Water Sparkplug

engine

A while ago someone (i think Aaron) made a youtube movie where he used a weed eater engine and moved the piston with a plasma spark.

Does anyone have a link to it? I can not seem to reference it on youtube. I recall youtube was giving Aaron a hard time, and he moved his stuff.

Thanx!!

HI,

For some reason I think it was a member 'djzissis' from Overunity.com. I've been looking for it ... no luck yet.

A case of 48 ... maybe you can sell groups of 4 on eBay and recover most of your cost.

Keep us updated of your progress.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Shane,

those marine plugs seem to be good from what other have reported. Never tried them myself though.

Also, your new video looks good

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Greg for sharing these new results with all of us.

Very impressive to see next to no deterioration on Robin David's Firestorm replicas.

Thanks

Luc

Wish I could get some... untill then Im trying to get these:

nickel plug looks great Greg success IMO!

plug wear

Here are some pictures of my plugs.

All of my plugs wore very well. I was especially surprised to see the low wear on the beryllium-copper plugs. Nice job of replicating to Robin David.

capacitor

Greg and all, I need to tell you where I'm at with my Plasma plugs and Kiker wires. My 1988 Dodge Raider 4 cys 2.6 lit engine had a bad carb so I replaced it with a Weber conversion. There is no electronic control on this carb and you can change the primary and secondary jets from the outside. I got the mpg from 15, (running full rich), to 20 mpg. The ball plugs only give me about 1 mpg better. I put in smaller jets and got the mpg up to 23 mpg. I put in the kiker wires and still got 23 mpg???
Right now it looks like the only way to take advantage of the ball plugs and Kiker wires is to lean the engine more. Remember I was running plasma for 25 miles and burnt up one of the four of my ball plugs and got no better gas mileage???? The other three was showing destress also. Of course I was driving my plugs way to hard but it made no difference on my mileage. Greg How are you getting what your getting? What are you doing that I might try also? Please advise. Bob

Hi,

My VexUs system only used a 2uF dump cap so it didn't fry the plugs. Truthfully, I think my mileage resulted from a combination of things: plasma, fuel leaning, water ingestion.

milage

Hi all,

Well I turned OFF my Vexus System, kept the water drip steam ingestion, stayed with my 1/2-step-down main fuel jet size, ran on my .080 gap Robin David nickel Firestorm plug replicas.

Engine gets warm so I need more steam. As you know from my videos, the Firestorm plugs generate their own plasma-looking spark under pressure.

40.5 MPG

As promised here is a short video with crappy audio.

YouTube - Vexus Plasma Spark.

If you are wondering.... Lysol. I think part of the problem is I did not have the plug grounded very well. All my vice grips are in my spray foam truck.... I may do another video when my new plugs arrive.

Hi Bob,

I would try to bring the timing closer to TDC or at TDC if it performs well there. The main reason timing is advanced on cars is the fuel energy is delayed from the spark. However the plasma spark maybe faster at converting the fuel energy so one should definitely be testing different timing positions and bring it all the way to TDC if it gives best economy. Leaving it stock you may not see any benefits while using the plasma spark or even losses as it will somewhat stall the piston movement if the fuel energy is before TDC.

You may also need to lock the timing advance mechanism.

Let us know of your result once you change things.

Rich A/F mixture burs fast so old cars mechanical advance was set around 15deg.
Lean mixtures burn slow thus computerized ignition system produce spark up to 60deg BTDC.
Maximum cylinder pressure is obtained at TDC by heating the Nitrogen and Steam, a byproduct of combustion.
It is hard to control the burning process therefore, to take the advantage of heat produced by the plasma-steam at least two ignition points are required, One for the normal A/F ratio and Second at TDC (additional heat).
To take advantage of Pulse Detonation (interaction of water and plasma) ignition is required ATDC so that the Crank-Shaft- Rod geometry is not opposing supersonic pulse load.

No Jetijs, I was going to try that next. I also remember Greg saying he set the timing close to top dead center, I believe. I Wonder with the much hotter spark If the timing being set normal for gas if maybe we aren't getting some more firing and burning before TDC??? thereby loosing some power. I could easly change the timing to see if this may be happening. Does this make any since?? Bob
