Yeah, I mis-typed my post up there to make it seem like I wanted to replace the PLUGS with something else, wow sorry about that.  Yes, you are correct about everything you said, the fog actually explodes out of the water with a tremendous force as seen in the Graneau experiments.  I'll dig up that pdf for you, it was a good indication of what was happening in the cylinder.  Basically what I propose is to get rid of the coil and just use a high voltage power supply instead of a coil to generate the hv part of the ignition system.  The reasoning is when I gapped my plugs it would only jump some of the time, leading me to believe the coil was inconsistent in it's voltage output.  The low voltage system is still the same, 110 volts protected by some hv diodes.  I have bought a water mister to experiment with instead of feeding water directly into the intake via carburetor.

I am glad that  we agree on   the basics  of  this  idea  .....   

When  I am ready to start    I  think I am  going to start  with  the regular ignition  ........but I have been wondering  if something like  a transformer  could be made  to  step up the voltage  .........like maybe  5 or 6 to 1

I was thinking  of putting it right on the top of the plug .......that way  I don't have to worry  about  insulation as much . .....
there wouldn't  be  much  current ........but the low voltage should take care  of that  once the  channel is  open .


If nothing  else it would be fun to see how  wide of a gap I could make  it jump .

One thought i had was to use pulstar plugs or nology hotwires, both of these products have capacitors that will prolong the HV and therefore the LV = more plasma.  I am going to commence bench tests next week and will post up my results here, perhaps some cool piccys!

Another question Super God,  how many of these diodes are you running in series? have you successfully blocked HV from a coil? those diodes are only rated at 1000v, coils supposedly do 20k-50k depending on frequency of engine (rpm).  If you did want to have constent HV to the plugs, you could always use a 30kvdc flyback from a crt monitor.  Or get a jacobs ladder kit (last night i successfully ran my car using the jacobs ladder kit instead of cars ignition system)

Good  question  about the diodes  Ninjadanial   





I bet that  running  an engine using  a HV  transformer   would be  an interesting light show  if you  had a   clear   distributor  cap
