Hi Matt (& others),
I am glad you raised the issue of unsuccessful attempts.
There are only 3 reasons for failure, singularly, or in combinations:
1.
Attitude2. Not enough HydrOxy volume and/or QUALITY (little or NO mono-atomic H and O contents)
3. Engine management error: Incorrect Ignition timing and/or fuel delivery method.
Attitude is perhaps the hardest to explain...
Number 2 should be obvious with the exception of the QUALITY definition.
What I call
“engine management” is by far the most common error – as I see it.
In your case, Matt, just because you did those mechanical modification to the engine, are you SURE
that you had the ignition timing correct?
I don't think you have.
The reason why I don't think you have is this statement:
“At best I could get it to putt, spit, putt, putt.”
That is a clear sign that either your ignition timing was NOT correct, or the fuel (gas) delivery was intermittent or fluctuating....
Remember,
when everything is done correctly, engines on HyrOxy ONLY are running
'smooth as a baby's bum'!No kidding.
By the way, what exactly cost you “thousands of dollars”??
Now, about your 'plasma' ignition.
Totally unnecessary!
HydrOxy IS the most volatile fuel and the required spark energy is a just a fraction of other fuel's!
Please read my “CDI circuit description.doc” for more details.
I cannot stress enough the importance of reading the various circuit descriptions!
Generally, I would say this to ALL who read here:
I don't care how good your understanding of electronics might be but without reading the circuit description of, say, the “Igninje5 circuit description.doc”, you can 'stare at it' all day and perhaps try to analyze it without understanding
WHY the circuit is arranged the way it is or
HOW it works!
(If you disagree, just try it!)
For those who may only want a “proof of concept” for themselves without automatic functions, you could use only the
'power supply',
'Igninje5',
'CDI' and
'pressure regulator' circuits and simply regulate gas delivery to the engine manually.
Over the years I have covered just about everything I could think of in my writings and various Forum posts.
I simply don't have the time to re-write everything!
I know that some of the readers here will never read the documents I have written.
Thus, the only way some of that will be read if I post it here!
I will quote from one of my documents which was named
“LesBankioninjection1.doc” by the late Michael Couch (watercarTWO Forum).
It was one of my rather long posts on that Forum and he put it into a document format.
“In closing,
just so you have someone else's opinion on this subject
(not just mine), I paste here a series of posts by `bolt' at

Yes its a OU system! The energy we put in is less then that provided by
other sources. Radiant Energy or water who cares. The excess is enough
where its looped. If the energy transformed only from water it doesn't
explain how the TPU and Kapanadze works when they don't need water.
Better a common factor of Radiant Energy powers all three devices.
Its funny when you show people a COP>1 system they say "its a
measurement error its not COP>1 if it is then you should be able to loop
it" Guess what? This is a looped OU device!
400 watts DC yields about COP 3 without resonance via the energy
contained within the HHO mix as its recombined within a spark. See
Atomic Hydrogen Torches and as much as COP 12 with 3 phase resonance
systems. So 3 * 400 = 1200 watts nett effective including RE. The are
two things we know are instant energy debts here. The lamp 400 watts i
think = 1200 - 400 = 800 watts and also the cell need 400 watts so i
have 400 watts to run the engine and cover the alternator losses. The
alternator is going to lose perhaps 150 watts from mechanical to
electrical so i got 250 watts left to keep the motor itself turning.
Will it loop? YES! PS if the lamp is larger then its taken from this 250
watts.
The 250 watts is left within the system and keeps the motor and
generator running overcoming the friction losses of the bearings, piston
friction and valve gear to maintain about 3000 rpm.
The system is scalable the French did this years ago on 25kw genset it
runs on pure water and provides like 10KW OU.« Last Edit: December 27, 2010, 09:17:50 PM by bolt »

When HHO is ignited under great pressure like 150-200 PSI with ICE the
power is greatly magnified. Like when you trap HHO in a container then
ignite it the explosion almost takes your roof off! Anyone that tries to
store any amount of HHO in containers at pressures over 7 PSI has just
made a lethal weapon particularly where its raised to pressure like 100
PSI its highly unstable and will try at any time to convert all that
energy back to water.
HHO recombination is an electron migration process where water is used
as a Zero Point Energy proxy. So the water is not actually the fuel even
though it will consume water. For all practical purpose who cares it
uses water? As HHO burns thru metals and raises to thousands of degrees
the process has been measured as OU as electrons are accelerated at huge
speeds form kinetic energy bombards the adjacent molecules in the
material being heated and the temperature is raised several magnitudes
hotter than the HHO flame itself. The process is improved higher by
high voltage spark at flame point as within Atomic Welding. High voltage
spark adds abundance of free electrons. See early 1900's books already
recognised this process as OU.
For HHO heaters use rock ore materials with high crystal content not
metal. As crystal excited by extreme heat the crystals are energised
release more and more high speed electrons as piezoelectric effect into
adjacent material heating >3000 degrees. The process goes OU. Special
cut rock is then built up around the heat chamber to make a HHO core
reactor. Then conventional fire bricks cover the stack to make a 300
degree IR radiant heater. Several patents on this already.
Typically the HHO yields a COP 3 within ICE when all the other
parameters have been perfected for engine timing etc.
So if you put 1000 watts into your cell you have 3000 watts of energy
within the engine. Take off 1000 you need to give back to keep the cell
going plus engine losses, friction and alternator conversion loss etc so
total you need to give back 2000 watts of this energy. Now you have 1000
watts OU available to run a load. You can see by making engine super
efficient you have 1000 watts here which can be recovered rather then
giving it back as losses so as the process is refined you get over 1000
watts OU.
Now you can see without any PWM driving and special tuning already the
process has a COP 3. By using PWM high frequency drives, ultrasonic
water fog injection, resonance tuned alternator, the COP can easily
exceed 5 even higher.
So if you perfected everything and used PWM etc reaching a COP of 10
within a car engine is not impossible in fact its very achievable as
others have done this already. You need a 5kW cell to get 50kW out the
engine running only HHO and nothing else. Perfect for a small car.

I find it VERY strange how one of the most exciting disclosures of
recent times witnessing a gasoline engine running on water and
generating 400w has the quietest thread? Maybe its a mental block or a
spell cast over mankind where there are more thrills within under unity
1 watt TOYS or perhaps Sports TV in HD has been good lately?

You don't have to make advanced PWM's to test this engine. DC is good
enough already COP 3 via ICE so if you tune everything correctly it will
work from the get go. Even if you are very sloppy and use all of the COP
3 to keep the engine running with nothing left for a load it makes a
nice OU water powered heater:)
While Les has covered all the dots and crossed the t's IMO is terribly
complex for DIY replication. It looks like a 1980's TV circuit LOL
You can do everything required using an AVR micro which only cost about
15 bucks. Then you add a hall sensor to pin 2, one power fet to pin 5
via a driver and a car ignition coil and you are good to go.

True this is not anything fancy like a bob Boyce system. HHO production
tweaks can be done later but already the system has a COP 3 with basic
DC control of the cell.
The logic here is just like a car engine ECU which controls the start
sequence and sets the correct timing. While it can be done using gears
and cogs its not very elegant and still has no control over engine speed
so might as well do everything at the same time using a processor.
Once
you have proper control over gas production and the timing you got
proper control over the engine.Re: Selfrunning HHO system with 400 Watts additional output

Bolt, are you planning on raising the compression ratio on your motor?
No its unnecessary and risk of engine damage.

On the Woodpecker video a flashback device is very close to the motor
inlet and the HHO is piped straight in.

<http://www.youtube. com/user/ woodpecker1311# p/a/u/1/kTFVW8w8 bjI>
Also on that video when the HHO is removed the engine continues to run
and surge. I suspect there is still some hydrocarbon vapors remaining?
You wont get rid of carbon vapours its a 4 stroke engine and therefore
it is lubricated by oil and will show very tiny amounts in exhaust BUT
its not the source of fuel.

On the Scarecrow videos from 2008 a 3.5 hp generator is shown running on
HHO with many flashback booms during start up. On the final and
postmortem videos he mentions 6 LPM @ 1000 watts was required for idle
and 9 LPM @ 2000 watts was required to run at full speed with a small
load. He did not make any timing or compression changes.

I hope you are wearing ear protection in your tests. From watching the
available videos it looks like starting the engine on gasoline to get
the engine temperature up quickly could make for a smoother transition.
Best of luck,
RD
if you don't change the timing the engine runs like a pig, back fires,
can bend valves and can burn hole in piston. Plus it requires a HUGE
amount of gas just to barely run. When properly tuned and blank spark
sorted all these issues vanish. Thanks for your input!
