I wonder what the power output is, water mass flow, and how well the arcing can be controlled.
Interesting design.
If anyone has any more relevant info on water only similar engines please post.
Well the video has a copyright of 2005
Where's the motor? Where's the builder? All I see is a cartoon and a concept.
Looks like a bunch of hooey to me.
Hi Stefan,
I cannot see how arcing a high voltage potential through a stream of water vapour can create the amount of hydrogen required to keep this all running.
I think you first need to prove that a high voltage spark can create more hydrogen than the power required to power the spark in the first place.
It looks so much like the Stanley Meyer hydro-injector (or what-ever it was called) before he was murdered.

Its not just hydrogen driving it. As the compression approaches 1:1 the water injected expands till steam is achieved. It seems to be a combination of things giving this device its energy, but as ResinRat pointed out... It was copyrighted 2005 and I've never read anything about it till this topic appeared. The principles involved make sence, but I still don't think its totally feasible since stroke one compresses air to obtain propper temperature in the cylinder, and then step two is adding water to this already 16:1 compressed chamber. It would take more energy to force the water in then you'd get back out.
Neat idea though,

water in engine
Years ago ...
i seen some pictures from motors inside if it comes so much water (pure) in zylinder (add to gaz / Gasoline)
that the compression become (because volume of add water) to /abd over 1:16 .
the work of this water contains was so strong that motor will damage in second offcause the strong
explosion forces that was produced.
So it can be right that the power is in water.
WW2 german stukka , add water to become 50& mor motor power (to use only short times.
ELF 1960 add water to etahanol racibg moter , that encreased motor power also 50 % more
