Robert Kurpa's Firestorm Plugs
Until these are available to the public, the next best plug is probably the Pulstar Plugs.
Here is a video I just found on youtube and saw it for the first time! http://www.esmhome.org/library/rober.../firestorm.wmv 8.69mb WMV format.

Robert Krupa Firestorm Patent
![]() ![]() Read this article: NEXUS: Firestorm Sparkplug Patent number: 5936332 Filing date: Jul 21, 1997 Issue date: Aug 10, 1999 Inventors: Robert Krupa, Chester C. Lulavage Assignee: Century Development International Ltd & Patent number: 6060822 Filing date: Aug 18, 1998 Issue date: May 9, 2000 Inventors: Robert Krupa, Chester C. Lulavage Assignee: Century Development International Ltd. Abstract A very unique universal bi-directional firing spark plug for any spark ignited internal combustion engine, whether racing, industrial, truck, aeronautical, automotive, recreational or residential (for trimmers, edgers, brush cutters, leaf blowers, leaf vacuums, chain saws, augers, tillers, lawnmowers, riding mowers, tractors, generators, etc.). This spark plug eliminates misfire and improves gas mileage, peaks engine performance, horsepower, and increases the RPM range, while utilizing and enhancing current ignition systems. In addition, this spark plug serves as a low emission device that reduces the effects of global warming, acid rain, and smog via greatly reduced emissions through vastly improved fuel combustion within all internal combustion engines by operating at a 24:1 air-to-fuel ratio. This unique spark plug is comprised of an elongated or non-elongated body with an electrical connector at one end. An absolute aerodynamic semispherical dome or sphere electrode is secured... |

Spark plug conversion to plasma fired water injector
Hi folks,
This Firestorm Plug thread started me thinking about a tech note that was posted May 12th in the files section at WaterFuel1978 : Water Fuel The tech note describes and shows a homemade conversion of a spark plug to a dual anode coaxial plasma fired water injector plug. The prototype looks like it could definitely work, and might be worth considering for experimentation and enhancement. The author is freely sharing the concept, and there is no patent pending. DUAL ANODE COAXIAL INJECTOR.pdf Anyone interested? Best regards, Rickoff ![]() |

Excellent link

I still think what we are seeing here: YouTube - HHO experiement with horizontal stainless mesh cell Is perhaps where the answer lies. I feel the output of this cell, meaning volume, being "injected" into the combustion chamber, then ignited with a Firestorm plug, perhaps delivered by a Nology lead, will see a suitably robust combustion being achieved, with the HHO content as the bonus to keeping it all happening. Robert Krupa alluded to a phenomena becoming apparent when the stoic level was doubled to 30 to 1, I feel this is where the "secret" lies, and will be realised most, once the metering is correctly set to where that mixture can be held onto. I reason that the low output of a HHO gen, as we are used to seeing, can be "stretched" out to realise this 30 to 1 ratio with careful metering. There needs to be a suitable injector made, and I think there are a few people playing around with that right now. I have recently completed a series of tests with standard "J" gap spark plugs, indexed to the best firing positions, and topped off with a comparison to the Brisk HOR15LGS multi firing point plug, the results are interesting as it clearly shows a temperature reduction along the lines of what Robert Krupa alluded to with his Firestorm, although not as extreme as what he achieved, it's still a lot closer to what he managed than what you can get with a standard "J" gapped plug. This link will get you to where you can see the temperature changes apparent in the indexed standard "J" gapped plugs, as opposed to the Brisk concept plugs. Spark plug indexing versus concept plug tests will begin this weekend. | OldHolden.com Follow the relevant links from there. I believe the current HHO boosters are sufficient for the task, it's just getting the "mixture" right. |

That is an interesting concept. However I don't know of an epoxy that would not melt from the operating temp. of the engine & let the plug either short out or blow the whole center of the plug out when it softened up. Also the compression would blow the water backwards(yes I see the valve, don't believe it would stop it; probably blow it apart too.) Why not just build the anodes solid(no water injector tube in the middle) & run the water in through the intake manifold or existing fuel system? Also looks really hard to assemble so that all parts are insulated from each other, at least in most workshops. Then there is the problem of the power supplies, oversized alternators, inverters, & basically re-wiring the ignition system I think this is way too much for the average person to tackle(or even most above average people.) Much easier to build a set of firestorm plugs using non-foulers as the plug body & couple that with HHO as the fuel. A lot safer too. |

Hmmm
I'm not convinced that the stainless mesh is producing large quantities of hho. It could be that the pump is actually pressurising the line and drawing vapor off the generator. I think the lighting of that much gas would have more of a reaction. Not that I've tried or would try to ignite the gas for a visual.

Reply to Antiquer
Hi Antiquer,
I would probably buy the Firestorm plugs to try them out if they were available, although they may be very expensive initially. I am already using a Hydrogen booster, though, so I am probably already achieving improved gas combustion similar to what the Firestorm plugs would give me if I was using gasoline only. The Hydrogen ignites instantaneously, so the Firestorm plug won't improve on Hydrogen burn, and therefore may only offer me a slight improvement overall. The dual anode plug conversion I spoke of in my earlier post is not a project that I plan to undertake, as I already have a full plate to contend with, but thought I would mention it in case anyone was interested. As I said before, the prototype could certainly be improved upon. Preparing the old plugs for the conversion would be the easiest part, and no cost involved. A lot of us probably have an old set of spark plugs laying around - I know that I do. I wouldn't use common epoxy if I were doing the conversion. Instead, I would use a ceramic adhesive such as Resbond 919, which will withstand temperatures to 2800F degrees while maintaining exceptionally high electrical resistance. I also feel that compression stroke back pressure could be controlled without much difficulty by using a quality backflow checking device. If you scroll to the end of the pdf document that I linked to, you will see that the author also shows a solid center anode design for those not desiring water injection through the plug. I do think that this direct water injection method would be the most efficient way to use water as an only fuel source, and it is certainly an improvement over Sir9's method for utilizing water only fuel in his 350 cubic inch Chevy V8. Incidentally, there is an excellent document fully explaining Sir9's method of achieving 300 mpg on water only which can be found at: sdch2o.free.fr/vrac/Sir9-Plasma-Steam-Engine.doc Yes, an inverter would be required for the modification, but then a lot of people are using an inverter to power a Boyce cell and still requiring some amount of gasoline. And I don't think you are going to be able to utilize the Firestorm plugs to full advantage without making some modifications and adjustments. I agree with Jetijs that a plasma plug could operate a vehicle with a Joe Cell on air alone, and Joe has said that the cell wouldn't even be needed if the right circuitry was employed. For an idea on achieving this, read Thomas C Kramer's document titled, "The Tesla-Gray Plasma Engine." www.thejoecell.com/files/The_Tesla_Plasma_Engine.doc Best regards, Rickoff ![]() Last edited by rickoff : 06-08-2008 at 07:46 AM. |

Ricoff
I agree with what you are saying in principal. Could not open your links but this firestorm concept does look like a possible solution to current issue surrounding the energy problem facing the free world... Like the late 70's our country lack of direction with energy has left our lifeblood in the hands of our enemy's... Consequently we turn to the Edisons, Teslas of our time to develope or improve solutions to the problems facing the free world. This spark technology combined with better coils and gas systems is part of the answer. Atomic, Wind, Solar, Hydro, and other alternative energy systems offer a way to escape the traditional bonds of Oil dependence that beckons to the ancient testimony of the foolish virgins. Let us keep the lights burning by the discovery's that are available to us. W |

machining wizards
Could any of the mechanical engineering wizards comment if they think they can duplicate this plug and what it would take? Is it as easy as it looks? The machining isn't my area but it looks a lot simpler than doing some of these motors and cells. Any comments?
