That 1975 arc to water in a pressure cooker experiment looking
for Proton Lithium Fusion is coming back to
haunt me again, this time with fractional orbit over-unity energy
in mind.
The electrode was a 5/8 inch diameter by ~ 8 inch long ceramic
ignitor electrode used on boilers, fed through the lid of the Stainless
Steel pressure cooker so that there was about 4 inches sticking above
and below the lid with about 1/2 inch above the pool of water laced with
Lithium Hydroxide LiOH.
The 7500- 0-7500 volt center-tapped neon sign transformer rated at 0.060 amps
at a low voltage short was hooked so that 15,000 volts was across the gap
with the pressure cooker floated from ground using a 1/2 inch acrylic
insulator. When the voltage was applied the pressure shot up enough to
extinguish the discharge in a matter of seconds even so fast that the
water pool never got hot. When the pressure dropped enough for
the discharge to re- ignite, the cycle repeated.
Later "control" tests were ran using salt water. boric acid water, well water
and so on, with about the same mysterious results.
Very disappointing to a Hot Fusion mind- set.
The arc drops the transformer output to 1,000 volts or less at 0.06 amps
so the wasn't enough input energy to account for the pressure rise.
OTOH, recent waterfuel activity puts a new slant on things.
