Water Sparkplug

[CitizenDC]

Hi all,

I just wanted to share an unsettling experience I just had with eBay.

I have compiled two DVD discs, one is a DVD with a menu and all and a DVD data disc of my work. I placed them on eBy for $20.00 for the two-disc set, free shipping, etc. But this morning I was notified that I am in violation of copyright infringement under their policy and my listing was removed. If I do it again then my account will be closed. Holy crap ! One of the schematics shown in the listing photos shows the words "Copyright" and my full name.

Anyone know anything about eBay bullying people like this? What kind of case do I have? I can produce the camera and all of the raw footage from which the video was compiled plus the drawings, schematics, etc. What a kick in the groin.

Thanks for listening,

Greg

I Gmeast,

Sorry to hear about those tactics being used against you.
I'd recommend setting up your own website and selling the cd's from there.
I've read alot of problems folks run into when they have something that can change things.

cheers!

firestorm plug can almost do it with just vapor added

Hi all,

One of the last things I tested was running through a tank of gas using just Water Vapor and the Firestorm plugs. It was almost as good as with the plasma spark. I am certain, however, that to run on just water will require the extra energy of the plasma spark.

So I read this entire thread over 4 days. Took 2 days off of work so I had the time )
Much excitement and activity for so long and now??

There are always setbacks on the path of life.

I would like to point out some things to help everyone maintain perspective.
1. Firestorm plug show increased cleaning and burning ability at ~1 joule.
2. Jmeast got 40%+ mpg with regular sparkplug and plasma circuit. Low plug wear.
3. .... I forgot

So everything that has happened so far is just the beginning. We're only getting our feet wet here! I can think of several diverging paths to take based on all this info.

I am disheartened by the .. "human nature" that has crept into the firestorm plug and the bad economy causing gmeast and other trouble.

Still I viewed cragslist yesterday and plan to get a 15-19HP motor from a disabled lawn rider. I will start at the basics by using the sciencetific method and objectively & systematically trying different setups to get
good fuel economy.

Sincerenly,

David Piel

So sad, come on guys.

Greg:
Do you still have the firestorm replicas for sale?
I'm interested in purchasing if they are still available.
Jim

Yes they are still available and I'll sell the lot for $175.00.

what inverters have been tried?

Hi,

This is directed mostly to Shane.

Hi Shane or anyone else listening, which inverters have been tried with your version of the Vexus circuit? I know I never could get any store-bought inverter to survive ... that's why I fell in love with the Transistor circuit that someone posted and I tuned up for the job ... I still think it's bulletproof.

And on another point, before I liquidated everything I hooked up a diode string of generics and ran the Vexus circuit and noticed only a slight percentage drop in the voltage tension on the plug (hah!, "tension", old school). Of course my Xsistor oscillator/inverter was running at 425VDC (rectified) on a 2uF oil filled cap ... and that certainly helps with efficiency ... ask Tesla.

Good luck all,

Greg

Resistor size

There is a 1 ohm 100w Caddock resister to protect the inverter. Also R1 is a Caddock resister. This will require either a large heat sink or use of a metal case with the resistors mounted to it.

Hi Shane,
are the resistors in parallel with the diodes 500Kohms or 500ohms only. I assume they're 1/2W rated? pls confirm. thanks.

Kinetix,

rosco1, thanks for your information about "HAJI". I will do a "net research" later.
I have been played a little with plasma type sparks, and even tryied on my car.
Unfortunately, I used strings of diodes that didn't do a good job. Now I am looking for NTE517 diodes, but they are expensive and hard to obtain in my area.
Anyway, the photo I posted is taken from a certain forum (I don't remember exactly which one). Maybe the user "Capacitor70", maybe another user posted it. I think gotoluc should know better. As far as I know, it is a device that consist of a normal sparkplug, a ball and spring valve and a small combustion chamber inside the threaded part. At the bottom it has 4 holes, like some fuel injectors have.
I am not shure if it was used HHO, Hidrogen only, or water mist. If it is the last one, it could probably be used together with a plasma spark system to obtain the plasma jet effect in the engine's cylinder.
If it could work that way, then there is no need for a hidrogen booster, or an electrolyser of any type. The water mist (or, maybe, hot steam) in the tiny combustion chamber exploded with a plasma spark will do the job.
Waiting and looking for some more information about the eficiency of the device.
Thanks.

I think what you're trying to build, is the very basis of what was made by Aquapulser, in their RPG4700 unit. I may be wrong, but I think their unit is a direct spin off from that concept.

Aquapulser have beefed up the whole thing to make it more efficient too, and it'll take a 50 amp spike, which means it's more suited to car use, in that the alternator is now eliminated as a problem when excited.

Do look at HAJI, indepth, it's a very good approach. I might even adopt it myself, that's how much I like it.

Your Plasma circuit

I cannot believe it's been almost a month.... I am thinking of using a Molex plug for the connections out the case (to sparkplugs, block, and AC). Will make a real nice clean look and install.

Hi guys, I'm new in this forum and have read from cover to cover, whew! too many infos to digest and understand.

@shane - would you be kind enough to post your schematics and parts list? i am planning to initially try to replicate Greg's circuit but given the limited supply of electronic components in my area, particularly the HV diodes & caps, I might end up replicating your "diode" string & resistor combo. how many ohms are your resistors? (sorry if this has been mentioned earlier, but i probably didn't pick it up). how's the performance/efficiency so far?

if posting doesn't work perhaps you could PM or email it instead.
thanks a heaps!

[rosco1]

I should add...

Anyone playing with HHO, would be well advised to look at using "HAJI" as the best method of application, as mentioned in the above post.

It would have to be the most effective way of applying hydrogen to exploit lean mixtures that I've seen to date.

Plasma

Hello, guys.
Has anybody experimented with plasma spark in plasma injectors?
I have collected a few photos of a custom made plasma injector, but I have no idea of it's efficiency.
Has anybody tryied it in a car engine, or do you know somebody who did?
I think it's a brilliant idea that could be developed.
Thank you.

The image doesn't give too much away, so it's hard to know exactly what that apparatus is designed to do.

To my eye, it somewhat resembles "Hydrogen Assisted Jet Injection", aka, "HAJI".

Rather than being a plasma injector, it could be a method of applying hydrogen to the plug base in a pre-chamber type arrangement.

Research "Hydrogen Assisted Jet Injection"(HAJI), as developed by Professor Harry C Watson and the team at Melbourne University.

If that's what it is, and you wish to apply it, then you'll want to hook up a simple hydrogen booster to it, with appropriate care of course, then inject a small amount of hydrogen under slight pressure into the pre-chamber, where it will react violently with the spark and cause a jet type of discharge to blast out into the main combustion chamber, a bit like a rocket thruster, igniting very very lean mixtures contained therein, which is not normally possible by any other means.

"HAJI" is a most interesting concept, and well worthy of study and application.

Plasma plugs don't really look any different from normal spark plugs, so to suggest that it's a plasma plug might not be quite correct.

Do you have any more info on it?

I'm running plasma on my engine, courtesy of an RPG4700 radiant plasma gen, and the gain is more than what you can ordinarily expect from a Crane Cams HI6 and Fireball PS91 coil, which is serious package on it's own.

I'm currently running resistorless Brisk Premium LGS plugs, which have taken over duty from my custom made Firestorm plugs. The Firestorms will be getting another run again shortly, as they appear to have been more efficient with the leaner mixtures.

Don't bet the farm on that last observation, simply as I've been preoccupied with another all consuming project that has taken away all my free time, time that I would normally have applied to furthering my tests, hence, that observation hasn't been put to the test yet.

Hope this helps.
