What a couple of bad weeks in a row....
The in-line water heater has arrived and is being installed.
The full size tube cells have been put on the Dodge. But they didn't all test to be close to the same capacitance. So I broke them all apart, did separate individual tests, and coupled the 4 largest uF capacitance tube cells (2 positive and 2 negative).
The plasma spark test reveled my spark plugs failed after 700 miles. The gap stretched out from .045" to .065" and almost broke off the tab on the spark plugs. But I am using a 100uf capacitor also, its a big guy.
New spark plugs made the vehicle work properly after 700 miles. And I wouldn't be surprised if tests with water extends the life of the spark plugs.
I done a full water for fuel test on the Dodge this week with no success. But failure is good. Things need to be worked on a little more. The best part about the failure is that nothing burnt up, smoked, or fried. But it did break my heart...
Below is the route the water takes in this system. I haven't got the in line heater installed yet though. Click on to the picture to show a larger version.
I have to leave to go to Houston next week because my step father is dying. Anyone going from Oregon to Houston? Anyone have a free train or plane ride they can give me? Maybe LA to Houston?
Here is a new video.
If you're worried about dieing then you better start doing stuff right the first time....then you can stop worrying.
OK...
I swapped out ignition coils on the Dodge so those diodes would work. I went from 80KV to 40KV (.045 spark gap to .030 spark gap).
I am short 15 10amp diodes to complete the plasma spark system on the Dodge.I spent my last $ on 15 new ones. I bought them, but burned them up in the last test. so while I wait I will use the 3amp diodes and try not to press the limit to much (but you know I want to so badly).
I setup a high pressure HHO system on the bumper of the Dodge so I can test the plasma spark system first. Then I can proceed to the application of the water for fuel into the carby.
I done a few tests using the plasma system in the Dodge and it worked well, but I have some cross spark happening somewhere (or no spark). When I connect those diodes up to the spark plug wires the engine acts like there is a missing spark/cross spark. When that happens the Dodge acts like it is not running on all 8 cylinders. But when I add the plasma spark it smooths out, but when I drive it then the cross spark/missing spark happens again.
I need some suggestions to fix this issue. I have a few ideas I'm going to try tomorrow so if you got an idea too you better tell me quick.
Right after I made this video the stupid high pressure fuel pump quit working (bastard). So I had to scavenge the one I had on the bench top model, and I didn't want to do that. But it is working great again (if you don't count that damn mis fire/missing spark).
Here is the schematic I'm currently using and a video I made earlier today. Click onto the picture to see a much larger version please.

..and I didn't shock myself one time today... Thank You Lord!
I got those resistors in and tested them....and they didn't work. The plasma spark wasn't strong enough to get through the resistor (20K/15WATT). So the deal was that if I could use the resistors then I could save money as compared to putting five 4$ diodes in series for each spark plug. Well saving money isn't an option. I need 50 more of those 4$ diodes, I got 10 already. The V8 requires 40 and the bench top model requires 20. What a pain in the neck. I was hoping those resitors worked.
I spent rent on the last diodes and resistors...and hopefully a few more DVDs will sell so I can buy the rest. I guess I'll buy what I can now.... so I'm at 99.9999999999999999% finished and waiting.
Thank God for patients and donations....or I would have been crazy by now.
I'm just waiting on the resistors to show up I ordered last week. Then I should have everything in place and ready to test on the Dodge.

Think positive results!!
I have a few rewound alternators up for grabs on EBay. Better get them now, because when this works and the orders pour in, you will be waiting instead of installing...

Happy Easter!!
Well...the super high voltage alternator didn't perform as hoped. It failed to produce the amps needed, though the voltage was over 1000 VDC. It was such high voltage it smoked my digital multimeter (over 1000VDC). But it wasn't enough amps to do any work.
So back to the original high voltage alternator made with 28 AWG wire (40-60 turns per loop). Stan wrote in his book that about 10-40 amps was used in one of his diagrams. Diagram below.
I've removed the electronics and I'm back to running straight from the inverter through the variable transformer. Diagram below.
I'll be testing the 100uf and the 40uf cap on the Dodge during the tests this coming week. I keep burning up those 1n5408 diodes (1000v/3amp) so I've ordered some bad ass NTE5817 diodes (1000v/10amp). With these new diodes I should be able to run a hell of a lot more amps through the system. They are about 3 bux a pop where as the old diodes were about .30 cents a pop.
I also ordered some new SS304 tube with a thicker wall. It will give me a .025 thousandths gap. The current tube cell gives me a .60 thousandths gap. I'm having a new punch fabricated to make the smaller spacers.

DOE, NETL, and VTP said they're not interested in a water powered vehicle and wont give me a grant.
There are no grants to apply for and the Unsolicited Proposal Department of the NETL said it wasn't interested (after 4 months). I have the official replies to prove it. And this is after the NETL got almost 2 billion more in grant money for "future" technologies just a few weeks ago...specifically $40 million for "water power". And they won't give me 100K... that is bullshit.
Oh well...now I have to concur there is something not right with the NETL, the VT, or the DOE. I'll have to fix it when I become President because I don't have the power to dink with it right now.
News:
I've got the Air Ionizer/Ozoneator on the Dodge 98% finished. I've ordered and I'm waiting on the UV LED rope from Hong Kong to show up.
I've wrapped my tube cells with the wire of the incoming voltage in an inductor fashion. The Neutral wire is wrapped opposite of the positive wire, but with out as many turns.
I've made some water ionizers from some super bright Red and UV LEDs. I've put 1 before, 1 in the middle, and 1 at the end of the electrolysis tube cells.
I've finished a loop winding machine. Even though it looks cheap, I had to buy everything but the chair and it wasn't cheap (around 100$ for everything). I'm working on numerous high voltage alternator designs. The first being a 1000 volt alternator using 34 AWG wire (150 turns per loop, 13 loops per phase, 3 phases). The second test alternator will have 300 turns per loop. If the voltage doesn't go too high I can continue to use the 3 phase bridge already in the alternators. The bridge is good up to 1600volts/35amps.
Video of the loop winding machine.
I have gotten a few donations to finish up the project. I can't thank enough the few who have donated the final amount needed. So please be patient as I tweak and prime everything to fire up in 2 weeks or less. I have approximately 5 tests to preform and then it is only water for fuel if God's willing.
"God almighty, please let this work without any issues or problems. Let me turn the key and start up the Dodge using only water for fuel Lord. God please let this run out the starting gate like a champ...AMEN."
Just say that prayer for me yall.
Video of everything 1 week before testing.
Well the Dodge is running like a champ... stupid carburetor. It sounds like a hotrod with that cat cut off. Now I can drive the Trooper as I finish this last 1% of conversion on the Dodge. The Dodge is going to be first since I'm so broke. It's just a few more things. The Trooper needs about 400$ more work and the dodge needs about 150$ more work to be testing with water for fuel only. I'm so happy, everyone should be also!
I done a lot of test the day the Dodge ran. I tested numerous inductors and transformers setup in LRC and impedance matched networks, with the new SS430 wire too, but nothing worked as well as just using the alternator and the current LRC setup with Plasma Spark. I've setup the tube cells in series, from positive + neutral, and negative + neutral in a "crossover voltage burst sync-pulse" is what Stan called it. I made a PowerPoint Presentation below. The Tidal Wave works best with a Neutral involved, other wise the signal looks really distorted.
Also, it seems out of all the tests the frequency wasn't really adjustable. I could adjust the pulsing and duty cycle of the alternator, but the frequency coming out of the alternator was always jumping between 1Khz and 3Khz randomly it seemed on the frequency finder. Through pulse adjusting and reving the engine the alternator output frequency would max out at about 6 Khz at 3000 RPM and was never steady.... but I have a shitty frequency counter also so it could be to blame. But really, who cares about the exact LRC setup when the burst pulses look like resonance in almost any LRC circuit?
I'm below broke. I had to borrow my dad's last $ to make rent. I'm in desperate need of some donations or sales. It's a shame I'm always broke when I need the money the most.
The lurker counter reset on the front page. With in 1 month (Feb to Mar) I got over 3,500 hits from around the world. That is 1000 more hits in the first month than the previous year. So don't think I don't see you watching me...because I'm watching you watch me...so if you ain't going to donate then you better be saving up to buy a kit when you see the Dodge run on water within the next few months.
I'm in overdrive now... don't let me run out of gas people... Look at this new video
