Hi Komtek,
I will change the plus and minus, during the tests.
The thin wire on the vid is negative.
I did change the polarity, but the flow of ions didnt change, strangly...
Need to do more tests.
Maybe wednesday, i can try it on the engine.
Steve
This is because of the charge density on the surfaces that is dependant on shape.
If you make a HV circuit with a pin on one pole and a large ball bearing on the other; there will be a higher concentration of charge in the pin than in the ball simply because there is more space for the charge to spread out on, in the ball bearing.
Ions will always flow from the pin (small surface area) to the ball (large surface area)
This is how you get to select what charge ends up in the air!
Check out this very interesting site too understand this better and for some great circuit diagrams! (with overload protection!
)
http://www.blazelabs.com/That reminds me Steve: Round the edges of your cylinders and sharpen your 'pins' to increase efficiency. the rounded surfaces should have a diameter of 3mm if I remember correctly.
As oxygen is a very electronegative atom I expect you to see better results with the negative on the pins:
This will add the electrons the oxygen craves so that it will not want to steal the hydrogen's electrons by recombining with it.
PS:
If you run an engine on HHO alone your exhaust gas will be steam.
You will be better off using water mist to slow combustion: It's cooler!
If you use HHO and air you will get NOx as HHO burns even hotter than petrol.
You got a NOx cat lying around by any chance?...
