    Here is a video I just found on youtube and saw it for the first time!

    8.69mb WMV format.

    Nice!
    These sparkplugs + joecell could run the car on air alone

    plasma

    I think the same about the other cells too.

    Actually just water alone is exploded on contact with that plasma burst.

    Robert Krupa has even ran an engine on 100:1 air/fuel mixture just to prove it could be done. Not for practical driving.

    It has always been claimed that a lean mixture can't work but that is only if you're using a measly little spark...that won't release much from the fuel that is there but this big blazing plasma ball will certainly release more from the same amount.

    Robert Krupa Interview

    Very interesting page on water explosion, and the Firestorm.

    Robert Krupa Firestorm Patent





    Read this article:
    NEXUS: Firestorm Sparkplug

    Patent number
    : 5936332
    Filing date: Jul 21, 1997
    Issue date: Aug 10, 1999
    Inventors: Robert Krupa, Chester C. Lulavage
    Assignee: Century Development International Ltd

    &

    Patent number: 6060822
    Filing date: Aug 18, 1998
    Issue date: May 9, 2000
    Inventors: Robert Krupa, Chester C. Lulavage
    Assignee: Century Development International Ltd.

    Abstract
    A very unique universal bi-directional firing spark plug for any spark ignited internal combustion engine, whether racing, industrial, truck, aeronautical, automotive, recreational or residential (for trimmers, edgers, brush cutters, leaf blowers, leaf vacuums, chain saws, augers, tillers, lawnmowers, riding mowers, tractors, generators, etc.). This spark plug eliminates misfire and improves gas mileage, peaks engine performance, horsepower, and increases the RPM range, while utilizing and enhancing current ignition systems. In addition, this spark plug serves as a low emission device that reduces the effects of global warming, acid rain, and smog via greatly reduced emissions through vastly improved fuel combustion within all internal combustion engines by operating at a 24:1 air-to-fuel ratio. This unique spark plug is comprised of an elongated or non-elongated body with an electrical connector at one end. An absolute aerodynamic semispherical dome or sphere electrode is secured...

    Who made this actual plug?

    What result was achieved in testing?

    I don't have much more information. The text came from a PDF from the Yahoo Group "Hydroxy" file section. I believe Patrick Kelly posted it.

    The links above have all the information I am aware of.

    jeweler made plug?

    It looks like a pic I saw that was a prototype of Krupas supposedly hand crafted by a jeweler.

    Great interview! Everyone should listen to it! Maybe he can get the Brazilians to make them & export them to us. This show points out the sad state of affairs in corporate America; the biggest reason we don't have fuel efficient vehicles,etc.

    Spark plug conversion to plasma fired water injector

    Hi folks,

    This Firestorm Plug thread started me thinking about a tech note that was posted May 12th in the files section at WaterFuel1978 : Water Fuel

    The tech note describes and shows a homemade conversion of a spark plug to a dual anode coaxial plasma fired water injector plug. The prototype looks like it could definitely work, and might be worth considering for experimentation and enhancement. The author is freely sharing the concept, and there is no patent pending.

    Anyone interested?

    Best regards, Rickoff

    I thank you kindly for posting that link, it reinforces the theory and sheds new light on aspects that have been kept quiet to date.

    I still think what we are seeing here:
    YouTube - HHO experiement with horizontal stainless mesh cell
    Is perhaps where the answer lies.

    I feel the output of this cell, meaning volume, being "injected" into the combustion chamber, then ignited with a Firestorm plug, perhaps delivered by a Nology lead, will see a suitably robust combustion being achieved, with the HHO content as the bonus to keeping it all happening.

    Robert Krupa alluded to a phenomena becoming apparent when the stoic level was doubled to 30 to 1, I feel this is where the "secret" lies, and will be realised most, once the metering is correctly set to where that mixture can be held onto. I reason that the low output of a HHO gen, as we are used to seeing, can be "stretched" out to realise this 30 to 1 ratio with careful metering.

    There needs to be a suitable injector made, and I think there are a few people playing around with that right now.

    I have recently completed a series of tests with standard "J" gap spark plugs, indexed to the best firing positions, and topped off with a comparison to the Brisk HOR15LGS multi firing point plug, the results are interesting as it clearly shows a temperature reduction along the lines of what Robert Krupa alluded to with his Firestorm, although not as extreme as what he achieved, it's still a lot closer to what he managed than what you can get with a standard "J" gapped plug.

    This link will get you to where you can see the temperature changes apparent in the indexed standard "J" gapped plugs, as opposed to the Brisk concept plugs.
    Spark plug indexing versus concept plug tests will begin this weekend. | OldHolden.com

    Follow the relevant links from there.

    I believe the current HHO boosters are sufficient for the task, it's just getting the "mixture" right.

    Hi Rickoff!
    That is an interesting concept. However I don't know of an epoxy that would not melt from the operating temp. of the engine & let the plug either short out or blow the whole center of the plug out when it softened up.
    Also the compression would blow the water backwards(yes I see the valve, don't believe it would stop it; probably blow it apart too.) Why not just build the anodes solid(no water injector tube in the middle) & run the water in through the intake manifold or existing fuel system?
    Also looks really hard to assemble so that all parts are insulated from each other, at least in most workshops.
    Then there is the problem of the power supplies, oversized alternators, inverters, & basically re-wiring the ignition system
    I think this is way too much for the average person to tackle(or even most above average people.)
    Much easier to build a set of firestorm plugs using non-foulers as the plug body & couple that with HHO as the fuel. A lot safer too.
