@verpies Anyway, 1300ºF seems too low to me because open kerosene flame at atmospheric pressure burns at over 1800ºF (and a gasoline flame even a little higher) so it seems odd to me that a free raging flame would have a higher temperature than a flame contained in the combustion chamber (at the beginning of the power cycle, before expansion cooling occurs) which arises from a compressed, premixed and close to the stochiometric fuel/air ratio. There is nothing like hands on experience and when you see the exhaust inlet to a turbo and the turbo case glowing red hot at night as an engine screams at full power you begin to understand the reality of the situation. I had a 1600cc dual port head VW engine in a sand rail burning 90% methanol, 5% octane booster and 5% gas. It had 8" exhaust pipes bent upward like a dragster and when I bagged the throttle there were 8" blue flames coming from each pipe. The plugs had a white residue on them and you could literally smell the heat baking the engine. The engine would not have lasted 1 hour running that hot so I added water injection to cool the cylinders moderating the burn while still generating ungodly power for such a small engine. It generated so much torque when I dumped the clutch it started shearing the 5 hardened pins mating the crank to the flywheel. Keep in mind this was 37 years ago and I have leaned a few tricks since then. Googling stuff is fine but there is no replacing hands on experience like Tinman is doing. They don't teach that stuff in books... you make it up as you go along. The fact is this is not an open flame nor can it be compared to one, it's apples and oranges. We are speaking of a very fast clean burn where the internal pressure rise generates excess heat. Not a slow burn and I have first hand experience with pulse jet engines and pulse detonation engines. If you ever achieved a true detonation with a lean burn your engine heads would be laying on the neighbors lawn and the crank embedded in your driveway...trust me on this. I achieved a few pulses with my pulse detonation engine and it was rattling peoples windows down the block. You cannot even possibly imagine the sound that thing made and I swear my bones were rattling. I ran that bad boy up achieving true detonation one time and I realized I was in way the hell over my head. Have you ever shot a .50 cal ?, a detonation engine is 1000 times as loud and makes a .50 cal look like a BB gun. So it's probably easier you understanding there are things you may never understand because until you have actually seen it and felt it up close and personal words just fail to describe the reality of the situation. Google is not reality... hands on right in front of you is reality. Thank god there are still some "old school" guys here. Maybe me and Tinman can show you boys how the big dogs play. I have a few projects on the go but if Tinman wants to PM me all my engineering experience is at his disposal for this project. We can start here... http://www.rexresearch.com/singh/singh.htm. I proved Singh's theories are valid a decade ago with working engines. So I propose we turn Tinman's old 1920's washing machine engine into an HHO devouring spawn of Satan engine from hell. We need to start doing some really crazy shite here boys. Apparently I'm just not happy unless I'm up to my elbows in motor oil with my eyebrows singed. Oh the life of a redneck... take care boys.
