    old timer

    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.

    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

    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.

    Sincerely
    Ash
    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,

    Greg

    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

    Hi everyone,

    Xack PM'd me and told me I acted like a jerk. Ok ... I acted like a jerk. He also wanted me to apologize in this forum. Ok ... I apologize for being a jerk.

    That comment was not meant to be the way you took it, I'm pretty sure.
    I was hoping to generate discussion around that and perhaps put it on the radar since long term performance and engine issues ARE relavent.

    So you called me out on the testing. I'm doing the best I can right now. Admittedly, I'm not as far along as you but I'm getting my test vehicle this week. Also, I would like to get some specifications on making or getting some plugs.

    all righty
