RE: Electrostatic Oil Cleaning
RE: Electrostatic Oil Cleaning
I'm most interested in the induction charging process. It seems that the electric field between the HV electrode and the grounded electrode induces a charge in the particle impurities? These are then attracted to and held at either electrode right?
If I wanted to induce a negative charge throughout an electrolyte in a cylinder what would the easiest way to do this be?
Can a homogenous charge be maintained throughout the electrolyte without the charge collecting solely on the charged surfaces of the container?
RE: Electrostatic Oil Cleaning
Simply put a positive charge on an electrode and the electrolyte will be negative in comparison to that electrode. Putting it simply, lightning doesn't need to make an appointment with a tree.
PS: My snake-oil warning light is faintly glowing (but not brightly). Visions of teflon or similar oil additives clogging up the electric filter - assuming it worked at all.
RE: Electrostatic Oil Cleaning
I was thinking about wrapping a +ve electrode around a plastic (capped off) pipe. The interior of the pipe could be grounded.
However, wouldn't this just hold -ve charge against the inside surface of the pipe? Rather than a distributed charge throughout the pipe?
