First Prize Victor demonstrated a working flying triangle. This was powered by a 40 Kilo Volt power supply and fed to the triangle through a very fine wire. |
Second Prize Ales ...had three entries. The first was a water electrolyzer, which very simply and efficiently produced Ph 9 water by using 240 Vdc in a two-glass jar system with stainless steel electrodes. The inner jar had the bottom cut off and replaced with a cellophane membrane tightly secured around the bottom. There was an electrode inside of the inner jar and another one within the outer jar. Ales second entry was a "Bee Sucker" which was used to suck out bees from a hive. He uses the bees for " bee sting therapy". The unit was made from a modified portable vacuum cleaner. Ales third entry was a "Bee Hotel" for safely and comfortably storing the "sucked out" bees. It fitted to the bottom of the bee sucker, the bottom was then slid off and the bees shaken down into their very nice new accommodation.See Jan 02 Newsletter |
Third Prize Bruce had a "Black Box" which incorporated electronic control. This was used as a petrol fuel vaporiser. He stated that in cold weather it improved the economy from 28mpg to 42mpg. He said that he achieved efficiencies of 48 to 56mpg in warmer weather. |

Rodger with his amazing ballbearing
motor. This motor is simply a shaft through two bearings. The
motor will run in whatever direction it is spun to start. The
power supply is a 12 volt car battery. |

One lamp and a short wire. The lamp brightness will not change with an input voltage down to 8.5 volts. |
Ken's Constant Current Lamp Driver, designed
for low voltage power supplies ( eg 12 volt solar ). The lamp
brightness will not change when a long lamp feed wire is used.
Up to three 20 watt lamps could be used on the prototype; the
wire loss remaining the same as for one lamp. |
Two lamps and a long thin wire. Note the same brightness as with one lamp and short wire. |
Percy's Portable Biodiesel Unit. This unit
has an inbuilt heater and stirring mechanism. |

Victor's sound from a gas flame experiment. The power supply is under the radio, 100 watt amp to the right of the powersupply. |
Another shot of Vic's experiment. |
35 amp power supply Ken is constructing for a friend, it can turn on and off in less the 100 nano seconds. It should run very well around 42.7 kHz. |
Strange things were happening in the dark after ASTRO's meeting last night (Aug 12). What's Piero up to? |
The first public demonstration of a new fuel delivery system. Note the electric heater in the background (as a load for the generator). |
It runs very well at any load, with very low emission levels and fuel consumption. More about fuel types later. |
Can you see how it works? |
