Suggested Modifictaions to Danforth Prototype 1
1. I recommend the placement of the electrodes at the bottom of the exciter tubes to reduce explosion risks
associated with electrical discharge near the HHO collection point.
2. As per Dr. Cramton's method, run the acoustics program and procedure for notch width and depth and keep < 5 hz difference
for individual tube pairs and as a whole.
3 Place cross bars within the smaller tubes for x-y stability to reduce the problem Stan had on turns.
(see attachment 4, ) The water slosh in hho container may have also been a factor in variable hho output upon
acceleration or deceleration
.
4 As per Dave Lawton's method,.move the disk supports closer to to nodal points, I would suggest bevel the inside contact points ...> <...
on the seven hole support discs for the smaller diameter tubes ( labelled B on page 19 of the prototype 1 doc)) or following
the lead of Dr Cramton, use teflon needle screw adjustments to hold tubes loosely with minimum damping contact.
5 Sandia24 asked me to tell you the piezo booster should be using first harmonic for best production and
to place the tube set at the focus of the parabolic trough reflector, main piezo on the large tube
plate, sync the main and booster piezos to prevent bfo's.introducing large osscilations in gas production.
Sandia24 also mentioned that the acoustic piezo frequency can be a harmonic of the gate pulse for the
electronic module.
6 A nice tweak from thorzpower was to use a thermistor to modifiy the piezo frequencies to account for the water
cooling effect.
7. hermann is putting PDMS in his cell as a defoaming agent but I think the nylon grid and/or floating glass spheres allow for
adequate bubble coalesence without introducing complications at the stainless/water interface. (If you have ever used
silicon grease on valves on labware, you will know what a job it is to remove ) The principle is one of providing a surface for the
smaller bubbles to grow to larger size. Thorzpower uses a fixed stainless oven or barbie scrubber for the same purpose and one of his
friends uses a 3M brand pot or grill scrubber. Floating beads reduce the amount of spray and splash at the surface. You may want to look at
modifying the scubber to float on the surface. Just as a small block of wood (say 12 cm by 12cm by 6 cm ) will suppress
sloshing of water in a pail, a floating porous matrix such as the beads, nylon grid or stainless scrubber would serve the dual purpose of
reducing spray and slosh while essentially acting as a mechaniclal defoamer.
The above mods should improve the rate of bubble release, thus increasing the effective area of bubble formation and HHO production..
Also the slosh and spray of the water surface is reduced
The more constant release of the bubbles should lead to more constant capacitance of the cell resulting in better control of the process.
Nice pix
q4arkiver4hho I agree ,1 5 1981 jaffna was bad culturally but not as bad as 14 2 1981 leningrad (Operation Alexandria) in terms of volume count, do you still have any contacts with the research librarians there?
q4arkiver4hho any progress on the MOD tapes? the indexing code looks right for the still in terms of date of acquisition and general format which puts it 30 days after the INCA
visit. However the image is from an earlier buggy testbed. Perhaps Stan gave the crew some background photos as part of the film's background research packet ?
q4queueseeeyes In your last meeting with C Cuvar what is the timeline for the VHS to DVD conversion for the estate vids or did it not come up?
