newb, are you saying the scientific method is irrelevant and childish?

Let me spell it out for one last time...

Yes, the scientific method is irrelevant here since we are dealing with ERRORS in CALCULATIONS... NOT ERRORS IN MEASUREMENT (or DATA).


I'm calling you childish because you're just trying to argue about  ANYTHING you can think of, even when it isn't related....  And now you making fun of my calculations which you wanted to see in the first place.. LOL.

Remember this?

will you get into the details in a new thread? i can start one for you if you don't know how. i would love to hear these details, i would like to see your math on the calculation errors too.  ;)

And now you don't want to see the math/calculations....

Quote
again you're just giving us calculations... which most of us learned long ago in high school chemistry. misquoting a scientific experiment (ie:faraday) is not "doing science"... that would only qualify as a lame hypothesis, maybe.

The calculations errors are the problem.    Most people think a MMW of 7.35 is 100 percent efficiency, and this doesn't seem correct.     And this is just one of the problems!

try the scientific method i outlined for you in my last post and don't forget it requires some actual effort on your part, beyond parroting some wiki page, an hhoforums.com post http://www.hhoforums.com/showpost.php?s=ac9700662d8cbac1f944833775da4513&p=28439&postcount=9 or whatever.
by the way is that your post over on hhoforums.com? or are you just plagiarizing someone?

No I'm not  plagiarizing  anyone.. .. Did you even look at the post dates? The one in this thread is from 5/13 .. that one is from 5/15.. Anyway...........


Here's the  problem with  measuring Faraday efficiency in series cells.

In a series cell:                    + N N N N  N -            for example.. Running at 12V, at 4A.

If you use  4A to calculate Faraday efficiency,  I think that would give you an inaccurate Faraday efficiency number because, there are more than 4 Amps doing work in the cell...

Here's why....     Each cell is running at about 2 V, and has a current of 4 A running through it... So if you add up all the AMPS performing work in the whole cell, you have 6 * 4 A .. Which is 24 Amps doing work at 2V at any time.   Using  4A might give you 300 percent Faraday, etc.

sorry NOP, that's what i have been after the whole time... pages now.  ::)
he has nothing, no data from boyce for a baseline even. just this hypothesis of his that he has absolutely no data to back up either. he is still hung up on thinking that i disagree with faraday (which i don't) and not seeing that all we want is some substance from HIM. good luck with it if you try to get anything out of him. all i got was him parroting and possibly plagiarizing others words.
don't worry, i won't wait for anyone to post datas they don't want, or can't, provide in this or any other forums.
 
 
btw
about the Scientific Method, the text itself is not childish.
being irrelevent, in the context of this tread, is for every one to decide, alone.
but i find the way you have highlighted parts of the text to be childish tho.
do not take the above out of context please.
read the remaining of my post to understand what i mean by that.
 
you seem not see all the implications of some of the phrases in that text.
Quote
The experiment is the most important part of the scientific method.
this is so true.
but, in your quest for newbie's cells datas, you seem to see only what you want to see in this phrase.
 
that phrase mean more then just "you must do experiments"
it is so important as it also imply to have the proper tools, and most of all, the methods, to ensure the exactitude of the measurements taken in the experiments.
 
i sometime come to false conclusions about the measurements i get from my experiments.(not only in the hho field)
and sometime it is hard to find the proper method(s) to make shure they hold or not.
 
Ex:
i did stumble on cells that seem to produce more gas. more then once.
i can't say they were over 100% efficient as i have no way to make shure without isolating those cells.
and when i try to isolate the cells, it kill the "over" production.
together the cells are not over 68% efficiency, compaired to Faraday.
give or take a ~10% error margin, mainly from the gases output that i can't analyse, the method use to collect the gases and the timing method.
while i could probably fix the timing method issue fairly easily, the other 2 need tools that i can't make nor buy.
 
in this, this is what i think need to be highlighted:
Quote
You can not PROVE the hypothesis with a single experiment, because there is a chance that you made an error somewhere along the way. What you can say is that your results SUPPORT the original hypothesis.
not just one part because they go together, the possible errors can not be excluded.
and to me, the last phrase is just a rehash of the "You can not PROVE" statement.

hehe
you are saying it even better then the highlighted parts in my previous post examples.
 
if you have 10 cells in series, the current passing through all cells will be..., 10 Amps.
resistance in series are voltage divider.
15 Volts / 10 cells = 1.5 Volts

The bottom line is   if you have over 100 percent "Faraday efficiency"  you're screwing up your maths somewhere..

by the way, don't change my posts. it reflects badly on you.

yes, assumption, but a pertinent one.
you have put the emphasis on that phrase, in a way to tell newbie that he must do experiments on Mr. Boyce cells stack or his knowledge of electrolysis will wort nothing.

by saying "obviously..." you are showing that you are somewhat agreeing on the explanation i have gave of it.

that is the reason of my assumption.

sorry if i am annoying you.
but the day i will stop being meticulous and stop looking at the small details, i will also stop doing experiments.
stoping to look at the small details would render them useless.

by the way, don't change my posts. it reflects badly on you.

your quote of me
my actual words in which i was quoting another website.
your remark does not bother me at all.
quoting someone that quoted someone else does not automaticaly make him looking bad at all.
 
if i was to change your post to make it say what i want, to make a fool of you by changing your words, to twist your words to make them say what you did not said, that would be bad.
 
but that is not what i did.
i have not hided the fact that i changed the highlighting either.
 
concider this as the end of this discution.
i won't post anymore on this subject, it is way off topic.
elaborating more on it in private would do nothing good either.
 
you have your ways of expressing yourself and you did.
and this forum being public, we have our rights to express our opignions and we did.[/]
 
have a good day sir.

so what is the details of the cell eff.


And as far as faraday goes, just as soon as you can tell me what volts he was imagining to push those electrons. Other than that faraday is boring.

put faraday aside for a while, and tell us what you know on the cell.

no, by saying obviously i am saying obviously. as in, it goes without saying... which, if you had read and comprehended my other posts to newb you would see that. like the one where i said something along the lines of and here i thought you were the guy that a built a boyce 101, DESIGNED A CORRECT AND PROPER EXPERIMENT...
i capitalized and emphasized that so you don't miss it twice. ( and i seems i must give pedants explanations for what i choose to emphasize along with a full disclosure of why ) correct and proper infers the right tools and methods pretty clearly i thought, i'll try and be more pedantic to please you  ::)

sorry if i am annoying you.
but the day i will stop being meticulous and stop looking at the small details, i will also stop doing experiments.
stoping to look at the small details would render them useless.

you're not.
"stoping to look at the small details would render them useless."  this makes no sense and is a direct contradiction to the previous line of your post.

quoting someone that quoted someone else does not automaticaly make him looking bad at all.

no, what you did was wrong. plain and simple. if you want to 'correct', and i'm using that term in the loosest sense, you should have posted what i said, VERBATIM, in the quote box. then, on a new line of your own describe how you, in your infinite wisdom think it should be, in your own words, and not in the box that you are using to quote me with. regardless of the fact that you described what it was that you were doing, you did it wrong. you can't change someones quote... that's why it's called a quote.   ::)
furthermore, the emphasis that you took such umbrage to and felt the unstoppable urge to to 'correct' (again, i am using this word very, very loosely here) wasn't even my emphasis to begin with, it was on the page i quoted, which makes you look ridiculous and your argument moot.

yeah see that winking smiley? that's there for a reason... mainly being, i already knew you were nothing more than a talking head before i started this thread.

No I'm not  plagiarizing  anyone.. .. Did you even look at the post dates? The one in this thread is from 5/13 .. that one is from 5/15.. Anyway...........
of course i did. actually you posted here at May 15, 2009, 03:52:51 PM. the hhoforums.com thread was at 05-16-2009, 10:21 PM. since it is damn near word for word with your post here, something shady is going on.
the server can be on the other side of the world from stephans and what does that do to the dates? anyways, you're avoiding the question again. is that or is it not your post over at hhoforums? cause i'm gonna go talk to that guy over at hhoforums about this and see who's plagiarizing.

Here's the  problem with  measuring Faraday efficiency in series cells.

another soliloquy of calculations?  LOL

Wilby, you do that and let me know what you find out...


TheNOP,  It's pointless to argue with this guy... everything he says is pretty much irrelevant to what he's responding.

so what is the details of the cell eff.
- 96 cells, wet stack
- 3 independant power supply fully isolated from each other.
a steady current one(0 - 300 volts, 0 - 30 amps) and 2 pulsed DC circuit(fully controlable, can also be mixed)  on their own supply

i did stumble on cells that seem to produce more gas. more then once.
i can't say they were over 100% efficient as i have no way to make shure without isolating those cells.

while i could probably fix the timing method issue fairly easily, the other 2 need tools that i can't make nor buy.
 
what else do you want to know ?
but maybe you are not interested in my cells stack since i am not claiming OU.

i agree, but i have put it on "language barrier" fault.
english is not my primary language, not even my second one.

i find this very on topic and is the true way to calculate series cells.
 
for those who might be confuse by the 24 amps value while only 4 are said to pass through all the cells, here an other way to see it.
12 volts * 4 amps = 48 watts
2 volts * 4 amps = 8 watts * 6 cells = 48 watts
2 volts * 24 amps = 48 watts

soliloquy
1 : the act of talking to oneself
2 : a dramatic monologue that represents a series of unspoken reflections

  regardless of what WilbyInebriated might think, you are not alone to be interested in that kind of informations.

i assume you want to see for yourself if i did'nt made errors while calculating.
for a not ou cells stack... ?
 
you will have no proof from me as i have nothing to prove to anyone, except to myself.
do your own experiments.
and, if you think you have something, and want your peers to review it, post your own data.
as for me, i have nothing interesting to post about my stack else then what i already posted.
 
68% was the highest result i ever had, with so few gases output that it is not usefull for most applications.

i love it how everyone quotes faradays numbers as flawed but still is used as a referal to how to measure overunity. Faradays number refers to ampere you all know this right. You want to build a device to kill faradays law? you need to use the same voltage he did. its not watts nor does he state watt or joule or anything like that, its AMPERE. Also faraday's law only applies to those using his voltage. Otherwise it can only be used as a guide. And production of only 1 or 2 % overunity is of no use to us. As we cannot use this sustainably right now. You need to look at approx 400% overunity for use in a ICE, YES 400% (ICE are about 30% efficient and then the alternator at about 80%) so argue all you want over the clause of a few mild percentage points.
