URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

I was thinking what would be the simplest engine to try this in?, could a model steam engine be used or adapted?

Personally I'd be thinking along the lines of either lawnmower/chainsaw engines or even model aircraft engines. The problem with using a steam engine is that although they are powered by pressure, they don't work with a spark plug so you'd have to mod it to fit one.

There is an engine that seems most suited for experimental purposes.  It is the 4 banger in the mid 80's Nissan Hardbody line of pickups.  It has a carb and dual ignition like an aircraft engine with two spark plugs per cylinder.  One plug fires and soon after the other plug fires. "energize and then fire".  It has two ignition coils to do the task.  It has a distributor with two coil inputs and 8 out.  Does not have the complicated computer controls that fuel injection engines have.

All kinds of flexibility are possible with this engine:
Easy to advance or retard timing, mess with the carb, mess with the two spark plugs, or make a special water injector and use one on the spark plug holes.

I think the Nissan Maxima around this time had a passenger car version.  It had a timing belt, the pickup used a chain.  Get the truck, more room around the engine.

Model Aircraft engines use a glowplug, http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/model-airplane-engines.html so not sure how suitable they would be, maybe something like a small weedwacker/strimmer engine would do.

Referring to Page 1 and your circuit diagram. (thanks) and S1R's comments. Where should the 2nd booster coil be placed and have you tried it?

Forget the model aircraft engine, they are not suited at all.
