For those of you who have followed my discussions on the importance of "tuning" the tube sets to vibrate like a tuning fork
there are several inventors and experimenters that have followed this lead. Most notably Dave Lawton who mentions the
importance of attachments at nodal points such as 22.4% of length and Scott Cramton whose ground breaking work at
Laesa stress the use of notches to acoustically tune the tubes. This would be akin to tuning organ pipes or wind chimes.
While tube sets that vibrate may have an increased gas yield because of several factors such as:
1. Greater effective area of gas production because the gas bubbles are released from the surface or "sweep"
the inside surfaces upon rising within the tube.
2.Large bubbles do not have a chance to form and bridge the gap between the inner surface of the outer tube and
the outer surface of the inner tube, which in turn leads to greater variablity in the capacitance of the tube set.
3. Additionally, the constant release of small HHO bubbles due to acoustic release sets up conditions for a less
turbulent flow of the water and bubbles, a more steady state, where capacitance is likely to be more stable
and possible steady currents of water circulate with a gentle constant flow rather than the turbulent flow and surges
of bubble production seen with the Variable Plate Demonstration unit ,
4 Depending on relative ease that the tubes can vibrate in different axes x,y and z due to the type of mounting
"Z" spring and loose teflon mounting screws of Cramton or the "Inverted 7" springs of Meyers and xy dowels,
the rate of bubble release from the sides of the tube might be increased or retarded. Scot cautions not to over
tighten the teflon mounting screws. Therefore ,something may be occuring in the acoustic realm that is of importance.
NOW with all that being said what if the acoustic tuning is actually a means to another end, namely
the construction of essentially identical electronically equivalent parts. The acoustic adjustments that
are made may be one way of confirming that very small surface areas have been removed to ensure closer
tolerance on the individual tube set capacitances and that when all the tube sets are identical, matching XC
might easier for the individual tube as well as the entire tubular array.
In the cases where a PLL circuit is trying to lock onto a shifting capacitance in the later types of the Stanley Meyers
inventions, a capacitance that has a great deal of variablity during gas production is not desirable nor would
slightly different capacitances of the various tube sets as built be best for maximal or optimal gas production
in the later embodiments of Staney Meyer's inventions.
So the bottom line may be that while acoustics may play a role in increasing gas production, it is the care going
into making electrically identical tube sets that is paramount in the later Meyers devices.
