A serious challenge
This one is for the clever people out there. Petrochemical companies spend large amounts of money to stop the progress of the water engine. It is very simple and many barge owners know only too well how volatile the dreaded battery is whilst it is charging, I have probably blown the top off at least three. The problem is Hydrogen and Oxygen, every lead acid battery produces these explosive gases when being charged or discharged. Now if you can get past the common yawning syndrome it might stimulate the grey cells. The system has been devised many times only for the dreaded oil companies buying up the patents on all the systems that have been perfected, so the question has to be why not embrace it and someone get to it and perfect the system. 4/5 th's of the planet is covered by the wet stuff and global warming is predicted to increase that. If you type into your google search engine "water engine" you might see what I'm banging on about. Now for a little experiment, take a pyrex glass beaker 3/4 fill with water, add some baking powder and stir. The baking powder is to make the water so that an electrical current can be passed through it. attach to one side of the beaker a copper strip with a cable soldered to it so that the copper goes into the water mix. obtain some HP lead pencils and clamp them onto the opposing side of the beaker. attach a wire clamp similar to that found on a set of jump leads. The leads have to be a little way from the beaker and below as the two gasses are lighter than air and rise and dissipates quite quickly. The lead going to the pencil leads needs to go to the positive side of a 12 volt car battery and the copper lead attached to the negative side of the battery. The bubbles comming off the copper plate (cathode) will be oxygen and the pencil leads will produce Hydrogen bubbles (anode). You have now produced a hydro/oxy generator. If mounted under the air intake for the engine and a tube to feed the two gasses into the engine, start the engine and connect the leads. You should notice that the engine revs increase quite dramatically. from the exhaust you should have a trickle of water which indicates you are recombining the two gasses. Always remember hte formula H2O. You get two parts of hydrogen to one of oxygen. Consider loads of Dutch barges floating in water, running on water and hydrogen is very kind to engines so long as you remember to put oil in the sump. To my knowledge this can only work properly on a petrol engine but a chevy small block running on this mix will produce about 500hp. Down side is zero pollution and petrochemical companies going bust. Who in their right mind wants to use that smelly diesel stuf that if you spill just a drop the smell lingers for ages. spill a bit of water, who would care. Now if you have not fallen asleap, use your mouse and see what has already been achieved else where in the world where the oil companies cannot get to them. A word of caution both Hydrogen and Oxygen are very explosive gasses so experiment out in the open. Have fun
