Bob Boyce System Replications Reporting 40-60% mpg Increases
Another update on various developments in the water fuel
cell field, in which hydroxy gas from electrolyzed water is added to the air
intake of a vehicle. The teamwork resembles the days of pre-Apple computer
collaboration.
Dave Lawton's replica
(wmv) last year of a system resembling Stanley Meyer's was explained at length
in a document
(pdf) by Patrick Kelley. Such is the teamwork and thoroughness of the
adjunct group of open source replicators. (YouTube; October
21, 2006)
The first closely replicated Bob Boyce Style Electrolyzers are beginning to
report results in the Watercar,
Hydroxy, and Workingwatercar
yahoo egroups. Several replicators have reported 40-60% mpg increases with
Bob Boyce and Smack Booster modified versions of the Bob Boyce System.
Most of these replications are using "brute force" electrolysis
meaning that the three frequency toroidal transformers are not yet being
utilized for maximum gain. One experimenter name Houston has reported a
steady 21 l/min output from his 49 Cell Boyce System using various wiring
options and has reported 40-60% mpg increases.
Several Smack Booster replicators are reporting similar 40-60% increases in
their mpg when using the system as a booster to their gas fueled engines.
These increases require adjustments to Oxygen sensors in modern cars to
compensate for HHO gas utilization. Many systems will regard the extra O
in the fuel mix as a too lean condition and force more gas fuel into the engine
which negates the gains from using Hydroxy.
This scenario accounts for many reports of no gain at all, to as little as
10-20% increase in mileage in contrast to the 40-60% mileage increases reported
by several. It seems that fuel/air sensors and electronics are the source
of the variation in performance results. The groups offer numerous
workarounds for these problems.
The upshot of all these things, is that the Water Car era seems to be upon us.
At least the "Do It Yourself"-ers have found significant answers for
themselves in these groups. Businesses are emerging from the forums as
DIYers offer assistance to one another with various parts of the systems to
which their particular expertise gives rise. The situation is not unlike
the early stages of the personal computer revolution.
Thanks to PESN's coverage, inquiries and new group members are arriving daily
from around the world into these forums. Successful replications are being
report as often. Though a complete Boyce replication with 60-101 cells and
three phase pulsing has not yet been tested and reported; there are a number of
people nearing that point.
By comparison one might liken the current stage as the Computer Kit stage with
only a couple complete turnkey systems available. Lets call it the
pre-Apple stage. Good thing oil is useful for other things besides
production of gasoline, otherwise one might want to divest oneself of
investments in oil even though its current price is $100 a barrel. One
last push for profits from a (thankfully) dying gasoline industry, buggy whips
anyone?
Bob recently revealed in posts to a yahoo watercar egroup that his system uses sequence
relaxation and phase tweaking to
control hydroxy production volume. Though the result of this looks like
frequency shifting to a frequency counter; that is only because of the lack of
pulses during the relaxation part of the wave forms. You might think of it
as burst frequency modulation instead of frequency modulation.
The phase tweaking adjusts the relationship of the three frequencies to
"fine tune". Bob also detailed the method of setup for initial
tuning after which little adjustment is need. Here is the quote...
My favorite implementation was to use pressure transducer
output to vary the relaxation delay between pulse string sequences. If looked at
on a frequency counter, it would look as though the frequencies of all 3
channels were being changed, but that is only because a frequency counter counts
pulses over a set period of time. The pulse streams out of a HexController has
series of pulses that are in fixed relation to one another with fixed intervals.
Once a cell stack is tuned to "frequency", which is actually a
specific pulse train timing, that timing changes very little, and only in
response to electrolyte density.
The pulse durations are hardly ever changed once they are locked onto optimum
for a given cell stack system.
The timing of each series of pulse sequences results in predefined sets of pulse
intervals within each sequence, and a delay between sequences. These relaxation
times can be adjusted slightly to vary production. This is MUCH more effective
at varying production than varying pulse width without wasting power. So we can
look at it as slight variations in phase between the individual phases within a
pulse sequence, which I called "twist", and larger opportunities of
missing pulse time (relaxation time) between pulse sequence sets.
I hope I'm not confusing anyone here, please try to bear with me. i am not
always very good at explaining things in ways that everyone can understand.
Frequency is set by not having any phase shift (twist) or sequence delays
(relaxation time) set, and tuning the unit timing for maximum production at the
least power consumption. After timing is set, then the sensors can be brought
online. The temperature sensor provides feedback to adjust pulse timing (not
pulse duration) slightly. This can compensate for density changes in the
electrolyte.
With any given jump in pulse timing due to temperature compensation, we can fine
tune operation for that given timing by adjusting the phase twist slightly. So
we really want to leave that variable alone, and use it solely as a means of
"fine tuning" for operational changes due to temperature and
electrolyte conductivity.
Relaxation time between pulse sequences can be adjusted to control volume of
hydroxy gas production on the fly. This can use pressure, flow, and demand
(throttle position) all as inputs to determine optimum hydroxy gas production
levels.
I should also add... Anyone looking at a frequency counter would mistakenly
assume that frequency is changing while adjusting the relaxation time, when
really what is changing is the space between sequences, and to a much lesser
degree the phase relationship between the 3 channels. (Ref.)

Boyce's Electrolyzer Plans Available to All - Michael Couch
writes about Boyce' system for high-efficiency electrolysis that
involves the alleged production of monatomic hydrogen, which has
highly unusual and effective properties in accentuating mileage. (PESN;

Water car technology from 1950 resurrected

ADVISORY: With any
technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of
the endeavor.
All
truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
