Eagle-Research
is working with people around the world to
develop the Brown's Gas technology.
This
patent-free exchange of information has
resulted in an avalanche of progress in the
Brown's Gas research.
Free
cooperation has made tremendous progress
developing Brown's Gas machines that are far
superior to anything that has existed until now.
The
ER 1150 Water
Torch
has
set a new
standard
in the
industry
For
people who wish to find out more about Brown's
Gas, a large portion of the history and
development of Brown's Gas research is detailed
in 'Brown's Gas, Book One'. It also gives most
of the mathematics needed to understand Brown's
Gas and the theory behind the Gas.
'Brown's
Gas, Book 2' contains all the needed information
to home-build a safe and easy to use commercial
sized Brown's Gas electrolyzer (several people
have now done it, using surplus components). The
latter part of Brown's Gas, Book Two points out
some misconceptions and myths about Brown's Gas
that that Eagle-Research has been able to prove
false with actual experiments. However, Brown's
Gas has many wonderful, beneficial applications.

• No
Power Transformer
An important
difference between the ER 1150 Water Torch
series-cell electrolyzer design, and most other
commercially available 'traditional'
electrolyzers is that our design lacks a power
inductive transformer.
Electrolyzer
cells are 2 volts each, traditionally requiring
a transformer to step down voltage and step up
amperage. Example: a traditional 1200 watt
'short-cell' electrolyzer would transform 240
volts at 5 amps to 3.2 volts (the extra 1.2
volts is required by the rectifier) at 375 amps.
This produces 375 amps worth of Brown's
Gas.
Inductive
transformers are quite noisy, making
conversation difficult. Transformers emit a lot
of heat. Transformers weigh hundreds of pounds.
Transformers are expensive, costing hundreds or
thousands of dollars. Transformers are big,
needing extra room in the enclosure.
For the
series-cell design we line up a series of 120
cells at two volts each, allowing the Water
Torch to be plugged directly into wall voltage.
The series-cell design allows the use of high
voltage and low amperage; making the size,
weight and cost of the electrolyzer drop
dramatically.
The
series-cell
design allows elimination of the transformer
and the
elimination of the fan to cool the transformer
and the energy the fan took to run. The heat and
noise of the transformer are symptoms of lost
electricity (inefficient electrical coupling and
induction). We can now turn that electricity
directly to producing Brown's Gas.
The series-cell
design turns nearly all the electricity taken
from the wall into gas production silently and
with very little waste heat. Series-cell design
allows simple, inexpensive, compact size that is
light-weight.
Now it should be
remembered that AMPERAGE makes Brown's Gas, not
voltage. Again, the
series-cell proves
superior. It
turns out that the amount of gas made by the
series-cell electrolyzer is the product of the
number of cells multiplied by the amperage
flowing through all the cells in series. So 120
cells times 5 amps gives us 600 amps worth of
gas! We have nearly twice the gas with the
series-cell than when we'd used the transformer
with the traditional short cell, because the
electricity previously wasted as heat is now
used to make gas. We have several other
innovations that further increase the efficiency
of the gas production so that we literally
produce the same volume of Brown's Gas using
less than half of the electrical
power.
•
Capacitive Power Control
This innovation
is a major factor that makes our series-cell
design superior to traditional electrolyzers.
Use of capacitors as efficient amperage limiting
devices is based on our Energy Conserver
research. We use capacitors to limit the
amperage going into the ER 1150 Water Torch.
This allows simple, inherent, absolute control
over the amperage that the machine can take from
the wall. No electronics are needed and we've
solved the traditional problem of amperage
run-away caused by hot electrolyte
temperatures.
•
Simple, Powerful, Efficient Electronic Sensors
and Controls.
Because we use
the series-cell design, with high voltage and
low amperage, our electronics can be simple,
small, lightweight, inexpensive, yet tough and
reliable.
This is only one
example of the many reasons that higher voltage,
lower amperage electronics are
superior.
The diodes of a
full wave bridge rectifier are MUCH less
expensive when you only need a low amperage
rating. Rectifiers (diodes) each have a "voltage
drop" across them of about 0.6 Volt. When you
multiply this voltage by the amperage going
through the diode, you get the wattage wasted in
the diode. This wasted wattage shows up as heat.
