today I did some gasoutput tests.
They are done with the famous bottle upsidedown filled with water.

The first test was done with strait dc  = gasoutput 0.25 liter per minute
Second test with alternator                 = gasoutput 0.32 liter per minute

How many amps did the ampeater eat?

mL produced / minutes / watts (volts x amps applied, average for time of run)

mL/min/watt is the metric I like to use to quantify output.  This is a straightforward approach to cell quantification.   Ain't foolproof, but gives a picture of what yer doin'.

The best I've done yet is 4.2 m/m/w.

It be interesting to ck yer numbers.

Thanks,

Turtle, still testing

Hi keithturtle,

Steve's cell efficient as below :

Test 1 (with straight DC)
Volt : 12
Amps : 18
LPM : 0.25
Efficiency (Wh/L) : 14.40
Efficiency (mL/W/H) : 69.44
Percentage compared to Faraday : 16.33%

Test 2 (with alternator)
Volt : 20
Amps : 21
LPM : 0.32
Efficiency (Wh/L) : 21.88
Efficiency (mL/W/H) : 45.71
Percentage compared to Faraday : 10.75%

Thanks for the numbers... we still have a ways to go.

We have, Turtle, we have.

As I said, i do not use KOH.


Listen all of you: My alternator used on my like 8V and 3 amps. What I published on the excelsheet was what went into the WFC.
So, what is the reall powerconsumption?

Hi all,


Its getting better and better   

The interesting thing is that the WFC is producing almost always the same gas output...(0.25ltr/minute) (except with alternator 0.32l/m) . Only the power to get it, changes.

My results are so far:

Test 1 (with straight DC)
Volt : 12
Amps : 18
LPM : 0.25
Efficiency (Wh/L) : 14.40
Efficiency (mL/W/H) : 69.44
Percentage compared to Faraday : 16.33%

Test 2 (with alternator)
Volt : 20
Amps : 21
LPM : 0.32
Efficiency (Wh/L) : 21.88
Efficiency (mL/W/H) : 45.71
Percentage compared to Faraday : 10.75%

Test 3 (with SSRelais, 1khz pulsing and coil in parallel with WFC)
Volt : 12
Amps : 6.0 !!!!!!
LPM : 0.25
Efficiency (Wh/L) : 4,8
Efficiency (mL/W/H) : 208,33
Percentage compared to Faraday : 49%

It is such a good feeling that I am beating strait DC with big numbers at this moment.
I have now a very good direction for futher developing efficiency!

Keep at it , man... we'll git there!

That's EXCELLENT!   
Can you maybe post a schematic of the complete setup?
If you don't mind, I would love to give it a try myself.....
