How about a triple exhaust system. The outer layer would have no air so that no heat would be lost. The middle layer would have the water and the inner layer the exhaust gases. That way it won't have any backpressure and no heat loss. The same thing with rest of the engine.
لو ان هناك بخاخات حقن مباشر داخل السلندر تضخ بخار الماء المستمد قوة من حرارة العادم ويكون توقيت ضخها في شوط الإنضغاط أتوقع سنحصل على تجزيء لذرات الهيدروجين والأوكسجين بفعل الحراره العاليه وإنفجار أعلى وعادم أقل تلوث وإستهلاك وقود أقل
the coil unfortunately only captures about 5 to 6% of the total heat waste......... does it warrant great expense and modification ?? Keep plugging away tanx
I Build motorcycles and one of the biggest problems is in the alternator. Getting one to drive everything. This has essencially just eliminated the alternator completely. Thats before mechanical drive. Tell you what the world needs more people like you to keep us all moving forward. enious simply genious.
Hi Monandjay. I've just phoned my cousin,Jonathan, and left him a message that he really should answer his comments. If you can take th trouble leave one, the least he can so is answer it. Very slack! Being no expert, I can't comment. Mike
Hi monandjay, in this design the steam drives a turbine with the energy delivered to the powertrain either mechanically (eg cogs and/or belts)or electrically as you suggest. Both have advantages and disadvantages (eg electrical energy transfer may be more efficient and versatile but more complex and costly). The turbine is not directly connected to the crankshaft because of synchronisation and other issues. The energy-combining function is achieved using a special coupling or gearbox.jonathan
couldnt you capture the heat energy by using the steam to run a generator and run an electric motor to supplement the engine power. you could use a smaller engine with and electric motor attached to the crankshaft before the clutch or torque convertor. this would put less load on the engine with higher power.
To get more viewers i think you need to give the video a more relevant name. By having the copper coil in the exhaust pipe does it disrupt the flow of the exhaust gases? Any back pressure up the pipe could have a negative effect on the engine and also lose power. It's a fantastic idea though, i'd love to see it actually driving an engine. Perhaps with the right equipment you could use a double layered exhaust pipe that didn't disrupt exhaust flow?
What name do you suggest? Any such helpful comments, I'll pass on to Jonathan who will be delighted. Thanks for taking th trouble to comment, Controlledfreak. Mike Rubbo
I'm cetainly no machining expert so i don't know how it would be manufactured, and i don't even know where one could be bought, but if you had a double layered exhaust pipe you could run the water through the outer pipe. How about "Jonathan Sutton creates more power with less emissions"? At the moment it sort of sounds like a guide to strapping a turbo to the side. I thought i was going to be watching that :S.
I'm aware of backpressure effects, however the big temperature and expansion differential between inner and outer skins of a sleeve may cause stress fractures. My copper coil is free to expand and contract within the exhaust pipe and provided the diameter is adequate, wont cause backpressure problems. At this stage I'm not stuck on any particular designs for heat recovery components. These will evolve dependent onoperational efficiency, manufacture and application.jonathan
That's not a radical idea at all. It seems to be very reasonable and something that should have happened a long time ago. Best of luck to you - please make this happen!

the electric motor could supplement the petrol engine during acceleration and even cruising. just a thought.
