Water fogger

[Duranza]

Hey guys... i was just thinking. You know those water foggers .. like this ones http://www.mainlandmart.com/foggers.html Now i was wondering about injecting the water fog to an car engine... Now my question is would the spark ignite the fog?? I know it is still water molecules (not broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen... But has anybody tryed this?

i dont think your car will go far with that

While fogging the fuel before mixing it with air might help it burn more efficiently, water would not help in the combustion of or the hydrocarbons in any way.

Heres an example of standard octane gasoline combustion reaction:
C8H18 + 17(O2) = 8(CO2) + 9(H2O)

Just a note though, I'm just speculating but the ammount of energy required to fog the fuel is probably higher then potential energy gain by the more efficient burn.

ALTHO?!?!?!

I wonder if fogging water would assist in a electrolysis cell?

This is just an educated opinion, but I believe part of the efficiency of an electrolysis unit has to do with the surface area of water in contact with alloy rods. By fogging the water you are essentially mixing air into the water and diluting (with air) the concentration of water over a given surface area. This would make the entire process less efficient.

This is just my opinion. I wouldn't know for sure unless I tested the idea.

I was simply thinking if the water is in an excited state as a fog and may possibly lend some of that energy to the electrolysis process. May I ask, what is your opinion of using heated water? In other words if the temp goes up does the watts per mole go down?
