CN,It is plausible that you didnt hit the 410nm with those LEDS....I also seen your video. You are pointing the LEDS into the water.I think it is better to point the LEDS into the gastube on top of your cell.Just point on the GAS as close as possible.brSteve
Check this out!Click --> This red laser will burn your eyes out. Be careful.Will the red laser ignite the HHO gas?-------------------------------------------Here's a link to purchase the holder in the minimag. --> http://www.mfgcn.com/ (Just scroll down) They have some good prices, however, blue ray diodes cost $140.00 bucksHere's alternative source for blue ray diode lasers --> -------------------------------------------L.A.S.E.R. --> Light Amplicifation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.Basically you get a heavilly doped carrier which when stimulated will cause an electron to shift orbit around the atom, it cannot remain in this higher orbit so must drop back, as it does so the quantum shift dictates that the electron must release its excess energy, as energy cannot be created nor destroyed the energy is liberated as a function of the wavelength of the quantum leap itself generally a multiple of 1/4 or 1/2 the wavelength. Thus the excess energy is released as light. As the quantum jump is dictated purely by the atoms themselves and if the laser material is pure enough then the light will be all of one wavelength. Also built into the laser is a fully reflecting mirror on one end and a 50% reflecting mirror on another, this creates a standing wave inside the laser where light bounces back and forth inside the laser material. Due to these two effects the light is 1) Very pure and 2) In phase. As such it can and will cause retina damage if viewed directly even if the laser is not visible to the human eye. Low power lasers can cause lower damage but care should always be taken to observe strict precautions.Flag
just thinking out loud..........I have seen the youtube videos of plasma created in a microwave oven, obviously microwaved water just makes steam, but has anyone tried microwaving a very small quantity of hho gas........only a small quantity as you don't want to "blow the bloody doors off"..........or using some carbon with it as a catalyste to excite the HO to break its bonds
Can you please explain a little further………..reading up about ultraviolet light I understand that electromagnetic radiation has more energy the shorter its wave length. UV in the upper atmosphere collides and causes oxygen to form into ozone. A statement I found on wikipedia says that uv light with an energy of 10 electron volts or higher, “ are collectively called ionizing radiation since the energy in any such light quantum is high enough to 'kick' an electron out of an atom” however the only available uv light source I can find are from mercury lamps at 247nm, about 7 electron volts, too low to be classed as ionizing. To produce higher frequencies needs massive investment….Ref: http://arstechnica.com/journals/science.ars/2008/01/28/bright-future-for-extreme-ultraviolet-lightsyour leds appear to be only 5 electron volts at 410nm so not enough, 100nm wave length would be needed to achieve 10 e volts..............i don't understand !!! please help.......
Question………from what I now understand the energy level of the electron can be increased as you are trying but apparently the effect is not long lasting…..how long ?I thought I read in your posts that you would expect the colour of the energised gas to appear red / pink……I can’t find that statement now, but I believe the colour change would only appear if the hydrogen atoms had actually been ionised and lost its electron.
