URGENT! WATER AS FUEL DISCOVERY FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

[gmeast]

Hi everyone,

This is just an update on Firestorm wear.  I have included a photo of my #2 plug.  Right now the mixture is set lean ... in fact too lean ... but it had to be done.  The pic shows no carbon and each of the "bands" on the dome where spark bounces around actually look almost shiny in person.  There is no unusually localized wear or hot spots.  In fact, when comparing measurements to the baseline data, mostly just the narrowest portions are wearing and approaching the wider spaces (within the same band) ... equalization.  There is about 0.003 gap wear (ave) ... 400 miles.

Hi Greg
where can I get this one for my bug...

I still don't get significently fue saving from my system....

but still try...

Hi zzzz,

A guy named Robin David is a Firestorm Spark Plug replicator.  He made these for me to test.  At present he's perfecting his fabrication technique so they're not generally available.  Luc (this thread's moderator) has more details than I.  I'm sure Robin appreciates your interest.  More news about these plugs will be coming soon I'm sure.

Peace,

Greg

thanks,

from my system plug still look ok, only sharp edge of plug aliter bit fillet. it still work anyway.
how about iridium or platinum plug... very small core.. it work wery well with my turbo engine, but for plasma, i never try... how do you think about?

 mixture and timing
Hi all,

I just got surprised out of my wit. All along people here had asked me how much I had retarded the ignition timing. I think Aaron (from energetic) and Luc were the first to ask me that. I had adhered to the stock timing for my initial testing which is 7.5 to 10 deg advanced. Things ran fine and I got good results.

I have been trying to refine my steam generation a little and partly accomplished my goals on that. Then I decided to lean the mixture somewhat because adding an inert gas (in this case steam) displaces some air 'oxygen' resulting in a richer mixture. I re-jetted to 0.0465" which is mid way between "stock" and "it ain't gonna run". I took it for a ride and it bucked, hesitated and so on. I check the electrical, scoped the VexUs system, checked the plugs ... bummer - nothing.

It was the timing. With a lean mixture and the water, the speed of combustion must be tremendous! I set the timing to 0 deg TDC and it was better and then 5 deg retarded and it feels great there. Now I can speak to the timing issue first hand.

I would say that plasma initiated combustion is much more energetic than the standard combustion by a considerable factor.

I am going to refine my take on the timing issue, try several points and then get back to testing. I am able to aspirate 50% more steam than before with the simple I.V. drip system ... so I'll keep that. I am taking in only part (not all) of the air through the heater box ... a change away from what I was going to do. I still may have to cool the bowl.

Thanks for reading this,

Greg
