@rochaaraujo9320 No, they charge and discharge at a frequency of around 200-300Hz. Frequency depends on the time constant of the circuit.

@@BradKwfc what's happen if just charge water capacitor to limit without let breakdown between plates? Will create gas? Capacitor will discharge slowly?

@rochaaraujo9320 It will still create gas, but it won't be in resonance, so it will never reach the phenomenon.

@@BradKwfc sorry man... could you help me understand? What you mean about phenomenon here? Will produce gas but not in same performance?

@rochaaraujo9320 Yes. It will produce gas, but at that point, it's basically just pulsed electrolysis. Without resonance, the voltage won't rise to the point at which the phenomena occurs.

@@nick39 Might work if they're stiff enough.

@@nick39 You could also try 3d printing them out of something that could take the heat like nylon or PETG.

@@carpenterguitarandampworks2403 I don't. Maybe I need to get one?

@@BradKwfc thanks!!!

4 years wow. I started this project 10 years ago. Sad that it's not done. I have 3 kids, and my wife works when I'm not, so getting anything done at this point in life is almost impossible. I really want to get back into it this summer by rewiring the whole car. Time will tell.

@@BradKwfc your car will be patient and wait so you can enjoy your family. They grow up way too fast. Best of luck and don't give up.

You're welcome. If only the manufacturer would send a few dollars my way for each sale this video has made. I had no idea so many people were interested in coil winders.

Hmm. My lathe is put away right now. It wasn't hard, though. The hardest part was cutting the calipers and cutting a slot in them to mount them. The brackets were just some basic corner brackets from the hardware store. I just put the calipers where I wanted them and marked where to drill and tap the holes to mount them. I just used some hardware I had on hand.

@@BradKwfc thank you! I will be doing this in the near future!

@BradKwfc Also, I'm currently working a full time job in a CNC shop AND have 6 kids, so sometimes what is simple to do escapes me momentarily.

@Nash_son_of_Zeus I completely understand. I have 3 kids and even then sometimes things that would take me 10 minutes to complete end up taking weeks.

@@BradKwfc I completely get it!

Pretty good, thanks. I have the custom-made cores now. I'm still working on the new Hybrid VIC Controller. I expect it will be done in late May or June. I have the new case design about completed, and I'm working on the pcb. It's been a lot of work but when it's done I'll be pretty excited to show it off.

Put the coils in the water cavity? Or are you saying drive opposing electrodes at slightly different frequencies? If you applied slightly different frequencies to opposing electrodes, you'd probably see either amplitude or frequency modulation, depending on how they interacted and the circuit they move through, but nothing would happen to the water unless the electric fields were strong enough. Even then, getting the water to break down is a two part process. All you would see is inefficient electrolysis of water with a high degree of side reactions. I'm not sure what would happen if you put the coils on the water operating at different frequencies. If I had to guess, I'd think you'd see the water shaking from the magnetorestriction of the transformer core.

Yep. Just busy with 3 kids and a full time job. I'm still working on Stan's stuff as well. I should have something really cool to show off in another month or so.

@@BradKwfc hehehehe I can really understand him perfectly. Here it is nothing different... pure work and housework. I would really like to be able to share my experiments... but I try to simulate the use of Vic well... I still have my doubts that the resonance system is more efficient in terms of hho production, compared to other traditional electrolysis systems

Hmm, Its been a while. If I remember correctly I did something to make the choke a coupled inductor? knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LloSAE

If I remember correctly I used lithium grease.

Yeah. The initial plan was just to get it running again, but the more I dug into it, the more problems I found. It was my dad's car. It will be my son's car when he's older. I need to get it done. My dad gave it to me in 2014. Hopefully I'll have some time this summer.

I think if there were, it would be Chinese speaking. I have the manuals. If you're interested, just email me at the email in the description. I'll send them to you free, and don't worry, you won't get put on an email list or anything.

This experiment is using DC. The electrodes are connected to a 0-4kV DC to DC converter.

@@BradKwfc Thank You, stan Mayer hat used AC with an modified sinewave in the Kilohertz range, an the Start to Vibrate like when you sing to a Wineglas before it Breaks. That shook of the Gas bubbles. So that new ones could form more quickly.

Correct, not perfect and it doesn't work if you change the angle. But it was cheap and effective. Hardest part was cutting the ends of the caliper jaws.

I tried using some springs pushing against the spool. It ended up not being consistent so I stopped using it.

@@BradKwfc thanks for reply. Does that mean that you don’t tension the feed spool at all with good results?

@RichardAuber Yes. I tried using tension but without an actual tensiometer getting it right was difficult and it just made the coils worse. There are tensioner's online that fit this machine for around $100.

Thank you! @@BradKwfc

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Life is crazy busy right now. I'm working on a new Hybrid VIC Controller and should be getting my custom cores later this month. Getting those cores will be a big deal as I ordered them last September. The new Hybrid VIC Controller is going to be really good but I still have alot of work to do on it.

Yes you could 3d print one. I used a large diameter rod because it was close to the hole diameter. The screws that clamp in into the hole are only on one side so if I used something smaller it would wobble.

@@BradKwfc That's great news, guess I will have to model a custom coil holder, no problems. One more question if you can answer, is there anything stopping this machine winding guitar coils? Thanks for your help much appreciated!

@Program2live With the right holder and bobbin, it will wind guitar pickups just fine.

Still working on it. I've got some custom ferrite cores being made that I ordered months ago. Hoping to get them soon.

@@BradKwfc how good that is. It has been many years. I've been in it for a few years, but I think I have mastered what a pulse generator is (considering the use of modulated pulses and harmonic frequencies) What I am not clear about/mastered yet is how the VIC "exactly" works... and if you can direct me or give me a direction, I will be eternally pleased. and also in relation to the reactor (tubular use) how to size for the best use with VIC. luck and good vibes in your developments.

Hey just send me an email BradKwfc@gmail.com and I'll send them to you.

I don't need anything yet. Thank you for the offer though. I was looking to get some custom ferrite cores from China but the only supplier that would make them required a huge order at a cost of $6kUSD.

I should also add that I knew nothing about all this at one point, but I've been studying it since 2008.

I've been working on an updated one for the last 6 months that is far better than this. I plan on making them for sale but it's a lot of work to make them and I still have some difficult problems to solve. When its done I'll make a video of it! I'm pretty excited. I think if anything out there can do the job right it will be my new one.

Looking better but the VIC is still not correct. I've ordered some custom made cores in the meantime.

That happens when the VIC values are not correct.

Shoot. Sorry to hear that. I wonder if one of your RGB's is bad? I wish I could help but it's really hard troubleshooting over the internet. Did you get the wiring schematics? I bought some online when I fixed mine they helped out alot.

Yeah?

@@BradKwfc czcams.com/video/sY__PC91AUg/video.htmlsi=TlLW6EheJ4tvQlNY

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll try to make one like you suggested this year (2024), as I've noticed the same thing. There's not really many good videos explaining the basics of it.

Your welcome. I only wish the manufacturer would pay me for all the coil winders I've sold for them lol.

Yes, I sent out quotes to a few ferrite core manufacturers and heard back from two of them. The first had a min order of 100 pieces at a cost of $6k. The other one agreed to make a smaller number but for a cost of around $140/set. The lead time was 10-12 weeks. I should be getting them sometime in January. I went with a slightly different ferrite mix in hopes that it will work better than the one I bought from Russ years ago.

Yes. I'm having some custom cores made. I sent requests to 5 or 6 Ferrite core manufacturers. I only heard back from two of them. One had a min order of 100 pieces and quoted me $5k. The other allowed smaller orders but for a price. I ordered 5 sets in case a different ferrite mix is needed. The lead time was 10-12 weeks. Hopefully, I'll get them sometime in January.

@@BradKwfc remember that maintaining resonance requires a PLL to fine tune maximum performance due to changes in temp and environment...

@mikebartley481 Yes. The Hybrid VIC Controller is just meant for a laboratory setting as a proof of concept. Once the basic process is proven the PLL can be researched and incorporated into it.

Thanks for the compliment. It took a lot of work to get to this point!

Try playing around with your pitch settings. If pitch is off just a bit it will mess it up.

Too late, he's already trying to sell it on his website 😆

@@BradKwfc 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah... should have been done by now but life has been very busy. I hope things are going good for you. Do you still have the Porsche?

Yes and she has a new fresh engine!@@BradKwfc

@flllooofie Awesome! Someday I'll get one in mine as well.

Honestly I found that using large area washers and nuts work better. If you wind alot of turns the bobbin will warp, so I found it best to clamp the bobbin in place using the washers and nuts. If you put a threaded rod on yours like I did just get some nuts and large area washers for it, you'll get better results that way especially if the bobbins your using have thin walls.
