ok thanks, Stan had a way of thinking, i will give some though to what might be the work function of the ss and what might be limits, for within the work zone are both the reflective surfaces and the polarised eletrodes.....
for my mind is looking at the figure 4-6 of the ambient air ionizer wondering what might be any significance to the drawn curve over the length of the positive and negative voltage zones, and if the colour of the led's were chosen to, say be red, so a limited amount of effort by the led's is put into the molecules - for what if more energy was put in by the led's in the voltage zone than needed or intended, might it produce something more than required or wanted....perhaps the thinking was to limit the energy influence of the led's in that zone to say prevent an ignition there thus limiting the work function of the s/s? that would be keeping with stans views on kiss, safety, regulatory compliance and end result engineering.
im neither a scientist nor skilled electrical, physics nor mechanical engineer, the reasons im putting thought to this is to work out what is a practical and useful way to actually make such a device and to use it in the near future rather than spend a lot of time effort money and energy on just the wfc my thoughts think there needs to be another step taken to make something practically useful- not a criticism at all but ive done a lot of reading over several forums and manuals and a lot of effort i see is still at the WFC and resonant choke stages. While there are brilliant and skilled people putting their valuable effort there, i want to find a way to understand what is required so a gas processor can be simply made to work, whether it be on an engine using a wfc or not.
cheers
