Wow, spectacular pics capacitor70!!! - excellent workmanship as well

Question, given that it is taking 5secs to recharge, and assuming you would eventually generate your HV using an ordinary inverter, would a 'typical' inverter be up to the job of charging a cap bank fast enough to run an engine?

I think this is a really good idea, doing it like that, to merge the HV and LV part in the same cicuit! (doing it serially with a lot of small caps which are responsible for the HV and one big for the long LV)
The only problem could be, like you saw, that all of the elements have to withstand quite a strong current and surges.
If one would make the same circuit, but in a MARX-Generator layout, one could get rid of the diodes, just as a remark...

And as I calculated above, if your discharge with your current circuit (around 340uF) gets the same amount of bang as some gaz in a cylinder would, then it would be possible to make an easy engine conversion...

Hi Shanti,

I like your name it sounds so peacefull

Here is a link to buy 6A10 1000V 6A Power Diode for $3.00 for 10 (ten) plus $6.00 for shipping from Hong Kong for as many sets
of 10 that you want (each extra set is free to ship). http://cgi.ebay.com/6A10-1000V-6A-Power-Diode-10-pieces_W0QQitemZ200209858953QQihZ010QQcategoryZ7287QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247  At this price I don't see a problem, unless you know that the MARX-Generator would work better in this application?

About how many watts do you figure it would take to run a 6 cylinder at 2,000 RPM

@capacitor70, great work thank you for testing and for sharing.

It takes 4 to 5 sec for charging, isolation transformer have less current rating this is main reson for larger charging time

6 Stages of multiplier are used
LV Cap = 330uF 400V
HV Cap = 2.2uF 400V
Diodes = 6A4 (400V 6Amps)

See the effect Without cap and with cap

I have put injection on top of spark plug, to check what happen if I give pressure to water
I dont see any pressure which push injection upward.

Pressure is important to drive engine ? I made any mistake..
Its only huge light No heating

You are right no pressure when it's COLD.  When the engine block is hot, it will expand and the piston will be driven downwards.  Otherwsie, it will all condense much like a flash steam explosion in a cold engine.  Good work.

What if it is an implosion! did you check that???

That could be good!... suck the piston up and no heat

I  would not   worry about the   heat at this point

You  are  making  plasma in a  open  space. .......  it will  be  mostly flash and noise . 
Think   of  a firecracker ....... if you hold your hand   open    you can light  a firecracker  and   let it  explode in your hand .
It  stings .....

Now ........if you  light a firecracker   and   hold it tightly   in a closed fist  you may  loose a  finger or 2 .

putting  the  plasma   in  a pressurized   cylinder   is like  closing  your fist aroiund  a firecracker .
If that  does not make  enough power ......then add more water .  .

It is hard  to  judge    how  much  plasma  you  have  by the pictures  ...........but  judging  by the  difference in the pictures you my have more  plasma than you need ........ if I was  you  I would  scale it back a bit for the first   in  motor  tests
