Microwave catlyzed oxidation of water

[Creativity]

Ok sounds interesting.Was is distilated water or just tap water?how did u conclude that there was no water vapour afterwards?

    The cabinet was dry as a bone.  Pepsi cap 1/2 full of water went somewhere.  Perhaps it condensed on the inside of the fan assembly.  It wasn't inside the oven portion. 
     This was grossly inefficient but the results were encouraging enough to make further investigation worthwhile.  I did notice that there was a 3 second delay before the plazma formed.  I don't know if this is a characteristic of the magnetron employed or simply a product of the wave dispersion in the oven and orientation of the electrodes.  In either case I believe this effect would be better off driving a turbine than a reciprocating engine. 
    Next step is to redesign the waveguide to work on a much smaller chamber and
do some pressure and flow calculations versus input epower.  The microwave energy isn't really forfeited if it results in the heating and expansion of the non-combustible nitrogen.
   It was tap water with a relatively lowph (acid rain sucks) and pretty high iron content.  No chlorine.

Sparks,
I read a post several years ago that said to take a ICE hooked a magnatron and fire it with a spark coil using water vapor. I think we need a lense that would focus on a drop etc..

Bet it would work using a 2 cycle and siteglass window from a highpresure refridge system.

I found epsom salt in a glass bowl focused MW making a hole through the glass bowl.

A magnetic or HV charge director might work to.

There is a fillement that must heat up before u get full power. Just keep the current constant and pulse the HV from a pancake coil for a enourmous pulse of Ghz.
