Hi Everyone,

Just to let you know, I am attempting to replicate one of the experiments outlined in Linnard's patent. This is experiment #13. After looking over the patent, this one seemed the safest and easiest to do.

I have a 5% NaOH solution here at work that I am now reducing by evaporation to a 10% concentration as outlined in the patent. I purchased 50ppm colloidal silver and 350ppm colloidal magnesium from the health food store. I also obtained a tungsten carbide electrode from a welding supply near me, and I plan on using a galvanized nail for the zinc electrode. I also have the copper wire for the connection. I am going to try to replicate the experiment exactly (concentrations of colloidal suspensions).

It may be a day or so before any initial results are obtained. I will let you know how it goes. Please be patient with me, I am busy here at work and I want to perform the experiment in one of our vent hoods for safety.

Just to let you know, I preferred the chemistry aspect of this forum, and Linnard's apparatus looked right in line with my interest.

I'll keep you all posted, but please be patient. Thanks!!!

Hello everyone,

Well, I have to admit, I honestly did not expect it to work, but my experiment is a success. I placed the electrodes into the solution and no gas was produced until I connected the wires between the electrodes. Just like the patent described, the evolution of gas began.

I have buddies here at work who were very interested, and now we are convinced.

I will need to collect the gas to see if it is flammable, but that won't be for a few days.

Just wanted to let everyone know. I duplicated experiment #13 of Linnard's patent.

Free hydrogen is now a reality in my lifetime. Man am I blown away.

Talk to you all later.
 

Hello,

please can someone tell me what is this Tungsten Carbide - Electrode ( german translation = Wolfram-Pl?ttchen/Carbid ?? )

Regards
Kator

Molecularly it is:
W < 94%, C < 6.18%, Fe < 0.04%, Mo < 0.010%, Al < 0.001%

I hope that helped...

Stephan,

permanent problems with videos. Last avi-video needs a new RealPlaye-Software.
Try to download this new software but the RealPlayer-programm could not find any new
sortware.

These different standards are really a pity. Can we agree on a standard ( mpeg or similar ) which
can be viewed without any problems ??

Kator01

This has me very excited.

You can say that again!!!     

Thank god for inventors who share! If this technology
is half as cheap and  easy as it sounds, we are well on
our way to powering the world with water.

Please can you also examine all the submerged metals and
report the level of reduxion that occures and on what materials.

Thanks to all those now working on this replication...
It feels like everyday we get a little closer to independence.

Kingrs,

Please read Linnard's patent and experiment#13.

According to the patent, all components involved in this reaction will be regenerated except water, which is consumed by evolving into hydrogen and oxygen gases.

There is no boron in this reaction mixture. Unless I missed something and somebody would correct me. I am only going by what Dr. Linnard wrote. This experiment requires no electrical input of energy, and it is a catalyst driven reaction. Catalysts are not consumed in this reaction. The five metals involved drive the reaction to completion.

This technology is new to me as well. I only performed the old-style electrolysis in grade-school science class. I never did again in my life until today.

I will begin to re-educate myself on the basics of electrolysis, and what it entails. I never needed it before. I am the first to admit I am woefully lacking in the basics of this reaction. I only followed his (Linnard's) outlined procedure.

To sum things up, no energy input, all components should be regenerated (except water) , a gas is being produced.That's all I know at this point.

Dingus,

I will keep track of appearance, etc. and let you know what I see.

In normal electrolysis I understand that unless platinum electrodes are used that the oxygen electrode oxidizes. Since only one electrode is giving off gas, then this is probably happening.

I admit, forcefully, that I am woefully lacking in knowledge of this area. Electrochemistry is not my cup of tea. So more experienced scientists may give their information on what is happening.

I only ran the experiment, and I am getting gas evolution. What is really happening needs to be investigated.

Thanks for having patience with me. I am always open to correction.

Hi everyone,

Just an update on the duplication of Linnard Patent Experiment #13. The experiment has been going on for 14 hours now.

Came in to work this morning and the Tungsten-Carbide electrode was still producing gas at the same slow rate. It looks like the solution level dropped about 4-5ml (approx) and the solution has developed a very slight brownish tinge. This is probably not due to the electrolysis because the unused solution that I have stored in a jar right next to the beaker has the same very slight brownish color.

I will be taking pictures today and get them posted as soon as I can. I don't have my digital camera available so I will be using a regular one. Once the pictures are developed for me I'll post them.

Let me describe the apparatus. It consists of a 100ml beaker covered by a plastic lid from a one quart container. This covers the top of the beaker, but allows the gas to escape through the pour lip. The lid also holds the electrodes that are pierced through the lid. So we have the solution in the beaker (80ml start volume), a dead space where gas can collect and escape through the pour lip, the electrodes (one tungsten-carbide, one galvanized nail (zinc)) held in place by the plastic lid. Above the lid a copper wire is connected to each eletrode. When the wires are touched together the production of gas begins. The solution in the beaker consists of 100ml of 10% NaOH(aq) into which was added 8ml of 50ppm colloidal silver and 0.6ml of a 350ppm colloidal magnesium. This gives the same concentrations that were described in experiment #13 of Linnard's patent.
The total volume added to the beaker brought the starting level at 80ml.

A few observations:

The galvanized nail that I am using for the zinc electrode has not changed color below the immersion line but above the immersion line (in the dead space where the gas can collect) the electrode has darkened. Interestingly, above the lid (outside the dead space) the electrode has not changed color.

The Tungsten-Carbide electrode, below the immersion line,has darkened slightly but above the immersion line (the dead space) and outside the lid the color has not changed.

The rate of gas production is not dramatic, but it is slow and steady. I will try adding other tungsten-carbide electrodes to see if I can get the rate of gas production increased today.

Thanks for your interest. I will be adding results here as time progresses.
