Nitric acid from ambient air: Birkeland Eyde Reaktor - Initial testing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- -V1 model and general testing of setup and the electrical system and its components.
-High voltage is supplied by a .70 kW transformer, and further amplified via a resonant capacitor circuit.
-Electrodes are of the 2 mm wolfram type for TIG.
-Circular ring magnets salvaged from magnetron for arc manipulation.
-3kW SCR for controlling power.
Frankly, miniscule regards for safety
Nice video. Be sure to do the nitrogen dioxide production outside or in a type of fume hood. Long exposure to a few ppms can also cause nasty respiratory health effects like asthma or in higher concentrations pulmonary edema. If lots escapes at once and you take a couple good whiffs of the concentrated stuff you will have delayed pulmonary edema be the cause of your death. NO2 is really dangerous, right with chlorine as far as acute toxicity goes. Be very careful with it.
A Silicon controlled rectifier, moreover a triac. Cutting the voltage phase, thus reducing the current going across the electrodes. Regards
How is it producing how big lighting arc 😮
What is the source of high voltage MOT ?
That transformer is referenced to ground if you didn't change anything... soooo, I would be careful.
it's very dangerous! uau!
But good training handling electrical equipment indeed.
how much yield per kw?
Well. It will make an arc. Kinda overkill in energy density for the particular job. And i would certainly tray to avoid the potential lethality of unregulated high voltage sources such as microwave oven transformers. I know their everywhere. But be careful dude.
Whats an SCR?
4Kv 0.5A arc oven, made from glass. Is it ozone "reactor" because the only thing it does is get warm and smell like ozone.. It takes ages to make nitric acid from trioxide and diokside that way, its only looking cool but its really useless
I beg to differ, the process is industrially proved, as well as my personal results yielded nitrogen (di)oxides and further nitric acid. But it is a pretty energy intensive process indeed.

you mean that this process only needs 2kV instead of 4kV ?
Very beautiful
