It was a thing of beauty to see that engine "fire" . 

A thought came to me that is easy to try.  Add a little hydrogen peroxide to the spray bottle and see if there is more of a reaction.    Maybe the engine will start easier if perhaps there is some disassociation of the H2 and O2 and the spark might ignite some of the molecules.  Maybe this will aid the conversion of water to vapor state?  Sort of act as a catalyst by a little combustion to the process?

hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen dioxide) mixes well with water and in high concentration is a rocket fuel.

Hi all. I have read with interest the past posts and I have a question, of the drawing back on post #653. Ossie shows in his drawing near the coil, a device labled C3, which I believe is a capacitor? What is the value and is it a cap? I have everything else just about wired up and I need this help.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

2uf, 250V bipolar. The values are not that imprtant for the test. You can also use an auto distrbutor condensor here which is made for this purpose.

Ossie

Hi all,

I?m not sure if this document went largely unnoticed (thanks, stanis!) but after a quick reading I?d like to raise a couple of issues that bothers me. Maybe someone part of that group can help me solving the main question I have, which is about the temperature of the running engine. Is it running cold or hot? I?ve seen that actual power is slightly reduced and I?ve read a lot of other information but I was fervidly and unsuccessfully looking for the answer to what I consider to be a fundamental question: Tout should tell us a lot and it is not even mentioned
Well, what bothers me also in connection to the above question is the fact that 800W (give or take) is clearly not enough to make the engine running hot (steam is surely out of question) so, why the condenser in the modified tank?! On the other hand, if the engine runs cold (let?s assume for the sake of debate that it violates the 2nd principle) then it will actually evacuate cold vapors and keep cooling up to the point of ice formation; tank structure doesn?t justify either as it would make more harm than good.

Please comment.

Many thanks,
Tinu

Tinu,
IMO there will be friction......where there is friction, there is heat.
