Hi all.  Been a while.

Here's a basic question to think about...

What REALLY is the water fuel cell?

Answers please ...

Let me go a little further with the first question...

It's not a basic capacitor.  How would you draw it as a schematic...

Really?  Nobody wants to take a stab at this? 😂

Come on guys, I'm trying to make a point...

Doesn't the WFC behave sort of like this?

What is this?

This is the target frequency people.

I dont think so.

2 plates spaced by a water dielectric behaves like a resistor. You can frequency sweep it from DC to 1 GHz and see no changes in voltage/current/gas generation, thats not the behaviour of a capacitor used in a LC tuned circuit. Stan even says that in the WFC memo, that the water will become part of the circuit in form of resistance.
When you energize this kind of reactor, the voltage that develops across it, is the product of RxI, nothing more, and you get pure electrolysis only.

All you can do is increase the reactor impedance, to get a higher V/I ratio, and therefore rip the water molecule with less current. You cannot reach resonance with an inductor in series with a resistor.

In my opinion, this voltage ripping the molecule apart, only works in a very small scale, thats why he moved to the injectors.

I feel like timeshell is correct... You have resistance and reactance in the cell this is why it will never behave like a conventional LC tank circuit..  Its over damped cause of the existence of R in the cell.. Makes it s parallel RC circuit of sorts..
But in this case the R exist in the same space as C. they are in the same component..

When I have done test with a lcz meter on a cell it DOES NOT behave like you would want it to match the idea of parallel RC.. Its actually inversed.. You would think that as freq increased the phase angle would increase and the cell would pass more power into the reactive component and less power into the resistive component of the cell.. But based on the lcz meter this is opposite.. It shows the phase angle increases as you lower the frequency. The capacitance value of the cell increases a lot as you lower the frequency as well.. which is not normal for a pure capacitor to do.

A pure capacitor having a pure dielectric would maintain close tolerance of capacitance reading at all test freqs. Spring water does not.

The only thoughts I can come up with this situation is that this parallel RC has another feature that differs from a conventional parallel RC circuit. It is a liquid dielectric with electrolytes. This allows for things like a hemholtz layer to form on the electrode... A form of electrochemical storage of power with the ionic contaminates occurs they refer to as pseudo capacitance.

Pseudo capacitance  may be what the LCZ meter is presenting as I lowered the test frequency.. The lower frequency would allow more time for ion collection to occur at the electrodes during the test. also a false appearance of increased capacitance.

A water cell has a poor power factor.. There are losses in it from resistance but if there is a way to produce a great amount of fuel with a poor power factor that's ok because this capacitor is not just a capacitor for storing and processing power in a circuit. Its a material processor as well. Its expected to have some losses and consume energy in the production of fuel.

Just sweep your cell from DC to 1GHz monitoring current and voltage, absolutely no phase shift between them, using a power sweep, 100V DC at least. It`s a resistor. You`ll never get "pure voltage potential" in a resistor to split the water. And dont forget to use a carbon resistor as a current shunt for current measurement, wire resistors give false readings.

just my two cents on this technology is that the wfc always returns some voltage / current, when you switch the power off.
It acts a bit as a capacitor.
If you can pick up that charge then your second pulse will be maximum twice the voltage as then your powersupply is giving...
