For more than seventy years, mankind has known an ultra-efficient way of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, through the Yutkin electrohydraulic effect (EGE). But, as always, the effect is not applied in everyday life, there is nothing about it and its author in Wikipedia, and official science does not like to recall either the effect itself, much less about its author Lev Yutkin with more than a hundred inventions … The fault is, as always, of super-efficiency and an efficiency of several thousand percent, which, as we know from official science and physics textbooks, cannot be!
Outstanding Soviet physicist and inventor Lev Aleksandrovich Yutkin was born on August 5, 1911 in the city of Belozersk, Vologda Region. He entered the university only in 1930, after two years of forced labor at a factory as a turner "because of class insecurity." In his fourth year at the university, in 1933, Lev Yutkin received the first serious results on the electrohydraulic effect. Soon after its discovery, in the same 33rd year, it was planted under Article 58 (treason). Accusation of trying to blow up the bridge with his EGE! The opinion was formed that Yutkin invented his EGE only in 1950, since it was in this year that the effect was patented, but this is not so! The vast majority of studies on the electrohydraulic effect were carried out and completed by him back in the 30s and, according to him,he formed a complete theory of the electrohydrodynamic effect back in 1938.
The very same electrohydraulic effect of Yutkin, or in short EGE, is a powerful water hammer with a local pressure above one hundred thousand atmospheres, which occurs when a high-voltage spark discharge passes through a water gap. That is why the “people” call this effect simply water hammer, although in fairness it should be noted that the scientific meaning of water hammer is far from this phenomenon and has nothing to do with Yutkin's EGE.
To obtain EGE, alternating current from the network is fed to a step-up transformer, where the voltage increases to several kilovolts. Further, the electric current is rectified by diodes and fed to a capacitor, where the voltage is accumulated to the desired value. After that, a high-voltage breakdown occurs between the electrodes placed in the water, which gives rise to the occurrence of an electrohydraulic shock, which manifests itself in the form of a loud pop with a local pressure increase of several tens of thousands of atmospheres.
One of the most serious practical values and advantages of this effect is its 100% repeatability and ease of implementation even at home, without the use of expensive laboratory equipment and materials.
The author himself has repeatedly modernized and improved his designs, for example, the same schematic diagram was ultimately implemented using two arresters, which, according to its creator, greatly increased the steepness of the pulse edges and made the circuit much more efficient and easier to configure.

In addition to the appearance of a local pressure of several tens of thousands of atmospheres, which the author has successfully used, for example, for crushing stone boulders into small pieces or for pressing metals, this effect is also accompanied by several other useful and surprising properties. If we try to highlight all the amazing properties of the EGE, we get something like the following:
- Local pressure increase up to several tens of thousands of atmospheres. Due to the incompressibility of water and, as a result, the spread of this pressure throughout the entire water volume, this property can be used for crushing and crushing rock, metal pressing and stamping, as well as for converting into other types of mechanical energy, for example, into torque by using a crank - connecting rod mechanisms of a special design.
- Local temperature rise. According to the author and independent researchers of this effect, in the presence of EGE, the temperature of the liquid increases incommensurably faster than the electricity consumed for the EGE, which makes it possible to build highly efficient heating devices on this effect. This property of heating manifests itself in conjunction with the above property of local pressure increase, which makes it expedient to use both of these properties simultaneously.
- Separation of Brown's gas from water. Since this property was discovered not by the author himself, but by his later followers, this property is not so well studied, especially in its quantitative part, but its very presence, as mentioned earlier, does not cancel the previously described properties and makes it possible to use all three the main properties of the Yutkin electrohydraulic effect simultaneously!
