Vacuum and heating a WFC

<< < (2/4) > >>

CarbedNotch:
I think if you pull too much vacuum, the water will boil inbetween the plates/tubes because of the electrolosys process. Its sweetspot would be just before the water boils. The water dosent seem to boil when its UNDER 15" of merc.

Cn,

can you confirm that the extra bubbles are just vapour?

What kind of vacuum pump? Try this: Impact Instrumentation (Caldwell, N.J.) MDL # E-12, 12 vdc, 8.0 amps. You'll need to put a pot on it to control the speed. It will pull over 30" HG. Used in ambulances for pure oxygen. Works great! Make sure you use reinforced tubing. Voltar

The gas that comes out the exhaust of the vacuum pump are weak gasses. About as powerful as a Bic Lighter.
No popping sounds when lit.  Just a dull red flame that wont stay lit on its own. It just affects the lighter flame... Maybe this gas will work good in the plasma arc accelerator??

That sounds like the one to get.   The pot is a good idea to regulate the suction flow rate. I have a regulator on mine which lets air into the system in order to regulate the vacuum. But this mixes lots of ambient air into the charge.
