Tesla used electromagnetic resonances and a guy named john keely used acoustical resonances to accomplish some of the same things.
John keely is interesting. I believe he was friends with tesla.
Electromagnetic resonance is very different from mechanical resonance. They cannot be directly compared on their capabilities just as sound and light cannot be directly compared. Sure they both involve waves of energy, but that's about all the overlap they have with each other. Electromagnetic energy is subject to quantum forces and effects which do not play any part in mechanical wave energy. Sound does not travel in packets (quanta) and electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate. They are apples and hamburgers by comparison.
John Keely is widely accepted as a fraudster. His work does not stand up to scientific scrutiny. Tesla's work does, for the most part, but much of his work has been exaggerated into the realm of science fiction rather than science. His practical work is sound but his theoretical work is filled with assumption and conjecture that has been expanded on by his cult-like fans who don't really understand the physics in the first place. It's best to leave Tesla out of such discussions because there is a lot of conjecture mixed in with facts when his name comes up. It's difficult to convince a Tesla fanatic that he isn't a god and his stuff didn't always work or work like they believe it did.
I saw a video of these guys building tesla boundary layered turbines. They were using (water heated in a tube that was inside another vaccuum sealed tube) that tube system was mounted in the center of a solar reflector to boil it.
The turbine was screaming. It was wild and super loud too.
Now I dont understand how to run a system like that in a closed system, but I was thinking if you had it near an ocean or lake, where water is abundant; just let it spin and steam off( hell you could collect distilled water near the ocean)
Anyway I've heard of systems where they heat oil or salt into underground barrels, so when the sun goes down they [(water boils at 212°), (oil boils at 572°), (salt boils at 2575°)] pump the fluid up to boil water at night.
Why arent we using systems like this for energy and fresh water in remote areas?
I heard tesla said his boundary layer turbine was his favorite invention. And where his failed we have abundant access to higher quality metals for the thin discs.
Apples to hamburgers, lol
Could an external electro magnetic force (like coils wrapped around the outside of the container the water and electrodes are in) help?
Now that's an interesting topic. This is in the realm of magnetohydrodynamics where magnetic and electric fields can be used to move water or have moving water produce an electric current. The MHD phenomenon is what the book/movie submarine Red October is based on. The story goes that the propulsion for Red October is magnetohydrodynamic and nearly 100% silent because it uses superconducting magnets and electric fields to move water through a series of tubes along the sides of the submarine. A nuclear reactor provides the necessary energy for the magnets and the electric field to induce large amounts of water to flow and propel the sub. A lot of work has been done on this very topic and application, but MHD refuses to scale up to the level of making this practical. It seems to be one of those phenomena that only works on smaller scales. I'm sure that one day we will see MHD propulsion on a larger scale, but a lot of work needs to be done before then.
As for using MHD in HHO production, the presence of focused magnetic fields in the vicinity of the electrodes could help improve the efficiency of the bond breaking and electric interaction with the ions. This is somewhat similar to things that are being done with hot plasma fusion reactors, but the scale and energies involved may far outstrip the benefits of small scale production of HHO. But while this might be the case, it does make me wonder about another energy source that could influence the ionization improvements for water. Ionizing radiation in the vicinity of the electrodes may positively affect the process by adding more energy at the atomic scale to get the bonds to break more easily. Not sure if any work has been done in this area, especially considering water is a good moderator of ionizing radiation, but it does seem intriguing to me. I don't think I want to do any practical experiments with it simply because of the nature of the materials needed and the crazy state of clown world that would likely make this a crime.
But yeah, there's a lot of interesting possibilities with HHO production. It reminds me a lot of the work done by amateur scientists on LENR (low energy nuclear reactions, sometimes called cold fusion). The LENR work has done some big things with electrode efficiencies and that could bleed over into HHO production improvements. I think some amateur scientist out there is on the cusp of a breakthrough in LENR/HHO and could very well change the world forever. I hope to see this in my lifetime because it will be more like the science of yesteryear where independent work made the breakthroughs rather than state funded (((science))). I'd like to see that resurgence in independent practical experimentation take over once again while pushing the simulation-driven science to the background. That would be awesome.
