Water Sparkplug

[gotoluc]

Hi everyone,

I still stand on my analysis of the engine test cycle I am running.

It's getting into the high 40's in my shop right now (AM). Since I installed the Firestorm replicas, I noticed that the Bug starts and runs solid when cold, no choke and WITHOUT the Water Spark Plug plasma circuit running. Amazing! I energized the Water Spark Plug circuit AND IT RAN EVEN BETTER ... #%$@&*!

Gotta keep working on the new water feed for the steam. I'm using a small variable speed peristaltic pump this time. Now I can increase the flow as a function of engine speed ... not automatically but at least it's something.

Peace,

Greg

Thanks Greg for this update on the Firestorm replicas

Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share with all

Mr. Greg

When did anyone say you were wrong?

You da man dude.

You all are, especially ALL working together. So is Robin, plugs are here and finally the god dam car is fixed .

I gotta say Robin is not just a talented machinist , he is also an artist Take a look at these, i almost feel guilty running them they are so perfect

We are going to take these plugs on TV and plug them so to speak with the open source engineering credits, we are so grateful Robin sent these thanks to LUC , and we are really grateful that they both have enabled the access to these, it looks better us showing Kupra's plugs and showing the relevance to open source engineering then just mentioning them alone.

Will start some test as soon as the car is back this after noon.
thanks Robin and Luc.

Hi Ash,

Did you get my post about how these plugs run a cold, un-choked engine all by themselves almost as good as a regular plug fired with a plasma circuit? This was my first test, initial test result and conclusion.

Peace,

new setup

Hi everyone,

Here is a picture of the new setup. Warm air and steam into the carburetor. Carburetor bowl cooled with bleed air from fan shoud (right side). Air filter inside cab behind driver on the floor. I kept the crankcase recirculation in also, so I think I'm still legal.


Peace,

Greg

warm air and steam to inlet & bowl cooled by cooling fan bleed air / restrictor

Looking Good Greg

Thanks for sharing your great ideas

Firestorm plugs

LUC,
Or anyone else who can help me. I would like to get information on the contact in order to get 12 (or how ever many I can) Firestorm replica plugs.

Thanks guys,
Xack

Your old timer is starting to look more like a rocket .

Hi broli,

Yeah ... it's the re-birth.

Actually I'm trying to keep the steam entrained in the inlet flow to fight condensation. Unfortunately I also have to cool the bowl so the gas doesn't boil (other duct). I'll likely make that a 1 inch duct from a tee and plumb in the right side heater box. That stuff hasn't been used in years.

Hi Greg, Yup got the post about the plugs am updating now

Ash,

Yes! There are wonderful things to be realized by ingesting steam boiled off of the exhaust manifold. It creates an entirely new engine cycle! Thanks for posting the video link.

Peace,

Greg, am finding a lot of new steam ones on you tube and adding them in the steam doc in the fuel saving vehicle modifications doc as part of the uni site.

http://www.panaceauniversity.org/Water%20mist%20injection%20and%20fuel%20vaporization%20research.pdf

(put in steam injection in you tube)

Found the comments interesting in that video, they are of the opinion that the steam injection could cool the Cat converter and therefore it might stop working, i don't think there would be much hydrocarbons left over personally from this injection.One of the best ones i have seen is a hybrid, of steam, Hydroxy and and a vapor system in the doc above, just needs Robin's plugs and your circuit

Ash,

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I don't think these guys know that they are actually pushing the engine into a very different thermodynamic cycle. Taken to an extreme, you can eliminate a great deal of waste heat being rejected as cooling for the engine. I believe this contributed greatly to the (almost) 40 % increase in economy with the Bug ... that and being able to ignite it efficiently with the plasma spark.

Peace,

Greg

steam-water delivery

Hi all,

...just an update. Made and installed water delivery manifold (bent tube with some 1/16th holes). Made a couple of freeway runs. Enlarged the carb bleed air cooling hole to 1/2" dia. ... carb got a little warm - dodn't want to boil the gas in the float bowl and torch everything. Using the I.V. water drip right now 'cause I'm waiting for some more peristaltic tubes for the pump ... they wear out awfully fast ... inferior tube material I think. Getting close to resuming tests. As soon as peristaltic pump is in, then baseline pictures of #2 plug (easiest to get to), mileage, fuel and away we go.

I may still wrap some of that copper scrub stuff around everything though ... don' know.

Peace,

Greg
