 proton precession 'wobble' freqency as it realigns itself between new magnetic fields. At the UK latitude this wobble frequency is about 2 kHz. It did not look very promising.
The Capacitor fuel cell.
Myers basic fuel cell was basically very simple and consisted of a stainless steel tube inside a slightly larger one. Each two tube assembly formed a capacitor with plates insulated from each other. In order to increase the gas output of a cell he used several of these capacitors wired in parallel. This effectively multiplied the total capacitance of the cell. So far so good !. The next thing he did was to fill the cell with tap water, which he claimed had a high dielectric coefficient. Never having played with water capacitors before I was surprised that water has a dielectric coefficient of about 64. This has the effect of multiplying the effective capacity of the water capacitor by 64 ... very useful if we want to construct a cell that resonates at tens of kilo-hertz. The thing that really puzzled me was that he claimed to use tap water and not de-ionised water in his cells.
In order to experiment, I decided to make a copy of a Meyers fuel cell, infact I made four utilising different ideas. Here is one of them below.
I realised that if gas was being generated within a closed cell then the cell would become presurised, so I fitted it with a 0 - 30 PSI pressure gauge, so that I could measure what was happening. Since I would have to vacate the gas from the cell, it was also fitted with an on off tap and an output connection. The hydrogen oxygen mix in the cell would be explosive and I had in mind remotely burning it off. To prevent flame flash back into the cell, the output valve was fitted with a 0.8mm flash back arrestor orifice. In order to increase the capacitance of the cell it was fitted with six co-axial capacitors made of stainless steel. The two electrical terminals that connect to the capacitor plates are underneath the cell. You will notice that the gas that forms in the top of the cell, is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen as I have made no attempt to separate the two gases. The reason for this is that Meyer claimed that it was of the correct stoichiometric ratio for an internal combustion engine. In later patents he fed back some of the exhaust gas to increase the latitude of engine speed control.
Electronic excitation of the water capacitor.
According to Meyer, at resonance the voltage developed across the water capacitor .... ripped apart the water molecule. It was further suggested that thousands of volts AC were required at the resonant frequency as opposed to tens, or even hundreds of volts. No problem, if that was what the man wanted then I would produce an electronic pulse generator that could be tuned in the range 1kHz to 1mHz !. If some magic resonance existed ... I wanted to find it !. I still had no idea at that time whether the resonance Meyer's was talking about was in the water or the equipment. He simply said that when excitation of the water capacitor (and the external series inductor) was correct then the amount of gas produced would greatly increase and the excitation power greatly decrease. How could this be ?. One possible way was that when the gas rate increased, more of the gap between the capacitor plates became filled with insulating gas and not water, so the impedance of the cell would increase drawing less power from the excitation source. It also follows that as the water between the plates of the capacitor was displaced by gas, the capacitance value would change because gas has a much lower dielectric coefficient than water. This would in turn change the resonant frequency of the series cell and move it away from the excitation frequency. So in a practical circuit one would have to make the excitation frequency track the changing resonant frequency of the series water capacitor / series inductance, in order to get maximum power transfer. So my confidence in Mr Meyer was considerably enhanced when he obtained a patent to do just that !. He used a CMOS phase locked loop to do the trac
