Are there any active builders/experimenters who have duplicated this "vapor" project on their own vehicle(s)?


I'm someone who could benefit greatly from this, IF it does actually work . . . .

Just as I said before: "just another fueling system", and it's known probably since 30's of 20th century. Its secret is that it provides clean fuel stripped of residual water and other impurities by relatively simple solution. Water and impurities found in most of the fuel sources act by choking the engine systems and thus often quite severely depriving its efficiency/performance.

Why is this an "amazing idea"? By the time fuel gets into the cylinders of any gasoline 4-cycle ICE it is already vaporized by the heat of the engine. The intake valves are cooled by contact with the cylinder head and by the fuel vapor-air mixture flowing over them. Only in direct-cylinder injection engines like Diesels can "liquid" fuel reach the cylinders themselves, and even then it is in a fine mist that is quickly turned to vapor by the heat of the cylinder . "Fuel injected" aircraft engines have the injectors outside the cylinders proper, spraying into the induction manifold near the _hot_ intake valves. My old Chevy uses "throttle body injection" where liquid fuel is sprayed onto the throttle plate in a thing that looks like (and is) a very simple carburetor body with electronic sensors. By the time the fuel gets to the cylinders it is completely vaporized, or there is something wrong.  Even in old style carburetted engines the fuel does not enter the cylinder as a liquid but as a thoroughly mixed fuel-air vapor.

Not true.   A lot of gas reaches the cylinders as liquid and is used to some extent as lubrication but is a wasteful lube.   I'm not saying it is ounces of liquid but far from being fully vaporized.
