Thermal cracking of water at engine exhaust gas temperatures

[professor]

I have thought of doing the identical thing and coil  a 1/4 "  copper tube around the exhaust Manifold leading into an expansion Chamber that then feeds the  steam  into the carb or ports.
Then I would use a CD Ignition or the other the other method that is talked about  on this forum using diode isolated DC injection parallel with your HV .
This steam should also be more efficient then a cold Water mist and who knows ..........
By the way if you burn just Hydrogen it does not have the highly explosive nature as Hydroxy as Kanzius experiment with Saltwater and RF shows. Hydrogen in his set up was burning gently as it is produced , if you did the same  to Hydroxy it  would implode violently.

Hi

No I dont think youre missing anything. I think the biggest issue is how fast hydrogen burns, which is damn fast ( as I discovered ). One test when I was messing around a few months ago, I collected about a grapefruit size ammount in a plastic bag, dropped a match on it  ...KABOOOOOMM!!!!!! Wife came running out, windows rattled, dogs barked........all at 9pm one week night............. LOL!!!!!!

But I suspect the key thing would be :

(a) getting a stable temperature with which to crack the water
(b) the shape of the nozzle and collector of the gas so the gas can be properly harnessed.

Actually, yuou have given me an idea.........

If you could get the cracking unit up to cracking temperture using propane ( or if you were ina  3rd world country, woods and abellows like a blacksmiths forge - ou only need enough heat to get steel red hot ) Then you need to have enough water going through to support both a fuel sorce for keeping the cracking aunit hot and additional fuel for running a boiler or heater burner, then in theory, heating a house is pretty much down to cents per gallon of water.

Think of how many people would be helped by this alone.........

i think there is an idea simular to this floating around somewhere concerning a pre-catalytic converter whereby the intake air charge is superheated making the fuel mixture more combustible(atomized) in the process...instant fuel supplimentation(just add water

Hi,

I found this which seems to confirm my experimental findings :

The water hit the BBQ gas burner, which was pretty much red hot.
The burner was iron ( with a lot of rust, which is even better for water cracking ) and the water would flash into steam.

You need to constantly draw the hydrogen out of the tube, which if you had the output of the tube connected to the inlet manifold of your car engine, the inlet manifold on a running engine always runs at a vacuum, so it will suck the hydrogen out. I'd suggest to make sure the hydrogen is drawn into the engine using a tube inserted close enough to the engine ( maybe just before the throttle body butterfly valve if you have an EFI engine, or mounted just above the main jet if car has a carburetor ) so the hydrogen is sucked quickly and safely into the engine as soon as its produced.

WARNING - Hydrogen is highly explosive.
