Stan was exceedingly protective of his "invention" and the details of how it worked. He absolutely refused to show anyone the circuitry that he used which was in a "black box" when he performed his demonstrations. Think about this for a moment. The concept was so simple and straightforward that he couldn't allow anyone to see the simplicity of his black box. Once a knowledgeable person was able to see what it really was, then replication of the concept would be possible by many others.
His documentation, and strange explanations, were designed to shroud the simpicity of the concept in a lot of deceptive "gobbledy gook" in order to make it seem far more difficult than it truly is.
Most who've tried to follow his documents have gone astray by placing too much faith in the accuracy of his circuit diagrams and explanations. Just take them for what they really are, an obfuscation, and cling to the simple principles of the concept.
Well Insulated concentric tubes with a very thin layer of highly efficient high voltage insulating material.
A static high voltage applied to the tubes to develop the high voltage gradient across the water between the tubes.
A critical pulse frequency superimposed upon the static high voltage which will serve to stimulate the atoms in the water molecules to break their bonds and separate into gases.
The pulses must be very, very narrow; time durations measured in nanoseconds. The pulse frequency and amplitude must be "tuned" to effect the desired production of gases between the plates of the cell. The frequency of the pulses will be in the 20 KHz range, the 40 KHz range or in the 120 KHz range. Or you may use the Bob Boyce method of applying three harmonically related pulse frequencies simultaneously.
Bob Boyce has made some interesting breakthroughs in pulse generation with his Pulse Width Modulator circuits and his toroidal transformer. There are numerous ways to produce the static high voltage (Kilovolts) with high frequency components such as are used in the Solid State Tesla Coil drivers.
The cell, when properly constructed will resemble a capacitor in its makeup. There will be no direct current path between the plates through the water, but the pulses superimposed upon the high voltage will result in an AC/RF currrent because of the reactance of the cell. It is this current flow, which should be relatively small, that will stimulate the water molecules.
If you already have electronics training and experience it will not be too much of a challenge to experiment with the concept. If you are lacking training and experience in electronics then you'll need some help. Check to see if there's a Ham Radio Operator anywhere close. They're always very happy to help others with electronic projects.
And by all means start small. To test the concept construct a small cell with flat, parallel plates as Stan did. No need to go full bore into the full sized unit until you've mastered the techniques of tuning it up. The tuning must be done very slowly and will require a great deal of patience. This is not the kind of project that beginners will have any success with.
As always, anytime you're working with high voltage, exercise extreme care. The high voltage supply doesn't need to produce very much power. Make certain that the high voltage it produces is low current so as to be non-lethal. Never take unnecessary risks.
