If the shoe fits wear it. Gee wonder why you are so taken back.

You answered what a 'crapster' post is and my answer to you waste of bandwidth also meets the definition.

Dr. Stiffler,

YOU ARE INCORRIGIBLE, AND VERY INCORRECT!! 
Are you for this water as fuel discovery to be shared by everyone? Just curious.

I was taken aback by your blatant lack of respect for a lot of us here....Clear enough?

Hi All,

Because it seems that people, who may or may not lack experience in electronics, are having trouble building and replicating the exploding water effect in previously described and shown devices, I have designed, built and tested what I believe to be a very simple to build device that most people can construct themselves at home that is powered only by a small square 9V battery that is commonly used in smoke alarms. I believe even kids can make this. Please see my latest video here:

http://www.youtube.com/m1a9r9s9

The purpose of this device is not to be able to power your car on water with it but simply to allow everyone to see for themselves and show others how water can directly explode on demand with little energy input. The device produces the required discharge in the spark plug about every 1 second and uses about 100-150ma from the 9V battery. At this current level the battery won't last too long but it is fine for demonstrations. For longer and continuous runs, just use a small 12V sealed lead acid battery of say 2 A/Hs.

Please see the circuit diagram and some pictures attached below.

All that is required to build this device is the following.

- A 12V, 150ma Security Xenon Strobe Light. Available from electronic and security stores. Color does not matter!

- An old car ignition coil. Available from automobile wreckers.

- A non resistor spark plug. Available from auto shops. Must not have a resistor in it!

- Five 1N5404 diodes or five large rectifying diodes. Part number doesn't really matter. Avaliable from electronic shops.

- A 9 volt battery. The same as used in smoke alarms. Available from anywhere.

- Some hook up wire.

- Basic tools including a soldering iron and some solder.

- Handheld water sprayer filled with water.

That's all folks!!

Please build this and show it to your friends, family, your teachers, professors, work mates anyone and everyone who can't believe that water can explode. Help your kids build this as their school science fair project. Just build it for fun!

On another note, my very good friend Ben has been doing some great research on this process as there is surprisingly quite a bit in the internet about it. He has found some references claiming that the energy released, when the water apparently explodes, is one thousand times the input energy required to cause the explosion. He has found some great info out about what may actually be happening but I will leave it to him to share if he gets time.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Ossie

Wow

I believe this callanan has a very interesting point here ..... we tend to always put more and more = more energy input ... KISS (Keep It Simple Please)


Based on his strobe design I found a strobe light tube (from RedLine co.) that I had bough 2 years ago at wallmart for 40$ CAD.

This strobe tube has 5 strobe lights with are fired at a user frequency (variator included in the unit that can be adjusted for your needs). 

The strobe has also 2 modes , linear sequential firing or randomized. I was wondering to myself that If you put a coil to each strobe and adjust the frequency triggering correctly, this unit might be quite usefull for testing multiple coil setup... you may test up to 5 cylinders on your car (Sorry for V6 cars loll )

I was also thinking that you can buy a Stun Gun, rated at 350,000v would that be a workable design?
They sell them for 20$ on ebay

@all, I was able to put together an Ossie C replication tonight using a strobe light. I recorded it with my Sony DSC-717. The circuit works great however the video turned out strange in that half or more of the very bright discharges are missing from the video, like they never happened  . The audio track is fine. Take a look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktbaJpCdNx0

Props to Ossie for a very effective & simple demo circuit. BTW the plug was cool to the touch after all that sparking and noise    Also noted that if the center wire was pulled from the coil an arc will come right out of the center of the coil and discharge to the coil side terminal, that's a lot of energy!

That spells "KISP" ...
