VIC voltage intensifier circuit

[robind]

Hi I wonder if anyone here knows of the Stanley Meyer designs for hydrogen production in which he mentiones a Voltage intensifyer circuit. It is my wish to build or have built one of these ! I am told that it is simply a type of "specialist"Transformer that is wired in reverse? but am not compitent enough to know if this is so
Thanks in anticipation

I hadn't heard or read about this until now. The papers seems full of fancy gibberish.
It's going to take a lot of reading to get a good grip on what this is all about.
All I see so far is a lot of strangely combined terms and abbreviations, and that doesn't promise good for validity.
But as far as I can see the VIC is just a step-up transformer (like a car coil) wound in a nice manner so as to promote good coupling and high frequency properties.
If you can post links to the pages that provide the most useful details I could try to evaluate it a little more.
The world is full of looneys, but leave no stone unturned I say..

Thanks for your prompt reply I am most grateful I believe that he got it to work and others have followed suit covertly. The site below shows a guy and his modifications to the Meyer circuit. Now if only it works and I could actually understand enough to build it for myself? Thanks again
Kind regards

I didn't put much trust in a video showing anything useful but that guy showed it good & clear.
I see now how the circuit works and it corresponds with the little I read about the theory.
The idea seems to be to put both dc & ac at the same time through the water cell. The last coil seems to form a series resonant circuit with itself & the capacitance of the water cell, and the diode supplies the neccessary dc (& ac) pulses - from the step-up transformer.
The transformer could be used in a fly-back or a forward configuration, that is not clear, but he said it was 80 turns primary & 600 turns secondary.
It's going to take the better part of a day to wind a toroid like that..

But you don't really need all those transformers & coils to do what was done there. The oscilloscope picture showed clearly what was going into the cell, namely 30V dc & 12V ac p-p. You can achieve that with a dc-coupled amplifier & a signal generator, giving you full control of all the parameters involved without relying on some elusive resonance in coils.
After you establish what dc, ac, & frequency works best for the cell (& what efficiency it achieves) you can tailor-make a power supply to provide that.

Wow thanks ( unfortunately, it goes right over my head) for that! I do have a square wave generator, a modified alternator so as to put out three phases and a 2 horsepower motor, with which to drive the alternator, this I believe will be enough to drive my cell? but not to maximum efficency. Thanks for your help.

I'm not quite sure how you're going to go about your experiment and what scale you plan for it, but be warned that the gas produced is not only combustible, it's a ready-mixed H+O2 highly-explosive gas that is ready to go BANG with the slightest spark and could have the potential to damage your hearing, burn you, or even kill you if you gather enough of it..
Using it as a stored propellant is also highly dangerous, as a backfire would go all the way to the tank - and BOOM...

The guy in the video used 12V * 0.8A = 10W, of which 1-2W went to lighting the lamp.

That being said, the output from ground and to each of the three phases of a car alternator will produce both dc & ac but the frequency will be quite low (a few kiloHertz). You'll have around a kiloWatt at your disposal..
