redeagle

I am building a vapor fuel system for my gocart. It is going to have dual bubblers on fore gas and one for water and a drip feed system to keep them around a certain level. Inspired by the GEET system, I installed and fresh air intake heater tho heat the air going to the bubbler. Well it worked so well i'm not going to be able to run all of my air through the fuel bubbler. I am in need of a valve to switch the intake from the fuel bubbler to the water bubbler as needed. I saw one on the internet about a year ago that was designed for proportioning ZPRs in the case of two differen't fuels. But as luck has it i can't find it again. I could do it with two ball valves. But i'm looking for a single control point to make it easier to switch while driving. If i can get it working real well and miniturized I am hoping to intall the system on my minibike so that i can add HHO to the mix.

Has anyone seen one of these valves?

Sounds good Jetijs. I guess the only thing after that is keeping the battery in condition some how. After all bedini has some thats been running for years now on the same batteries.

Thanks

Edit:I know that you have to rest the batteries between charging and discharging. And for most batteries you have to cycle them or risk losing capacity. But from what I understand from what aaron said about his self runner and gel cells is that over time the gell dried out. What I don't know about the people that have done self runners is if they cycled their primary batteries and let the motor charge them back up or if they just let them run flat out. And what kind of batteries were they using?

I'm not sure why this thread died out. But i am attempting a self runner myself and i am curious if anybody has tried constant charging of the input battery and pulsing to a cap bank to run the motor. Theoretically this seems to me to be the better option because gel cells prefer constant charging. I'm not overly concerned with what happens to my input battery because it was a freebie that i am reconditioning, as long as any damage only happens to the battery.

Some body posted in the big joule thief thread a simple flasher circuit that could be used to charge the caps for the motor.

Any inputs are appreciated.

it all depends on what you are going to do with the torch. There are microtorches small enough to use around a half a liter per minute. But that little gas wouldn't be cutting through steel. A large torch would probably be impractical because you could end up killing your battery if you run it for too long without the motor running.

it depends on what additives you have in your solution for electrolytes. Some chemicals can cause tremendous harm to engines. Bottom line be careful.
