Regarding hydro's question on Stan's alternator. According to this guy Kevin who runs this site waterforfuel.com
http://waterforfuel.com/partners.htmlStanley used a Delco Remy Alternator according to the guy who owns the site above. He also sells them but I am sure one can find a cheap Delco Remy alternator. (May be he is telling that to everyone because he wants to sell his alternators I do not know, but there is also the chance that he is right and Stan did use a Delco remy alternator.)
Regarding salt: Hydro, the reason you are getting a ton of brown scum is the chlorine in salt that reacts with the iorn. Most people who have experimented by now would notice that even a clean set of 'conditioned' tubes will eventually turn tap water slighly orangish after a while. That is the small amount of chlorine in the tap water which I think forms ferric chloride a brown solution which is acidic in nature and will corrode the steel. You will notice this especially near the connection wires and screws on the cell.
Heat generation in the cell:
If his tall demo cell consumed 20 amps, the claims that his cell ran cold are not true then? I know for a fact the outside of my cell remains cool for about 10 minutes when i plug it straight to my 12 volt DC power supply before warming. Could stan have used that ruse?
Are there any documents out there that has actual proof that stan's cell ran cold for hours?
Secret Electrolyte:
Stan's major claim was that his method does not use electrolytes, could he have been blatantly dishonest about that...I doubt but given the fact that he never openly mentions the word stator or rotor or alternator in any of his patents, he could have been using an electrolyte. His water does turn reddish brown according to the wireless world article.
Series cell: Yes this is my other great doubt. Has anyone tried series connections. Bob boyce is series. Kumaran I think I read in this forum or at another one I am not sure has achieved 94% effeciency with alternator and electrolyte...and series cell??? so yes it would be really great if Kumaran would post his schematic in this thread.
Stator windings:
According to stans gas generator voltage control cirucit patent:
http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=4798661a single set of tubes connect to each of the stator windings, not two as stevie mentioned. I am bringing this up because, stan's brother Steve meyers patent:
has the exact same set up as Stan's gas generator voltage control circuit patentt, except steve meyer uses 3 tubes, the one in the middle being 0 or reference voltage.
He uses two alternators...total 6 stator windings..each supplying power to 6 cell arrays. (Each array has 3 tubes)
That means each array of 3 tubes in Steve Meyers patent and 2 tubes in stan meyers patent above is supplied with rectified single phase DC?
There is no pulsing of the rotor in steve meyers patent, and there is also a cooling system to prevent the cell from getting hot. So I am guessing his system is not OU.
So the final question that is still lingering is....was Stan's method OU or not?
