This is running on 40% used motor oil, 40% water/detergent, 20% 2cycle gas mix (see test 5). Splash suppressor in bubbler failed as usual but the reactor is working. Next I will re-integrate the carburetor and a 'dry bubbler' to catch drips before they get to the reactor.

  • My apologies if you've answered this question in a previous video, but have you tried with the bubler air intake connected to the exhaust output to preheat the fuel mix, thus reducing the viscosity and increasing the vapourisation of the fuel mix?

  • I hadn't tried that on this implementation but it's on the test roster. Also I've recently been advised to connect the exhaust to the bubbler above the waterline with fresh air thru the bottom so that the fuel agitation is not so aggressive - reduce splashing. I'll try both inputs thru the bottom of the bubbler.

  • I think the fuel you are getting in the intake line to the reactor is just condensed fuel vapor from the bubbler. . I would insulate the lines or, rig it so the condensate can return to the bubbler. from a "Drip loop" placed inline,,, cool stuff though you have my attention,,lol,,,though you do sound like a bit of a nerd,,jk Joshua

  • How long will the engine run on a fifth of Everclear?

  • To stop the fuel splashing why not build in some baffles such as those used in boat fuel tanks?

  • insted of tapein the pipe you could use aviation permatex to stop the air leak, works great

  • how long does it run on 1 liter feul, and how long on 1 liter water with feul ?

    And is it posible to light your whole house with it ?

  • Are you still unable to burn all of the fuel?

  • @Gcarman50 I love the idea of preheating the intake air so that it is both warm and fresh air. Great idea!

  • I have no idea if this will help but here goes. The mixture could be condensing in the line, try insulating and making the line shorter. Good luck, nice setup.

  • To check for leaks in pipes such as this, use some " Kitchen Washing up Soapy Liquid", simply shoot some around the seals of units & pipe connections,( Run the unit) - And watch for bubbles showing up around these areas, (Bubbles = leak), simply wash down when done, it's an easy and A "pretty fail safe test to do on all newly constructed systems", Indeed I do it regularly regardless. good video too, thanks.

  • where do you get the "iron rod" that goes inside the black pipe from? and it is rattling around inside? can you hear it? Good vid btw
