>From what I can gather there needs to be a DC polarity of about 1000 or
1500 volts across the cell, and then a large
amplitude AC superimposed on it at around 14 or 43 Khz. With that much
voltage on the cell, the water needs to be a good
insulator, that is must be very pure.
Using tubing of .75 inch od and .06 thick wall, we end up with a surface
area of about 15 square inches for a 4 inch tube.
That works out to be about 100 square cm. The gap with a .5 OD inserted
will be about .2 inches or .5 cm. Taking
10*10^6 ohm-cm^2 (resistance of pure water) and multiplying by .5/100
gives us a resistance of 50K.
With a 50K resistance and 1000 to 1500 volts, that would introduce a
leakage current of 20 to 30 mA, so a minimum power
required would be 20 to 45 watts. So it appears that this is possible
with ultrapure water. I have checked store bought
distilled water and find that it can run from .1 to 3 umho. Most of
what I tested would not be pure enough to support the
voltage, so much of the lack of success MAY be related to the water not
being pure enough.
>From what I can gather, Meyers was using 26 volts at half an amp. That
works out to 13 watts. However if the 1000 volts
were the peak voltage instead of the average voltage, then the power
required would be about 1/4 as much, so it appears that it is possible
and that he must have been using extremely pure water in the device.

I have used about a year and a half researching Meyers Technology. I
have also had contact with a researcher at
Cambridge University who was trying to duplicate his experiments. I
have tried lots of different frequencies and
never gotten anything other than electrolysis. I gave up. I do think
it is still possible but for the system to work,
there must be total electrical isolation between the two terminals
where water is suspended. High voltage just
breaks down when the steel tubes (my system) have only water between
them. Meyers idea was to bounce the
water at a resonant frequency. It was never intended to PASS a
voltage through the water. I think we must think
of the water being stretched beyond cohesion with electro statics.
That is my best bet.

Has anyone successfully duplicated any of Meyer's electrolytic

http://www.rexresearch.com/meyerhy/meyerhy.htm#4936961 it has a
section that is reported to be
from Keelynet:
The pulse frequency was not printed, it is estimated from the
size of the coils and transformer that the
frequency doesn't exceed 50 Mhz. Don't depend on this being fact,
it's just a educated guess.
I wondering where this number came from.
I figure for the coil of 1 inch diameter, 1/2 inch length and 100
turns to be about 270 uH, and the
capacitance of 4" 1/2" tubing inserted inside 3/4 inch tubing to
be about 0.56 uF. That should have a
resonance of around 41 Khz.
Further down the resonant frequencies are listed as 14,372 Hz and
43,430 Hz, about 1/1,000 of the 50
Mhz. Since the 41 Khz and 43 Khz are very close together, I
suspect he was using the higher choice.
Has anyone done any experiments on this lately?
Thanks,
Marshall
