to all, i have been studying bob boyce's work for some time as well as many others. i have found a PDF file with detailed instructions about getting a car to run on water. this has the full construction of a 61 plate cell, with the electronics and many other components that he uses. I was wondering if anyone had experimented with his plate technology and have had any success?
I have been reading alot on this forum and how everything is made, although I am still a little bad on electronics, I make up for it in my mechanical ability, Hydrocars and stevie are very close to getting a car to sucessfully run on water, but my thought is, maybe it isnt just the electronics and how much hydrogen you can produce in a certain amount of time. As I have said before, I am a gearhead through and through. I was researching different modifications for engines. One of my past employers who is still a friend of mine, has an old small block chevrolet. This engine also has "Gas Ported Pistons" and a Nitrous specific camshaft. While this may require more hydrogen because of the increased horsepower of the engine, but I thought that the Pistons being Gas Ported and designed for a gaseous fuel instead of a liquid, they may just give you that little bit that you need, or that certain missing puzzle piece. Please let me know what you think or if anyone has experimented on the engine internals.
I read one e-book which explained how to "run a car on water" which many of them do, and it said that once the engine is running that he suggests gettin stainless valves, stainless exhaust and ceramicoting the pistons. but what about if you are trying this on a boosted car. there is alot of "blow by" against the piston rings. This means that you have browns gas in your crank case. I know that hydrogen will evaporate quickly which can be helped by a breather on the valve covers, but it is the oxygen that I am really worried about. JE pistons now has new pistons with various coatings on them which can hold the metal's integrity on nitrous oxide specific engines. as for your questions about that, Nitrous Oxide does add power to your engine, the way it adds power is the better ratio of oxygen to Nitrogen than the atmosphere air you are burning, not only that, but nitrous oxide also does the job of cooling the combustion chamber. With the better oxygen ratio, this allows us to add more fuel to the engine which will in turn make more horsepower. Big nitrous oxide systems require colder range spark plugs with bigger gaps, and also timing is one of the biggest issues with this. the rule of thumb is that you should retard your timing about 2 degrees for every 50hp shot of nitrous. I guess what I was trying to say in my earlier post was that these pistons were beefed up and specifically built for fast burning and high temperatures lol. Just something to think about. Winter break is coming up for us college kids, I am going to home depot and going to attempt my own electrolysis machine. Hopefully I can post some pictures by the first of the year.
