Note:  bigger spark gaps will work great in a bench test however HV low amps doesnt seem to like heat, so once in an engine you may find the breakdown of spark is immense and a smaller gap is required.  If you want some good info on hydrocarbons for supplementing fuel, google search bingofuel.

I  agree that  it might  work much  different in an engine than it does on a bench ............some  expermenting  will be required  ......

I still think that   the   high  voltage should be used for  timing  control and  plasma  channel  formation .
It seems to me that if  the   arc is to unstable   one way to   fix it would  be to raise  the  low  voltage
A 220 V inverter should not  be to hard to find .......

The hv is still the trigger, the only thing I'm changing is the coil to a power supply so I can control how much voltage gets to the plugs.

The diodes I'm using are 1n4007's in series to block with hv part from going back into the inverter and one 1n4007 to block the 110 from shorting out the coil.

Sorry .........I am starting to  sound  like a broken record .

In my opinion  the  high voltage  from the  ignition  should  be used  for  forming  a plasma  channel and for  timing ......

In  my opinion   if you  decrease  the  high  voltage  you will very  quickly  get an unstable  arc .   

In  my  opinion  the   current  from the  inverter  is  what needs to be controled .
In my  opinion   the  high  voltage   determines  how  wide  the plug gap  can be .
In my opinion   the  current  from the inverter   determines   how  wide the plasma   channel is .
In my opinion   more  current   means more plasma .........more plasma means more  heat . ...... more heat  means  more horse power .
I   am  assuming  that  the  prosess  we are  dealing with is  using  plasma  to flash water into steam .   



In my opinion  I could be wrong about  any of this ............but I  am pretty sure I am right .

Isn't it cheaper and easier to  control  relatively  low voltage  current than it is  to control  high voltage current?

It seems to me that  lower is  better .   .......  It might  be worth  testing to see if 12 V  is enough voltage to  cross the  plasma channel .
