Hi All,
the last 2 days I have pondered a lot about the direct conversion
of  carbon to electricity in a new fuel cell.

As this would be an ultimate green cycle
to use charcoal or carbon from biomass waste to
convert directly to electricity without burning and
with high efficiency higher than 60 % !

There are a few new direct carbon conversion
fuel cells now developed, but all of them have the problem,
that they are using high temperatures for the KOH
electrolytes or Sn metal electrolyte.


What I experienced with my Newman machine studies is,
that there also is carbon used inside the brushes of the
commutator and I also got a positive confirmation
answer from the Newman engineers,
that the Newman back spike current effect only works well,
when they used a copper-graphite(conductive carbon)
pair as the commutator contact points.
With other metal combinations and without graphite the
strange big back current spike into the battery was not seen.


So it seems there is now another possibility to convert carbon
directly to electrical energy !

As the plasma that comes up, when we fire a BackEMF pulse
via a coil across a sparkgap from copper and graphite electrodes,
we have there a battery cell, that has 2 different metal electrodes
(Copper and Graphite) and have an electrolyte, which is the plasma
inside the spark of the sparkgap !

This way we can "burn" the graphite electrode in air (oxidize it)
and thus produce
additional current into the circuit !

This is probably also the main effect of the Newman motors
and all "overunity" systems that are sparkgap based on !

There you just oxidize the electrode materials inside the
hot plasma spark and use this as a basic battery cell to
get additional free electrons flowing into the circuit.

I will now try to scale this effect up and see, if I can
burn more graphite faster via bigger sparks and just get
more electricity into the coil-sparkgap-battery system this
way and recharge batteries this way.

This then would be a very efficient direct conversion
of carbon material into electrical energy and could
be stored in accumulator batteries without the
need of high temperature electrolyte like KOH or simular
agressive substances !

Stefan,

Carbon is also used in Ultracaps. Regarding your previous email, its questionable whether carbon graphite is consumed. The transmutation process combines two carbons with two oxygens to form iron. However, using carbon graphite in spark gaps produces what are called Dirac Quasiparticles.  Its these Quasiparticles that appear to be associated with excess electrical energy. They make these spark gaps look like NEGATIVE resistors.

Good Job.
