Energy Research

I believe that the most expedient way to begin weening civilization from its voracious appetite for poisonous fossil fuels is to begin using in its place oxyhydrogen gas fuel derived from water.  With more then 300 million cubic miles of water on the surface of Earth’s, it is perhaps the most abundant substance on our planet.  Water is composed of  two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen making these gases when produced from the water a highly combustible gas mixture that can be employed as a limitless supply of clean fuel. Better still, the fuel is 100% harmonious with the world’s delicate ecosystems.

The problem at present is that brute force electrolysis technology requires more energy input then is yielded by the  derived gases and so water as fuel has not been considered a viable proposition. However, there were two men who (working independently) in the early 1980′s, began exploring  exotic means to dissociate the water molecule with very low power input requirements.

The man who first discovered this approach (and patented an apparatus for operating the effect) was Andrija Puharich. Interestingly, at the time Puharich filed his water fuel patent in June of 1981, he lived only a few miles from where I live today.  His patent was titled  ”A Method and Apparatus for Splitting Water Molecules”, which he was awarded on July 19th, 1983.

The patent may be downloaded from the link below:

The key elements of Puharich’s setup are connected in series:

1) some implementation to manage the waveform

2) an isolation transformer

3) an inductor

4) water fuel cell (a capacitor formed from partially insulated nickel plates with water as dielectric)

5) another inductor

Puharich’s water fuel cell (he referred to it as a Thermodynamic Device) was arranged as follows:

Puharich energized his cell with a low frequency AC signal (20Hz – 200Hz) on a higher AC carrier frequency (200Hz – 100,000Hz)  producing an amplitude modulated waveform. The specific frequencies are tuned so that the water cell is resonant with the Vss side inductor.

This waveform is rectified by the aqueous bath  as the polarity of the water increases over time through the operation of the cell.

Shortly after Puharich was awarded his patent, Stan Meyer began work along similar lines. I do not know for sure whether Meyer began his research after having read Puharich’s patent, but based on the chronology of the patent filing and the similarities in the basic approach, it seems likely that this was the case.

From 1983 until his death in 1998, Meyer was awarded more then 15 patents as he continually improved upon his version of the technology.

The clearest patent he filed on the technology may be downloaded here:

As with Puharich, the key elements of Meyer’s setup are  connected in series:

1) some implementation to manage the energization waveform

2) an isolation transformer

3) an inductor

4) water fuel cell (a capacitor formed from 304L stainless steel coaxial tubes with water as dielectric)

5) another inductor

6) a “blocking” diode

Meyer’s water fuel cell was arranged as follows:

Meyer energized his cell with two square wave frequencies;  a higher frequency which was tuned to bring about electrical resonance between the water cell (a capacitor) and the Vss side inductor and a lower square wave frequency used to gate the resonant frequency at regular intervals. The resulting waveform thus is a train of square pulses followed by a constant off-period.

Below is a diagram showing how Meyer used this waveform to step charge the water cell (capacitor) to such a degree that the water molecules are in a sense “winched” apart by the strong orientation effect of the increasing electrostatic field.

The result is a voltage-only effect that uses strong polarity to weaken and dissolve the covalent bond of the water molecule and thus produces oxygen and hydrogen gas fuel.

Of the two approaches, I believe that Meyer’s is the more succinct path and so I have spent a a good deal of time over the years attempting to replicate  his work.

Below are measurements of the capacitance, resistance (and impedance) of the water capacitor in both dry and submerged states at various frequencies. See below:

Below is a picture of the WFC mounted in tap water.

Here is a view of an array of 5 tubes.

(Note: I have not included the CRZ characteristics for the 5 tube array in this article)

In the following test, these frequencies were used.

The input waveform was a DC square wave pulse rising to 8 Volts. The current measured moving through the circuit was 0.05 amps.

The waveform output on the water capacitor looks like this:

Note that the step charges on the water capacitor rose in this test to 715 volts!

With this level of cell performance,  I was able make light gas production using  no more than 1.5 watts (conservatively) consumed.

The oxyhydrogen gas in the video above is being produced by a voltage-only effect in the water capacitor in just the way that Meyer describes it in his patent.

Here is a blog post of mine about the circuit you can use to achieve this effect:

Here also are a few videos of Stan Meyer discussing his technology at length. I have produced full transcripts of these videos as I believe they really are worth your time and attention.

Several years ago I started a Yahoo Group for the purpose of finding others interested in this line of research and collaborating with them. Ive met some really talented people through the group.

Anyone interested in this technology should consider joining this group.

More to come on this subject as I continue to advance the work.
