great work and video, thanks for posting 5*'s for the right stuff...

neat

It's a four stroke engine. If it were an engine such as a two stroke (cycle) engine, I think you'd have to modify the rig, to inject an oil spray into the fuel gas just before it enters the engine. You'd want to make it adjustable, so that you could obtain the proper mix. I've not tried this, but I believe this was discussed some time ago, on in a previous posting here. But I'm sure it's doable.

Hi,nice video. a question, is it a two-stroke, or four-stroke cycle engine? Will geet not produce problems on two-stroke cycle engine since it needs oil in the fuel?

Very good! I would love to see a video, please let me know when you've posted this.Great job!

mine runs on 75% drain oil, 25% gas !/2 pint for 20 mins, it's a 1.7 plymouth horizon 4 cly. engine , I might get to making the video this weekend , mines going to heat my garage this winter with the heat from the water & exhast! runs great, if I can get all the heat out exhaust before it exits the wall, that'll be 100% eff.

keeping inlet charge cool increases the air going into the cylinder ...but a very hot engine is much more efficient ,engines are made to run as hot as practical without boiling coolant or overheating metal componentsthe geet system / bubbler uses gas made from fuel , so there is less fuel droplets wasted in combustionit's more efficient than fuel injection , but harder to manage the ratio'sa hot engine is more powerful any daya cold engine usually has more fuel injected so is inefficient

No. I have not. I don't doubt it's possible, but I DO NOT believe that my setup will function as efficiently as it would need to, to break down enough water into its components of hydrogen, and oxygen. I haven't worked on this project in some time. My alt. energy research has come to a bit of a halt, and I've had to focus on more practical things in the last several months. Regrettably, my work on an "improved" reactor has been halted as well, and I have nothing further to report currently.

have you successfully ran this engine on anything containing NO gasoline? I realize it needs hydrocarbons to get started but after the reactor is properly heated and if yuned, it shouldn't need HCs anymore.

Unfortunately no, I haven't. As a matter of fact, I have no idea at all of the fuel savings. I have not done enough testing on this apparatus, to conclusively prove that it has a fuel savings. But, even if this thing is only running on fuel vapor versus a liquid spray into the cylinder, there will be a savings. The only downside may be increased heat in the engine. But, I've seen no indications of this. I am still working on a new design that focuses on the vortex heat exchange principle.. |
