URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

Hey, Xbox hacker:

I am not an EE, but I am an ASE certified auto technician. I notice that in your most recent schematics you are "triggering" the HV ignition coil on the positive feed to the ignition coil's primary winding. This may work on a bench setup, but in a car you will find that the positive feed to the HV ignition coil's primary winding is not triggered, only switched on/off by the ignition switch. The HV ignition coil is triggered by making/breaking the negative side of the coil's primary winding to ground in an automotive application. Older cars used a set of "points" to do this, and newer cars use solid-state electronics to control a heavy transistor to make/break the primary winding's ground.

The only exception to this that I am aware of is some old British cars and a few older tractors.

So, where your schematics show that you are grounding the primary winding at the spark plug, in a car you will be grounding it either througn a set of points or through an ignition module.

Hi Ossie, I came across this postulation from SirHoax: SHOCKWAVE, i.e. Kinetic energy not Heat energyfrom his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9NvboKL43Q

Great Video.

The first thing that came to my mind with this process, is pulsed jets, as in pulsed jet engines. What a hoot, pulsed plasma / water powered jet engines.

Has anyone thought of using a modern automotive coil. New coils pack a punch that can kill a person. The one Luc and others are shown using only produce about 40,000 volts and there are some new ones that produce 60,000 + volts. I also think the newer ones provide more amperage as well.

I will test a few tomorrow to see if there is any difference in the spark with having the resistor removed from the plug.

Hoptoad. Me too, even drew one on Friday, adapting a big turbo with a coil system mounted to the shaft between the turbines. Lol.

Anyway. Here is a couple of things to consider on the big day.
Is the explosion softer (slower acceleration front than petroleum / air) or harder (faster than petroleum air)? I guess we will find out when ignition timing is optimised. 
Also (and this might be very important) Static CR. I don't think we have to worry about pre-ignition. So, assuming the power output is < equal to a petroleum air explosion event. We could increase the CR to compensate. This might mean that we should already be focussing on increasing the spark yield to work in a Higher compression environment.
