i believe you want to read this paper entirely
450kv in a watercapacitor and no bubbles...
Bang....Meyers patents are blown away
in my way of view not necessaryly but it tells us a very different story about how the water capacitor work!
i found out that when meyer mention in the patent the resonant charging choke having 100turns he was actually meaning it
i found that the calculated cell is around 100pf capacitance maybe a little lower
in my records i got some readings of cell capacitance over 2000ohms using pump and filter recirculating the water in the big cell with 11 electrodes
this mean that if i want it to get 40kv pulse into it i need to give 20amps to it somehow
the cell will be charged with the same voltage as the pulse forming network that is a coil in parallel with it
the lie in the patent is about the 36awg secondary wire because we need to get amps into it otherwise the timescale is very slowwww
in those documents it became clear to me that if we want to really make a damage to water we need to discharge it with high voltage pulse very sharp to get the ions balistical collision
so say you get 100 turns in sequence... if the wire wistand up to 1kv per turn it could reach 100kv without discharge in itself
lets say with 100 turns is possible to reach 20kv with safe
with 250uh and a repetition rate of 10khz with 50v as charging input source
the circuit will discharge 10k 50miliJoules pulses to water and also charge water to 50v during the rest of the step for example makes
50v / 2000 Ohms = 25 ma
it would be the leakage current on water for example while the inductor will act as a short circuit and within 100us will rise the current up to 20amps
the input circuit will need to collapse to get the voltage real that high
when the switch is open the current will change direction at the secondary and the diode wont let the choke to see the transformer as a nice small impedance so it will develop real high voltage as the secondary will follow it
the main idea is to use both sides of the coin
when we apply power to a flyback transformer it will deliver the power only during the discharge cycle
in meyer charging choke he charge them during the pulse on and when the pulse interrupt the secondary and choke works side by side to discharge into water the energy
i believe is necessary in this case to use a bunch of tvs diodes in parallel and a high voltage high amperage diode together maybe up to 10 to handle 40amps and a good high voltage and amperage diode too to split the job
the tvs will only start conduct when the voltage of the secondary collapse is higher than its value in the closed circuit between the secondary and choke (in parallel with the cell (both after the diodes) )
the idea is to use the secondary energy to form the high voltage pulse...
the chokes must handle the amperage
i believe 14awg would be good start
also for the secondary
the chokes may be air core maybe a good idea to make a toroidal resin coil former without core! or with powerder iron core
ferrite core will not discharge as fast as needed for this applications
air core is the best choice toroidal even better
so for the input transformer is ok to use ferrite as it will reduce the number of required turns the input frequency ex 10khz is a good starting point as is easy to design a transformer for this operation
but is probably nicer to use maybe two transformer or complete two choke systems to have continuous pulse during pulse off
multiphasing like biphasic for example
triphase is possible too and multiple phase
so lets say we pulse it with 12v and have a step up of 4 it gives 48v 20amps so20 times 4 is 80 amps so the primaries will be seeing 80 amps during the charge time as the charge cycle is linear increasing and only half cycle the average will be less than 40 however the peak is 80 just before turning it off .. this makes clear that making the primary part of the pulsing circuit as well is a hell of a good idea if used wisely
its certainly better than waste it on the primary side
is possible to wire the primary in series with the secondary in boost mode
this reduce the need of the secondary to make the all conduction of the amps thru the core who knows
of course is possible to use regenerative feedback and may be used for help protecting the switch but ideally the power we want in the water not burning components or heating them elsewhere in the circuit
im sure that those patents have lots of inconsistencies on purpose as many as possible i read too many and after all he was patenting something he already new was already patented and he only improoved it but could not patent the numbers again so he mention all the patents he improved
i would like to be in more confort situation to make this tests but i´m with no money at all and currently without water pump on my filter
i´m working hard to get finances better so i can have some peace to work on it
