Water Injected Engine?

[onepower]

The first problem with an ICE is that it's not a fuel/combustion engine it's a expansion-pressure-force engine. It doesn't matter how we generate an expansion to produce the pressure which acts on the piston causing a force only that we do.

The next problem is that like most of our devices the ICE is always acting against itself. For example, we combust a fuel to create heat to produce an expansion-pressure-force. However compression heats/expansion cools so when the hot gasses in the cylinder expand they also start to cool and contract. In some low pressure long stroke steam engines the expanding steam starts to condense into water in the cylinder and it loses pressure. Some ingenious inventors recognized this fact and invented an expansion/contraction engine. Whereby the expansion did work, the medium was then allowed to condense and the contraction also did work.

So in fact there are two cycles however in most of our engines the expansion is internal and the contraction is external and does no work. Therefore at best we can only utilize less than half the energy actually present. Another brilliant inventor named Viktor Schauberger developed a way to control expansion/contraction outside the context of heat. Whereby heating can produce contraction and cooling expansion opposite to what we do. As Viktor implied, always do the opposite of what others are thinking and doing and you will be on the right track...

Hello Onepower,

Internal combustion engines are heat engine from a phase change from liquid to heat. The fact heat is generated to increase combustion pressure beyond the compression stoke is no different then using a phase change of water to steam. Both have the effect of increasing pressure in the combustion chamber.

Like all types of phase changes, there will always be a lost of heat that will effect piston pressure to do mechanical work. But steam will expand unless it drops below 212 deg. The problem with steam engine is there was no compression stroke to recover the heat loss.

This hydraulic compression tester is to test all types of liquids, like water. But what about marine algae also?

I hope to be back home in a month, I'm looking forward in testing a theory.

Efficiency
Clem engine... was that 350 hp ?
And then there is Papp
Basically magic engines that redefine efficient!!
Exploring phase change ...and where it can lead us !?


Sorry Tom ....but I'm also on the road (working)
and I really feel your gonna find it
That is to say ,the phase change gain mechanism!

This test bed is the key !!

Exciting stuff indeed
With gratitude
