    Thanks

    Thanks Vickers. The wife is complaining about all the money I have tied up in my projects and so I was a bit concerned. I have an oscilloscope getting dusty too.

    You're doing a great job!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

      Yes, i hope i can report some positive results with a gen-set, we will see. Any positive results would be nice, as of now its only powerme.

      As i understand it,
      1. 30 minutes mixing at 60c,
      2. 1 hour cooling at 0c,
      3. 2 hours heating at 60C (the growing stage)

      So after the ice bath is a growing stage, where the mix just seats still for 2 hours at 140 F. and actually needs to be under some pressure.
      Could a 10 psi plus, burst a 140 degree F plastic bottle, and send 30% ammonium everywhere? Can we continue to shake it during this step?

      I really dont know how much we can change from Powers directions. This crystal making stuff is way out of my expertise.

        @ Roland

        EXACTLY!

        Very simple stuff. He has given us such general guidelines, that with a little bit of thought, you can make MANY things "fit the bill" in this project.

        Cheers mate,

          30 mins mixing @ 60 Deg. C,
          1 Hour cooling at 0 Degrees C
          2 Hours Heating

          Use a big, 1/2 gallon masonry jar. Those puppies are designed to withstand some PRESSURE for nanny's canning.

          So you don't gotta worry about the darned thing blowing up on you. I've kept it up to 70* C, and the thing still didn't give out on me. I put an ice cube on the top of the lid during part 3 (2 hrs @ 60C), and the ice cube reduced the ammount of pressure, to a "safe" level on the kitchen stove (where I could check on it ever 10 minutes while watching a DVD)

          Every 10 minutes, I would increase temp. from 65, to 70 Deg. C -- and use my little stirrer, and swoosh the mixture around, and then leave it for the next 10 minute round.)

          Hope this helps

            Chemicals

            I ordered my chemicals today, (i.e.: ammonium hydroxide, & zinc oxide). I should have them within a week or so and then I'll be able to make the crystals too.

            I'm really into this project and plan to go the whole route. I've been looking for the programmable piezo pond foggers and so far haven't found what I want and/or need.

            If someone knows where to purchase these programmable pond foggers, please let us know. Thanks in advance!!

              Piezo Transducer

              Hello,

              I have been reading this threa on your site and OverUnity. I haven't heard if anyone achived sucess. Could someone tell me their results?

              Also, I have a question. I found a piezo transducer designed for use in water. One of the uses listed is matter dispersion. I was wonderin if I could use it instead of making crystals. Does is make a difference if I have one big peizo vibrating at 43Khz or do I need thousands of little crystals vibrating in that range?

              If the big pezo works should I place it in the fog above the ultrasonic fogger, or in water below?

              Thanks for any comments

              Here is my link to the peizo for sale: Piezoelectric Ceramic Cylinder Transducer 43 KHz - STEMINC

              Here is a link to a guy who appears to be useing resonance (or something to do with sound/frequency) to generate HHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejHXMqPfytw

                crystal lattice

                Hello to All,
                Could a crystal lattice be grown between the plates in a FLA battery. I believe this is the key to power attraction from the aether over in the 3BGS thread. Currently looking for celenite to experiment with.
                Any ideas. Great thread here. Very informative.

                Thanks,
