Water Sparkplug

[Shane Jackson]

Hi Guys,

I am designing a Vexus PCB and have taken many of the different ideas and combined them. Here is my current layout. Any recommendations or advice is greatly welcomed.



It may be a little hard to tell what all is on the board so I will try and describe it:
First there is 80K volt protection. Each diode has a 500k ohm resistor to prevent cascading failure should a diode go bad.

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.

Not shown in this revision is the ability to use different CDI caps (C1). My latest revision has holes for a 10, 22, 33, or 47uF cap.

I was also thinking of having the option of either a voltage doubler or quadrupler.

Once concern that I have is the voltage drop across all the diodes.

So what do you think?

DOH, thats was high chromium nickel for the new plugs. Not my day today .

Plug report in

After 1051 Kilometers traveled using the plugs with the hydroxy (we really pushed them too) We can happily report:

6% increase in fuel efficiency, Robin take a bow mate , what an unbelievable job for a home made plug. I say with the plasma circuit it would of been more then that

There is no prize for second best, Greg is the man and i bet he is going to get good results with the new plugs. Now we have the wear report and photos, we still have a brand new one to show the open source engineers work and promote Rob's plugs, plus have a great new script for the re loaded plasma production to support all.

Here is the plugs after punishment, 6% still kicked ass.

Thanks Robin and Luc for the opportunity to help guys.

Hi everyone,

Can someone pls direct me to the El Camino water car info?

Thanks,

Hi Greg,

Xack ,I set the gap at .080in because that is what s1r9a9m9 set his plugs at on his Elcamino water car. I wanted to see if it would make any difference in plug wear or spark output.

Firestorm Gap?

Robin, Luc or anyone:
Has the gap on the firestorms been optimized for the plasma? If so, What is the measurement on these? I think the larger the gap the hotter the spark which may increase wear. I was looking at the gap on the new Nickel plug photo and was wondering if it was arbatrary or if it was from specs by Krupa's patent.

Thanks,
Xack

Thanks Robin, Luc and GREG Speaking of which, tomorrow we take the plugs out and have a look, we have done A LOT of K's with the hydroxy in them, so this should be a good test result.

Hi everyone,

below is a picture of a New Firestorm replica made by Robin David to which a set of 4 will be sent once again to Greg for comparative testing.

These new Firestorm's are made of Nickle. The reasons to try Nickle is that it has been reported to have a catalyst effect with water.

Hopefully soon Greg will have a set of 4 of these to compare them to the Beryllium Copper Alloy Firestorm's he is now using and testing.

We are hopeful the Nickle could further improve the performance and or economy of Greg's VW Bug.

I had to send a followup email a few days after registering but the followup was taken care of immediately. This might be what they need to do...

plasma plugs

Robert, those are some beautiful spark plugs Thank you for the pictures. I would be interested in getting some of those (for a reasonable proce of course) for my water spark experiments with genset.
Thanks,
Jetijs.

I plan to make a sequence of pictures and explain how to make the ball plasma plugs instead of making them for people so as not to infringe on the Krupa patent. Krupa told me in a email that they would be coming out the first quarter of this year. I hope he is right.
My plasma plugs are not perfect as they should be and a manufactured one will be. Hope this helps everybody. Bob

approvals

Hi Greg,

It should only take 2-3 days at the most. Anyone can email [email protected] if they aren't approved in a few days.

PM me the username or email they used to sign up and I'll approve them.

account activation

Hi all,

I guess Aaron could best speak to this unrelated issue. I have met a couple of guys on other forums like HHO Forums that have waited as much as a month for activation of their Energetic accounts. One guy named Shane Jackson asked me if the screening has been taking this long in general. He has a 'VexUs' thread on HHO Forums and would like to participate over here also.

I'm sure these guys would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Greg
