Plasma Chemistry, splitting water Burn on Demand
The Flavored Coffee Guy
Hello,
I'm not trying to sell you a torch, just using it as a reference
to a
device that works: http://www.multiplaz.com.ua/english/
Some work has been done for the sake of splitting the water
molecule and
separating the hydrogen from the oxygen.
But, there is not a soul looking at a burn on demand system, similar
to the
torch. Something more along the guidelines of a blast furnace.
If you watch the following video, the Plasma Produced by trapped
steam
was enough to melt a Mica Window, in those few moments that the video
was
shot. That means the mica window came near 1250-1300C in less than
five
seconds. All I did was take tap water, boil it in a bottle cap and
preheat
the glass to prevent the collection of condensate. It took more than
ten
attempts to keep something burning long enough to ignite the steam/
dense
humidity produced. I even had to re-fill my bottle cap several times.
You won't need sound, I don't say anything:

I can't imagine a simple 1.1KW microwave oven producing so much
heat in
that time frame. All it would take is a high pressure steam nozzle at
the
end of a waveguide and an igniter. Then possibly a combustion tube/
round
waveguide that will most likely overheat. I know that microwave
energy
cannot escape a plasma and the energy is absorbed. The wave front,
once it
exists can be fed steam from behind it while the superheated gases
are
vented. Burn water and you get water as exhaust.
I don't have the test equipment, money for components, when I just
fry
microwaves. Plasmas have ways of destroying microwave oven power
supplies,
windows around the waveguides, and as a rule tend foul them up. Most
household microwaves take some time to modify just removing plasma
sensing
circuits/current sensing. Sometimes, finding the schematic is the
hard
part, and makes a 10 dollar microwave from Goodwill cost a 100
anyway. Try
ordering the service manual to find the circuit. It's nice to have a
switch
somewhere. Filament, magnetron, cathode anode, and it's on when you
plug it
in. I prefer to keep the door switch.
