My experiments - conclusion

[Chris]

Hello

I think the principle that I was using is correct but that I did not have
the correct combination to yeild power.

The concept of using alternating current to heat, contain and capture the
power is the correct one but I failed to find the right pressure of hydrogen
and the power for ignition.

With very low pressures the reaction is easier to start but the yeild is
very low and not enough power in generated to contain the reactants and to
set up a self sustaining reaction. If I had not run out of money compelling
me to sell my gear I would have tried higher pressures to see if that would
work.

Basically, my reactor did not work.

Now I'm back with a pulsed current from a car battery and although the
pulsed power is higher the average power is lower and so the gas will
probably not heat up enough to ionise.

If I can get the money together again I may buy a higher power transmitter
and try higher pressures. This is unlikely.

I am trying to reproduce what was known as the Tesla Engine which I know to
be a Tesla coil with hydrogen gas inside the coil. This was sold as a kit in
the 1930's and was said to generate electrical power. Tesla had plans for
big power stations but he was violently assaulted because he offered free
electricity, once you bought the engine the electricity was free. His engine
was squashed by the people in power because they would loose their income.

However the hydrogen it runs on is not free and profit could be made from
hydrogen sales.

If I had money, I may construct wind turbines to generate electricity.
I am not going to buy those 'ready made' wind turbines, those are very
expensive
I can built it from scratch, from iron bar, iron rod, iron sheet, cement and
sand...etc.
The only 'ready made part' I need to buy is the electric generator.

You may find it cheaper overall to buy one off the shelf and hire a
contractor to put it up. It is only worth making it yourself if there is
none available off the shelf.
