Important Truckers Forum Notice!

Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

Vexus w/ no inverter

Efforts are on to keep simplifying the circuit
Here is the Vexus redesigned to eliminate need for inverter
by using a simple oscillator

The pressure tests make perfect sense. Compressed air condenses any moisture that might be present. This explains the increased intensity of the plasma burn. You'll notice that any air compressor tank has a valve driain on it to release the build up of water over time. Also, any trucker knows that over time you have to drain your air tanks due to the build up of moisture to prevent your brake lines from freezing in the winter.

This physical property should be considered when calibrating the amount of water to add to a plasma system...By the way, very cool videos, thanks for your insight.

25W 60W 100W Resistance test

This circuit (Thailand) is slightly different from the others and is being tested
for the effects of how much resistance is allowed in the circuit by swapping out bulbs as the load, and using a 250W inverter as the power source.

Ok, so is it safe to conclude that an increase in resistance equals an increase in pulse rate....?

P.S. Golden, what line of work are you in, and are you attending the CEMA convention in Vegas this week...? Just curious.

So is the resistance added in on the a/c side of the circuit? Asking because I just got my bench test working today and now my mind is just racing with new ideas on how to play with this stuff. Golden...I blame you. LOL

So I had to go back a design an in-line drier for the HHO generator. Currently it is working very well. With the drier, am able to maintain my elevated mileage for hundreds of miles on end, (occupation, truck driver).

Everything I'm learning about the HHO generator from the Semi I am applying to my family car as well. The truck gives me great opportunity to perform long test in very short time.

So here's my question. Could I theoretically run plasma plugs in my car along with the HHO generator without the in-line drier and intentionally feed water vapor rich HHO Gas into the combustion chamber and produce expotential gains from both????

Curious about what you think,

Hey, mate; what sort of improvement did you get and is it consistent?

I'm thinking of jumping on this bandwagon with one of my personal cars at first...Also, depending on how "open" the parameters are, I might include it in my final Engineering Project next semester (2-year Mechanical Engineering diploma)....It will feed an automotive turbocharger-based Gas Turbine engine.

Prouder to be an EX-trucker than I ever was while doing it....

That show is sorely missed 'round these parts!
