@All

Thanks vlindos for your help...

My coil is 20:50 

Any ideas anyone??

Try a coil with 12:38...thats what i use

Is you coil toroidal or linear core? I found that linear worked much better for me. 

Also your misfire might be due to arcing inside of the secondaries...turn off all your lights so its good and dark and fire the primary, look for arcing INSIDE the coil.

Here is a video I did of a marble in a close fitting plastic tube with plasma arc and water. For an ignition system (high voltage) I am using a 1980 vintage GM HEI ignition coil powered by a strobe light discharge. The low voltage side is a 120 volt mains voltage doubler circuit. As you will see the energy to drive the marble out of the cylinder is not very predictable.

Seems like there might be an air fuel ratio for the water, too much it doesnt do anything, but when the right amount is there, boom.

Yes, good observation. I'm thinking actual engine compression may also have a quenching effect on the plasma. Quenching at a precise point in time may help release more of what we are looking for (big boom)  .

On the compression idea, if the spark is fired after TDC, the pressure in the will be lower than at TDC as the volume inside the sylinder is expanding...but....( and this is where my mechanical engineering knowledge is stretched ) even though the volume inside the cylinder is increasing, as the valves are shut, the cyclinder is a closed system.........um....its not a vacuum, but I'm not sure what the effect of "stretching" a volume of water vapour would be in these conditions as to whether it would do enough mechanical work on the water enough to start breaking the H20 bonds.....
