I modified your drawing to try to answer, "why is it that they (L1, L2) are 180 degrees out of phase, although when you use L1 and L2 without a neutral for a 240 volt circuit L1 and L2 are not out of phase?
Which is not really true it is about the reference. Anyway, here is the modified drawing...
My assumption has been it is the electromagnetic field starting from the center of the wire that pushes the electrons outward.
However, this would also be true of a DC current, but it isn't.
So why does an AC current cause electrons to move toward the skin of a wire?
I don't recall ever seeing...
To reduce the annular volume between both tubes by inserting enough mass of an appropriate and chemically compatible material.
Kind of like putting a brick in the toilet tank to increase water level height but reduce the Volume. Clever!
Thanks, Mikek
Flow volume is not the desired outcome, flow level is, the higher the level the longer the treatment time.
The telescoping tubes may be a solution, although probably harder to implement. At least for non machinists. Still all of this needs to be a conductor that is insulated, setting up an...
Nice thought, but I want, simple, so we can do most of the work and only have to hire out some machining.
I'm helping my son, a chemist, I have an electronic background, we are try to do mechanical engineering. :eek:
So I'm soliciting ideas and trying come up with an idea that works and is...
Is the overall structure (the aluminum tubes) outside your control? i.e. are you forced to retrofit your solution?
This is all design phase. Trying to think of every aspect before build. We started with small scale test tube with a center electrode surround by and aluminum tube, Then built a 2'...
A metal tube with O-rings would not need the drilled holes because the top of the sliding tube would set the spillover height. And the O-ring friction would hold it in position.
Hmm... it doesn't work out that way. Both tubes are electrodes so must be conductive. Even if the sliding tune were...
Sorry, I added info to my last post about temperature, the system will run at 90*C, the sleeves are made of Elastomeric Polyvinyl Chloride only good to about 50*C. I thought these were a great solution to another problem I have until I found the temperature problem. I haven't found them in a...
Consider an elastic rubber sleeve that can be positioned on the outside of the 4" tube. To selectively block holes, slide it up or down.
An alternative would be a harder plastic sleeve that slides inside the 4" tube.
That is something I have thought about, I like it as an easy solution. The...
