Exploding Water Vids

This one is just 80ml (about 2.5 oz).

This one is with 750ml (about 24 oz). You MUST see the explosion at 27 seconds in slow motion. This is where mother nature says....hey, wait a minute....water is supposed to be steam at atmospheric pressure, and then violently and explosively changes the liquid water into steam at over 1600 times the volume!
YouTube - Microwave steam bomb

Okay, still not convinced? Did you know that the worlds fastest dragster was actually water powered?
YouTube - WORLD RECORD Water Rocket Car 0 - 343.5 kph in 2.5 sec

Here is how it works: "Moreover, the basic rocket is the essence of simplicity. The hot water rocket makes use of the fact that water, if kept under pressure, can be heated far beyond its normal boiling temperature of 212 °F. For example in a container under 500 pounds per square inch pressure, water can be heated to some 475°F. If a hole is made in the container, the water will be forced out, a portion of it flashing into steam in escaping to the atmosphere. Inside the container, the water will also boil, and the steam so created will replace the water forced out and will tend to maintain the pressure. The escaping mixture of steam and water, if expanded through a suitable nozzle, will reach a velocity of about 1,500 feet per second. The reaction of this jet will drive a well built rocket to supersonic speed."

Now.....how to make a useful device??? Here's one thought, how about induction heating coils around diesel fuel injection lines? Think about it, the diesel injection system already works with pressures of 1500 psi on older systems, to 30,000 psi on newer systems. So, there is no need to worry about creating pressure, so all we have to do is heat the water just before injection, correct???

Please share your thoughts and vids.

I read somewhere that a diesel engine is perfect for the type of conversion you are referring too! Just can't find where I saved it but if I find it, I'll post it!

Ahhh! Found it!

Have read, sounds like what you are talking about!
