OK, ResinRat2, it looks alot like yers; did he send construction notes as well?

Might be asking a bit much, but after all, you'd think Dr Linnard would want his work validated.  Mebbe there's more to it than we know, like somebody's gots their bootheel on his neck, possibly?

I dunno, jes the "conspiracy theorist" in me rearing his ugly haid...

Thanks for the video ResinRat2. What an amazing little cell! I want one! Did he say how long it goes for and does this one regenerate it's anode/cathode? What material is he using for the anode and cathode and what kind of electrolyte is he using? As soon as I can get some idea of the stuff I need to make a cell like you are making I,m taking a year off to see if i can make one. Thanks again for being such an inspiration

Thank Darc

ResinRat
Keep up the good work.  I usually always try to look in and see how you're doing whenever I check in.
We're all rooting for ya'.

Cue cheers from sidelines...

No Keith, he sent me no construction plans and no details on its construction. If he did, do you think I would be spending all this money and going through all this trouble trying to get something to work. Even this reactor I am trying to finish has its problems. I noticed that the angle of the holes that permeates the barrier between the two chambers does not appear to be steep enough. I am getting gas mixing between the two chambers. So it still has its problems.

All I have is the patent and my own determination to get this working. That means learning one mistake at a time. I have already spent thousands of dollars of my own money trying different materials and designs. I am just dead-set on getting something to work right now. I think my background in research helps me to realize that the majority of my work will be failures and that each failure helps me learn what NOT to do. It also helps me turn in the right direction for my next experiment.

Dr. Griffin has posted many videos on the net of his past work. I believe this video is just another presentation that allows everyone to see his process does work, and works very well. He needs no one else to validate his work.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi All,

Something interesting I noticed, if you look at the background of the video, (at about 0:32 ) he is performing his experiment on what looks like a dining room table. At the far end of the table I see salt and pepper shakers, both open; and on the right side I see a beaker with a funnel on it and some water and whitish solids inside of the beaker.

Does this mean he is using table salt (and maybe table pepper -- lol) inside this tiny reactor. I don't know, just an observation. I don't know if his patent lists table salt (NaCl) in any of the experiments. Then again, maybe he just got through eating lunch.  ;D

Assuming he is married; I just know he must be a brave man, or his wife is very understanding, (or not at home right at that time) because I sure as heck couldn't get away with that if my wife was around. -- LOL!  :D  :D

Go Dr. Griffin!!!!! ;D

Hi All,

I managed to repair the leak in the cover. Started the reactor going, but I noticed it had developed a very tiny leak around the small tungsten electrode. It was so small I just ignored it for my initial testing.

The reactor filled with bubbles as before, but it looked like only about half the tungsten/carbide electrodes were giving off gas. There must be a problem getting good contact between the electrodes. I jiggled the reactor a bit and got them to settle some. Gas started coming off.

I was able to get a flow out of the tube so I hooked it up to the fuel cell. Voltage built up to over 1 volt so I touched it to the small demonstration fan I have. It ran for 3-4 seconds, then died. I disconnected the wire for about 10 seconds, touched it to the fan, again it ran for 3 or 4 seconds or so, then died again. This I repeated dozens of times.

OK, I am getting a flow rate, but not fast enough to sustain the fan continuously, so the rate is slow. I come to the following observations for this first experiment.

1) The reactor top leak is sealed, but I am now sealing the leak around the small electrode. This will take 24 hours to dry.

2) There does not seem to be good connections between the tungsten/carbide electrodes. I will try to jiggle them around a bit and get them to be in better contact with each other.

3) If the rate is still too slow, then I will open the box (NOOOOOO!) and add more tungsten/carbide electrodes. Maybe even joining them together with solder flux to be sure their connections are good. Then I will have to seal the top of the reactor again and wait another 24 hours for it to dry.

4) I am very close here. Just a few more fixes and I should have a good flow rate. Enough to drive the fan and maybe some other devices. Hopefully close to Dr. Griffin's demonstration video.

5) Though the rate was not what I wanted, I believe this can be fixed without too much trouble.

At least I have Dr. Griffin's video to inspire me on.

Thank you all for your interest.

ResinRat2

This is great news!! I am so looking forward to seeing your stuff work and to make one. All I can say is that you are an inspiration and when you get this happening the world will  owe you big time.

go ResinRat2 go !!!

Good work!!  Sorry I have not replied lately, but I have been observing!  Lately I've been having trouble finding a job to fund my research and some experiements I want to conduct with so many different things.  Ugh, money... Pretty soon I'll be paying bills, and that's not going to be fun.  Even if this isn't producing a tremendous amount of gas, it still has a COP approaching infinity since there is no work put into the system (not accounting all of your struggle trying to get the damn thing to work)  and an efficiency that's amazingly high too.  I'd cosider it free energy in the sense that I'm not putting anything in except zinc and tungsten, and that's only once! :D  Best of luck to you, ResinRat!

Congrats on the replication!
I know fixing the leaks will greatly improve your output, as hydrogen is quite tiny and nimble. Altho its unfortunate to hear about the gas contamination happening in your bridge. I've been reading a lot recently about zinc air fuel cells, and its remarkably similar while different. I'm losing my mind over here wishing I could be working on this again.

Zinc-Air Fuel cells?  Never heard of them, sounds like its time to ASK.Com them.

I'll get it working good, just need a bit more time thanks.

Have a good day everybody.

I took  the reactor apart last night after making my decision. I'm going to solder-flux the tungsten/carbide electrodes together to improve the connections between them. Then I'm going to reassemble the reactor and try again.

It's going to be a couple of days to complete all the soldering and resealing. I'll report back when it's completed.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Chris,

Quick search on zinc air cells gave me this link:

http://www.fctec.com/fctec_types_zafc.asp

Over-all By-products are CO2 + H2O plus a zinc anode depletion.

I don't like the CO2 coming off much. Is this what you suggested? Maybe I searched the wrong thing?

CO2 = bad

Definately don't want that as a by product! :D

Good luck, ResinRat2!

Don't worry Chris. Once you start working on this project again you'll be making expansions, upgrades, improvements, etc., etc. You'll get to fix all my screw-ups and design flaws. I get to make all the big mistakes and expense in getting something running. In other words, I get to make the Model T. You get to design and run the Cobra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)

Since the tungsten carbide electrodes are welding rods is it possible to just weld them together in such a way as to give maximum surface area. Something like a porcupine arrangement springs to mind.
