Here we are using the circuit from the JCBX document from the watercar1978 forum, and our own home made Robert Krupa Firestorm spark plugs.

using a higher voltage ignition coil, and our circuitry, we are able to explode the water.

We've finally got the circuitry down, but now e need to take it to the next step, we need to get the engine to run, any help from capacitor70 or s1r9a9m9 or the JCBX people is greatly appreciated, we are thinking of hooking up a bingofuel reactor to get some extra power.

let me know what you think

  • Your spark is too weak. Try 250volt 220uf cap with 3 similar microwave diodes in parallel off the coil to HV lead. It may work on your setup, I guess it depends on the inverter. Your spark should sound like a shotgun going off and look like a big white flash about 12inches diameter. This spark will move a piston by itself without water. Add water and run. Easy way is to plug straight into 240 volt mains power but use fuses to protect the diodes. Lot of power for points/relay to cope with.

  • However, if you are using gaseous H-O-H (Brown's gas), you will need to adjust the timing to BDC (bottom dead center) or a few degrees past BDC (the upward stroke). This is because H-O-H "implodes" when ignited and creates a vacuum and upward pull on the cylinder.

    Keep up the good work, and God bless your efforts.

  • I don't know if you tried this yet, but if you haven't ... try adjusting the timing to TDC (top dead center) or a few degrees past TDC, if you are injecting liquid H2O. In other words ... fire your spark on the down stroke. For in contrast to gasoline which burns, H2O explodes, and therefore its expansion rate can be considered almost instantaneous. Firing before TDC with liquid H2O will stall the engine.

  • Dont know how you would but what about plating the cylinder in nickel?

  • have u trred sending steam instaed of normal water into the system?

  • For a water source as fuel, have you tried using a pond fogger water mister and allow it to be drawn in from the air intake? How about water vapor or steam from a heated coffee pot?

  • another thing timing is important or the engine will never run or even turn over

  • if you advance the timing that should help water vapors only fire 90 degrees out of phase top dead center so you would need to advance the timing all then work from there try some heated or super heated water vapor first or you will crack the cylinder heads or blow a gasket or worse because water doe snot compress

  • I would like to make an observation on questions relating to the increase of spark/plasma that is achieved when the plug is under pressure. My feelings on this are that compression seems to act like a capacitor on spark plugs what we are actually seeing here is a shorter duration spark that is occurring at a slightly later time hence its capacity to build to a greater volume before it has the power to jump the gap.

  • Platinum plugs may be worth a try , it reported to be good a splitting water if thats the effect you are after ? , if its the shock wave effect it would be volume of water
