URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

[sparks]

Hi everybody,

Luc, thank you for the encouraging comments. I really appreciate them!! I wish you a creative and successive year too.!! Not only you, everyone in the forum.!!


I am back to Athens today because of the weather being too bad, and couldn't stay more....

Yesterday was the second day of testings.
When I started the engine, after 10 minutes of continued working on idle, 3 capacitors of the 50μF capacitor bank, got too hot that they were blown up..!!
As this was not too much, I got this problem.:

I don't know what to do.
Now it's a deal that i can't do anything because of the weather, but.... what's going on??

Thanks.. Zissis!!

   You may have shorted out the mag.

Hi sparks!!

mag - > you mean the magneto?!

How?? When i don't connect anything to the High voltage output, it works fine, even in very high RPM. But if i attach a single wire, it stops!!
With the diode on the High voltage side, there is no closing circuit inside the magneto. So, how could it be shorted out??

Do you think that i need a new magneto??

Thanks for the response!!
Zis!!

Hello Zissis,

I think user name: sparks maybe partially right ... your magneto coil wire inside the the magneto may have overheated and now has a small internal short so it may have less power then before but maybe just enough to jump the spark plug gap .... but when you introduce any wire (dipole) it loses a little strength and can no longer jump the gap and motor stops.

We all have stories about blowing capacitors, inverters and diodes... welcome to the club ... we don't understand all that is happening in these circuits so all we can do is experiment and learn as we go.

I would not recommend to test on a good engine unless you don't care what happen to the engine. It is best to create a simulation at different RPM like Greg and Mike have done and then on the engine if successful. 

Sorry for your possible loss of magneto coil.

Thank you for sharing your results

maybe you are right guys. But I don't think that I observed any heat on the magneto (coil). Anyway thank you. I am now awaiting of Santa to bring me a brand new 4stroke 6hp for just 130 euros. It is cheap because it is no named.
Thanks for your advice though..!!!!

I know.... Now I know why Greg uses High Voltage AC capacitors
By the way, I found one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/3153141684_8b72f6a193_b.jpg
But it's 1μF. 2100V AC. When I shake him I can hear some liquid inside, so maybe it's electrolytic. 1μF is so small I think. I am going to find some more of them and build up as much capacitance as I can.

Don't need to worry about the magneto.... It's very cheap and easy to change....
I know I should do a simulation first but I thought that it was not so important....

Anyway thanks for every advice and comment..!!
Keep posting and sharing!!
