Oxy-hydrogen is the mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gases resulting from electrolysis of water. When ignited this mixture burns with a hypersonic flame front (faster than supersonic) and the result is high temperature water vapor. Depending on the existing thermodynamic conditions this water vapor tend to expand rapidly (explode) and then condense when its heat is lost to the surroundings. This condensation can result in a rapid local pressure reduction which can be used to generate lift and reduce drag on a vehicle in a fluid medium such as air or water. This offers the potential for motion at higher speed and/or improved energy efficiency with zero carbon emissions.

plus could i just say could you turn this into a bigger work mechincal model to power maybe a train a bit like a steam train but powered by this type of power. just a idea sod the personnal automobile use it for social reasons like a train piston self contained system for long distances with maxium energy to propulsion

@floorspeed Our next step is to build a bigger system with the explosion/implosion happening in front of a vehicle. We aim to reduce air resistance [drag] on the vehicle.
