Prime Ideas

I wanted to post a few pictures of the latest device along with a the latest couple of video tests.  These pictures were taken of the latest device but the videos encompass the latest few tests I’ve done.  The last video in this series includes tests from the latest device you will see here.

Test 6: This test shows the new container that I’ve built along with a test run using 4 electrodes of 5/16″ S.S. Threaded Rod. This test uses + - + - on the probes

Test 7: This test is the same as Test 6 except that I’ve switched the electrodes to being + + - -

Test 8: This test is the same as Test 6 Just to try to see which is generating the most bubbles.

Test 9: This test is done only using the 2 center posts instead of dividing the current between 4 posts.

Test 10: This test uses the two center electrodes but with S.S. springs around the bolts to see if the coil shapes of the springs increase our output or not.

Test 11: Same test as 10 but now we’re capturing gas with cap and letting gas leak into water container to see the gas bubbles.

Test 12: This test uses 2 center electrodes but this time we have wrapped 2 pieces of copper wire with fingers that overlap in order to get the electrodes even closer.

Test 13: This test is completely different and uses S.S. Electric switch plates as my electrodes. See pictures below for the design…

Well, my doubts are already forming about the latest addition to the test plate.  I have not made any video’s yet of the device as I don’t want to waste time if it doesn’t work but I have put it together and done a preliminary test.  What I found?

 Well, what I found is that looking over the design put up on the Internet and the claims that its been running for years seems a little strange.  Strange you ask?  but why?  Well, lets get right down to it.  Keeping in mind these are not the final tests, only the preliminary for the evening. 

First of all lets talk amperages.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I had not actually performed a test like this yet because I have not figured out how to keep the amps down.  Well, my earlier thoughts seem well formed because this baby cooks.  It is very very active at generating the hydrogen.  However, how is the guy dealing with the heat involved with hooking up 25-30amps on a plastic body casing?  Within just a few minutes of being connected to the battery my negative post began to smoke as it started to melt the PVC cap that I have the elements resting in.

Further tests will reveal for sure if this is real or not, but I have to say at this point that things look a might bit hot for this to play off.  Unless I make the entire thing out of stainless which could deal with the heat, but then that raises a lot of other issues that will have to be dealt with.

I’m going to try to email the person that wrote those articles and see what he suggests because if he says its not an issue then he obviously has not been running this thing.  Not with that kind of power running through it.  It would be above boiling point in the water within a very few minutes.

The upside?  It cooks.  This thing is really pumping the hydrogen out!!

Stay tuned…

Quantum Physics is a rather strange bird indeed.  Most people that study and use its numerous wave functions to make predictions of the locations of very small particles, do so without the vaguest idea of what exactly it means.  We use Newton’s laws everyday and they make sense to us.  Quantum Physics on the other hand, makes very accurate predictions of all sorts of strange things, yet the why remains a mystery sealed from our eyes.

There have been numerous experiments done all around the world that purport to prove these very small things communicate at speeds greater than the speed of light.  That they do so instantly, even, beyond the realm of time itself.  In fact, it is hypothesized that these levels of communication actually reverse time in order to play out.  That they some how run ahead of time to determine what is going to happen, and then backup to perform their duty.  Particles in these states are often referred to as entangled.  I’m not really sure about the exact manor in which one entangles particles, but its said that they can entangle them, transport them to the opposite sides of the earth, and then anything done to one will immediately be seen in the other.

I’ve searched the Internet for signs of any details of how they performed these tests.  Such as what the process is that entangles, how did they transport to opposite sides of the earth, how did they determine they were communicating instantly when we can’t?  There are hundreds of questions one would have in a conversation such as this and I assume only that they take the stance of religious teachers in that its beyond our understanding so why try to explain.  I’ve purchased many books on the subject and they all talk about it, but provide no details.

I’ve also watched very nice documentaries on the subject such as “What the Bleep do we know?” and “What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole”,  yet none talk at length on this subject.  In the “What the Bleep” film, I heard one person talking about the visual viewing of a single particle taking up 2 and up to 3000 different places in space at the same point in time.  Yet, again, no real information.

One thing I can tell you for fact, is this:  A lot of speculation has been added to the subject of Quantum Physics that makes one question the very foundation of his/her beliefs.  Some may be beneficial, some may not, and making a distinction between the two might prove impossible at best.  The real problem as I see it however, is that the very people doing the experiments are talking about the results as if they are factual and understood, when in fact, they are the furthest from the truth.

The good old two-slit experiment, of which I’ve done quite a bit of research and actually have built a device to start testing, has been the foundation of a lot of speculation within Quantum Physics.  Quantum Physics predicts quite a bit of fairly accurate results over and over, and therefore, tests along with their appeared results are given this magical property before anyone really has time to digest them.  In my opinion, the 2 slit experiment is but one example.

Its safe to say that a lot of the magical properties given to Quantum Physics originated from the results of this single experiment carried on many years ago.  You won’t purchase a single book or article attempting to explain the wonders of Quantum Physics that doesn’t mention this experiment in detail.  I’ve been able to find no detailed documentation about the experiment to date, but have figured out the majority of its pieces.  Its final results have caused physicists world round, to think of many-world universes, Quantum Logic, NeoRealism and many more intriguing topics.  It stems from the thought that single electrons fired through the 2 slits, still interfere with themselves, which made everyone assume that they must exist in all places at once.

Perhaps all of this is true, however, the fact remains, that Science has a bad habit of stating a hypothesis as fact to the world, even though within its ranks, it’s still unproven.  Science, to those of us looking in from the outside is very much a religious organization, unwilling to open itself up to the world.  If you don’t have the degree and the years of paid study, then you are not worthy of participating.  Its a shame they feel this way, because there may be people all across the world with points of view that might aid in a final answer, but don’t have a way to voice the information.

So as an example, we’ll end with another point of view on the subject of communication between particles.  Of course, if in fact these particles were sent to the other sides of the world my hypothesis might be incorrect.  But one has to ask how they are even seeing these particles that are millions of times smaller than a particle of light.  You could liken it to trying to look at a water drop by throwing other water drops at it.  But speaking of water, what would happen if you had two sticks floating just under the surface of water and you did something to disturb the water?  Would both sticks appear to move instantly as one?  Perhaps there are hundreds of other possible explanations, but until one figures out how exactly they are looking at these things, so small that you can’t even see them in an electron microscope, its hard to know if such thoughts are worth while.

Through friends that are following along with what I’m doing, I received a link to http://www.waterpoweredcar.com/, which contained quite a few interesting articles.  Despite the fact that the person who wrote most of them seems a little eccentric with some of his comments, he is the only person that has mentioned a small fact that I’ve found necessary for any experiment of this type.  This is the use of HKO or some other electrolyte in the process.  I have found in my experiments so far, that it at least seems unreasonable to expect to get too much Hydrogen out of water alone without adding something to it.  The electricity just doesn’t flow.

So, I am borrowing from his design and attempting to build what he describes to see what we end up with.  His design is actually quite interesting and takes care of something I’ve been considering myself, but haven’t done it due to what I thought would be extreme amperage requirements.  However, since he says it works I’m going to give it a shot. 

You can review his site for more info and I’ll be putting up videos soon.  I finished the assembly of the plates (which are stainless light switch covers purchased from Home Depot) and 1/4? Threaded Rod last night.  The design calls for the plates to be attached to two Rods where one Rod is our Cathode and the other our Anode.  The plates are situated so that every other plate touches only one or the other rod so that they are arranged in a -+-+-+- arrangement.  I’ll explain it further in the videos that I’ll probably begin later tonight or tomorrow. 

The reason I’ve put this type of test off for so long is that the closer I put two electrodes in this solution, the more electricity flow we end up with and the hotter the water becomes.  I’m expecting this solution to almost boil the water but maybe not.  I’m building a little larger container than he called for which means we’ll also have more water. 

Another statement that he made which I’ve already figured out here is that a 3% solution of HKO (Potassium Hydroxide) is the best mixture.  He did mention something else that I didn’t know however, and that is that once the HKO is added to the container, there is no further need to add any more because it does not evaporate or break down with the hydrogen.  According to him it stays in the vessel and remixes with fresh water that is added. 

Here is a link to the basic design idea.  He also calls for a blow port that basically brings air in from the exhaust manifold but I’m going to put that off until after I see what the original tests show. http://waterpoweredcar.com/images/hydrobooster.pdf
Stay tuned for test setup and final testing videos to be uploaded soon. 

If you spend any time at all studying Quantum Physics, then I’m sure you’ve already read numerous examples and claims about the two-slit experiment.  In fact, if you’ve been paying attention, you probably already figured out, that this is one of the most important experiments presented.  You won’t pickup a book or watch a documentary on Quantum Physics, that the person doesn’t at least offer a glimpse of what this experiment means. 

The problem however, arises when only these explanations are entertained. Can there not be others that make just as much sense?  Could we be interpreting the data wrong?  Does Quantum Physics have to have that mystical quality about it that puts it in line with the unknown, unexplainable, unattainable?

While I don’t purport to be an expert, nor do I claim vast knowledge on the subject, I have read numerous volumes on the subject and have my own opinion.  That is the reason for this blog entry today.  Not to tell the answer, but to offer up another possible piece of the puzzle in Quantum Physics.

First I’d like to explain the experiment:  The two-slit experiment was originally done using sunlight and a few small cards that split the light.  The goal was to determine if light was particle or wave.  The thought was, that if indeed it were a particle, splitting it up would amount to having a simple shadow on the wall where the light was broken apart.  In this case, you can think of shooting small bullets at a wall, with another surface positioned between you and the wall.  The bullets could hit everywhere on the wall, except for the small area where you are being blocked.

Now if we expand on this theory and add a second wall, again, we should see bullets hitting the wall everywhere except where our two dividers or blocks are positioned.  Seeing this would prove that light acted like a particle (or really small bullets) of light.  However, the results baffled everyone that looked.  What happened when they added the second slit, caused the shadows on the back wall to cancel each other out and instead of having two slits of light, we had many small strips of shadow and light moving across the wall.  The only way to explain what was seen, was that the light was moving as a wave (much like an ocean wave) and that as it passed through the two slits and redefined itself on the backside of our slits, the two separate waves started to cancel each other out and didn’t reach the back wall as a solid line of light and dark, but of back and forth patterns based on the width and distance apart of our slits.

However, our great experimenter didn’t stop there.  He next decided that he needed to know what would happen if he were to fire a single electron at the slits.  Would he get two slits on the back wall like you’d expect when firing a single bullet through the hole?  His thought of course, was yes, he would.  After all, how would you get an interference pattern when only firing a single electron?  What would it be interfering with?

Things are not so simple in this wonderful universe however, and what we see when firing a single electron through the slits, is that after a period of time we begin to see the same patterns that we saw when sending billions through.  Of course it takes a few hours of doing this to get a definable pattern, but they are there nonetheless.  But how could this be?  What are they interfering with as they move through the slits?  This is where all known logic stops and imaginations take over.  After all, how could one think logically in relation to such a strange occurrence?

More experiments were designed that tested to see exactly which slit a single electron went through when they fired it.  But what happened was that whichever slit they looked through, the electron would enter the other.  Like the electron saw them looking and went somewhere else.  So next they attempted to look into both slits together to see what would happen and things got even stranger!  Now, when looking at both holes, the pattern stopped completely and the expected result of two slits on the back wall showed up.  Like, because we looked, the wave pattern stopped.

After many years of thinking about these strange results, scientists decided that what has to be happening, is that the electron is going through both holes at the same time.  That it exists at all possible locations at once, and that by us looking to see what its doing, we force it to choose one specific location, therefore canceling out all others and canceling out the wave properties of its movement.  That until we look at something, it doesn’t exist in a single location, but in all locations.  All things happen at the same time and only by our observance do we force one single result to show up.  These thoughts led to such things as multi-world universes where upon each decision that must be made, causes an infinite number of parallel universes to spring up in order to allow all cases to be true, yet only one result to show in each separate universe.

Yes I know, this is getting rather deep indeed and I’ll stop there.  You can purchase a few books if you’d like to read up on this further.  However, I wanted to end this entry with another plausible solution to the results seen during these tests.  One that not many people will except because they’ve long ruled out the existence of a specific property that I think must exist for anything to work.  Something they say is not required and can’t be seen.  This something, is called the Aether.  Its something that scientist of old always thought existed.  It’s like the water that carries our waves across the ocean.  After all, water is not a wave; it’s just the medium in which the wave travels.  So it made logical sense to them that this must be true.

However, no one could ever detect the existence of the Aether and Einstein came along with his Theory of Relativity and all but put a nail in its coffin.  He declared that you didn’t need the Aether for things to exist, but he always left room for something existing.  He just didn’t know what. 

One more small point before I give my explanation.  Quantum Physics is not an exact science.  It in fact is a system of mathematical equations that form predictions of where particles will appear based on a complex stream of input.  But over the years, it has again and again proved correct in its assumptions so everyone lends more and more magical qualities to its facets.  The most interesting quality of Quantum Physics functions however is just what they are…  They are what are referred to as “Wave Functions”!!!

In all definitions of a wave, it’s an energy force that travels through some medium, yet scientists were now telling us a medium isn’t necessary.  That light and electrons travel through nothingness!  Think of a wave in water.  If there is nothing going on with the water, such as it sitting in a glass, it just sits there, nothing happens.  But if you splash your finger into the glass, you see a wave.  The wave is a result of the energy traveling through the water that you added with your finger.

So, if we were to add the properties of the Aether back into existence and then push a light particle along its surface, we would be making a wave much like the wave of the ocean, or our glass of water.  It’s only a single finger in our glass and it’s only a single particle in our experiment.  But the wave exists nonetheless.  So as the light particle moves towards the slits, it travels within the wave it is creating as it moves.  The wave hits the slits and then separates, carrying the particle to the back screen, canceling out in areas and enforcing in others just like a water wave would behave.  Yet, we have only a single particle, not billions of the same particles existing in all realms at once.

So now we have offered another example of the problem without going mystic.  So what about the looking part of the problem.  After all, when we looked at the particles they changed their behavior.  I think this is plausible as well. To explain, lets think about our water again.  If I were to create a wave that moved through two slits, and in those slits I setup screens to filter the water though, would I not essentially be canceling out the wave itself?  I would smooth out my original waves so that on the backside of the slits they would not longer be waves.

To help think about this, you have to think about what it is to look at something.  In order for us to see anything, including detecting light particles, we have to look.  But what can we look with?  Well, with light of course.  But wait! if we look with light particles, that means that we are shooting our light particle with other light particles, would this not effect our original particle in some major way?  As another example, imagine having a large boat floating across the ocean making waves and we are much larger in size.  We can’t see the waves, nor the boat, but we know they are there from experiments.  But we want to see what is going on, so because we are so massive compared to our boats, we fire other boats of equal size at our single boat in order to determine where it is at any particular moment in time.  So looking at something is not quite as simple as just looking!  But then this opens up a whole different topic indeed, so lets just stick to the subject at hand.

As you can see, applying Occum’s Razor to the topic might yield a little better explanation of what we see (or don’t see), and allow us to provide a better explanation of the expected results without going mystic.  Is this the answer?  I don’t know, but I suspect its a lot closer than having billions of universes popping into existence every second of our lives!
