Hi UncleFester,

I'm sorry I missed this, GOLLY !!! ..... after reading your posts in the other threads here at just Energetic Forum there is a better understanding from me on your statement here. I find it interesting that through Bob's patent where he was trying to cover every possible way a spark plug threaded base with basket configuration could be made, and then lets the patent laps.

Plus the information from a accredited automobile manufacture as Lotus engineering on their testing of prototypes in their facility and Bob using excuses to never show the air to fuel and horsepower gains supposedly documented by Lotus on the testing.

Then to use the lapsed patent and the never seen before testing documentation to acquire $200,000.00 from a investor for advancing the invention ..... WOW !!!

Thanks for this information !!

Glen

I think the spark plugs that were referred to were the Splitfire and/or NGK V-Power brands with the split electrode.

The other interesting thing that Bob Krupa mentioned was the new design using the 1% Beryllium 98% Copper alloy and that the manufacturing could be done in a jewelery store where Goldsmith work is done. "WHAT A HINT" !!!

This would mean that the new electrode and threaded base with the basket is being made through a "Investment Casting" process the same as Goldsmiths and some specialized industries uses for finished cast parts.

Investment casting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The basic equipment needed to manufacture this type of "Firestorm" spark plug in small quantities is the same as a Goldsmith .....

And here's one of the big players I've actually done some work with in their wax casting rooms renovation years ago located in Portland, Oregon. They specialize in Commercial and Military Turbine Aircraft or Generation Blades & Vanes, Cruse Missile components, Medical prosthesis joint replacements and many other products.

So this is actually easier than welding a bunch of small parts together for a finished product ..... these two parts can be cast with little to no machining, with possibly only a rolled edge needed at the time of assembly at the top of the threaded base and basket. This is to hold in the insulator and pre installed electrode assembly using some kind of high temperature silicone one way jacket sealing "O" rings internally.

Just a Thought

Robert Kurpa's Firestorm Plugs

Hi everyone,

There is a thread started by Aaron quite some time ago here at Energetic with more details on patent information, replication data and video references ..... this is the link ....

Robert Kurpa's Firestorm Plugs

It does appear possibly some revised design changes have happened regarding the metal material being used in the electrode and threaded base.

Hi everyone,

I just saw some information on the "Firestorm" spark plugs invented by Bob Krupa, CEO of Century Development International that is very thought provoking.

This is a "LIVE" interview by "SmartScarecrow" of the Scare Crow Show on March 11, 2010 ..... approximately 71:48 ( 71 minutes, 48 seconds ) long but well worth it.

Things of interest .....

FIRESTORM spark plug operates at a 30 to 1 air to fuel ratio ( optimum 24 to 1 ) 90 to 1 possible

FIRESTORM needs 1.25 joules of ignition power ( crane cam ignitions ) @ 33:00
[ MSD .6 joules power not enough - stock "Standard" ignition .25 joules ]

FIRESTORM spark plug center "Electrode" is a one piece cast ball not machined

FIRESTORM spark plug threaded base and electrode is a alloy 1 % birrilum 98% copper

FIRESTORM plasma ark not spark

FIRESTORM spark plug exploding water as fuel using 5 to 6 joules of ignition power @ 45:00

Hey Aaron,

I remember a post of mine http://www.energeticforum.com/renewa...ark-plug.html? asking about spark plugs ..... I bought them as you suggested for my 82 GT Mustang w/ 5.0L hang on tight quite the performance increase !

Hi Jetijs,

Very impressive prototype construction , the only problem I've ever seen with these type of devices is the oil foaming up and the oil loosing its viscosity from the heat from prolonged operation.

I did,

Tube-
2 x Pi x .125 (r)= .785 + 2 x .0625 (r)= .392 > .785 + .392 = 1.177

Wire-
2 x Pi x .038 (r)= .238 X (strands) 7 = 1.666

I hope my math is ok, gettin old,

Glen

What ?????

Aaron,

I've never heard or seen this before, went to the web site and am really confused with this whole concept. The battery cable for instance, auto manufactures on an average use a #4 AWG CU wire rated at 95 amps for the battery connections.

General Spec's
1) CU wire dia. (.232 in) Strands 7 @ (.077 dia)

CU Tube Product Spec's
1) Outside dia. (.250 in) Inside dia. (.125 in)

As I'm sure you know the electrical current flows on the exterior or surface of the wire or anything conductive.

The formula for Round Surface Area is - 2 x PI x R x H = sq.in.
(R= radius, H= height)

Given that formula - a 1" long item

The tube has - 1.17 sq.in. surface area
The wire has - 1.69 sq.in surface area

The tube having a loss of - .52 sq.in. surface area (a hefty percentage)

Where does the current loss go into magnetism or is it a loss all together, I don't understand this concept, a vehicle needs what current it needs not a loss in current ??

(a starter uses between 1.2 - 1.8 kw at 12V DC nominal)

Any comments ?
