Water Injected Engine?

[ramset]

Perhaps Sam could explain a bit


Here a snip from the Tom Bearden tribute
Posted here a while back in user onepower's
Tribute topic at Bearden's passing!


Lithium nitrate at 20ppm in water ..injected at 500 psi


Tom (R)
Thanks!!


I do hope your efforts bring the open source community together to crack these mysteries!!
We need to work together...and help each other now more than ever !

Ps
I hope those attachments below are proper ??
One should be snip from Bearden tribute
And second should be procedure for mixing lithium nitrate
Solution to 20ppm
( which I received from an open source FE researcher/scientist)


Unfortunately I am unable to open links here at this forum from my phone !
(to check if it's what i wanted to post )

Hi All,

Many unknowns in this theory, so I came up with a Hydraulic compression tester up to 100:1 ratio.

This has a adjustable check valve in case pressure goes beyond 100 bar.

This will be able to test all kinds of fluids.

I forgot to add a temperature sensor.....

Hello all,

To answer the question of heating water to steam.

One BTU will raise 1 pound of water 1 degree, 231cu/in / 8.33= 27.73cu/in or 15.366 ounces of water.

If incoming air temperature is 60deg and a compression of 50:1 the temperature would be about 60 x 50= 3000 deg.

3000deg /3.41 =879.77 watts of power.

50:1
14.7 x 50 =735psi
The real question is what pressure is generated at that temperatures?
If the water is already at 200deg before being injected in to the engine, less energy is need to create a phase change from water to steam.

I do believe this hydraulic compression tester with psi and temperature reading would give some great data for any future build.

Yes a static test bed is truly the best way forward!


One thing we were told years back ( in this open source public forum ) on lithium and water
It is claimed that it halves the temperature (2000 C/ 3200F )
For molecular disassociation

Testing to 1000c would make the task so much easier
and you are going even higher in your test apparatus !

The previously mentioned (above) Sam Leach claim of 20ppm lithium nitrate per volume in water
at 500 PSI !
Will be so easy to test on your test bed !( compared to trying to manifest necessary
Conditions in an engine !


Better put a blast shield too .... I hope you will need it !:)


So many things can be tested for their phase change and combustion characteristics ( yes I know "you" know this already)


With gratitude

Another great idea to pursue Tom.  We already know that water injection in a normal ICE can improve performance and lower  emissions.  So your idea just takes that further.


Can you clone yourself so that one of you can stay in Florida and make money while the other one tests your ideas?
