,
(Hot-Water-Ground)
(Ground-Water-Hot)
Etc...
also tried a single lead, (Hot-water-ground)


Silver wire connections.


1/16 inch water channel, stationary and moving water design/tested.


NOT one bubble produced.  So I built the cell in my projects section.
At 80 kv the field strength should have been 4.3 times greater than that of the water.


(not shown is my HV probe).

Have you tried to use a bias voltage/current?
Meaning having the watermols aligned with 1amp and then apply the hv?

[Hidden]

The direct water connected electrode idea was not tried.


I was having a difficult time keeping the gap even,  so I didn't want to mess up the setup.


I was planning on buying a milling machine for this project, but the "demo" failed, so I lost the need for it (for now).
