I have discovered that by hooking 2 electrodes in series, I can reduce the amps draw drastically and at the same time increase the sq, in of plate surface.
Do you think this is the right direction? To use as large a surface as possible?
Well, all that doesn't sound too promising. Do you know of a better way to deliver more watts to the electrode?
Everything I'm reading indicates a pulse wave generator, but all the mosfets seem really wimpy.
I can use direct constant current and get a lot of gas, but that also causes a lot of...
Thanks again. Now another question.
If I use a IRF3704 (20V 77A supposed to give 87W) but I don't understand this, as V times A equals W. Can you explain this?
Also, this is an N channel MOSFET. Can that interchange directly with a P channel?
I have 225 sq. in of .040 gap and want to apply...
OK. So far, so good. I'm learning slowly. More questions follow.
i've learned that an IRF540 delivers 10A. Queston: If two of these are hooked in paralell, does that deliver 20A to the load?
Thanks for all the answers.
I have been doing more reading. I read that Myers had good results using very low amps, and apparently higher voltage. So now I am wondering about using a sq wave signal to operate a flyback converter instead of a FET. Couldn't the voltage be raised and thus the amps...
So are you saying that the component on the right in the schematic (the triangle) is a schmitt trigger? That is what the people at the supply house couldn't identify.
And I think a max draw of 25A from the battery source would be ok. Not sure how this relates to amps in the electrode?
OK. So if I want say 20K frequency, what would "C" and "R" be?
+B would have to be 12V DC, right?
And I'm still foggy as to what I ask for to get the 8 pin component.
I'm getting there. Thanks for being so patient.
Edit:
I have another question while we are at it.
What determines the N ampres?
Thanks, I got the schematic, but still have a few questions. The people at the only supply house near here seem to need numbers to know what I want. What do I ask to get these:
1. The item labeled 1458 (or is that a generic that I can use)?
2. The 8 pin mosfet (?)
3. The value for capacitor "C"...
I want to build a HHO generator, and need a square wave generator to operate the electrodes.
The wave generator will run on 12V DC, and I would like to have an output of 12V and up to 25 Amps. A control to vary the on/off time of the wave would be nice too.
A schematic with valid part numbers...
