    liquid chemical supercharging

    I've assumed the water is an inert carrier (except for latent heat). The idea is to use a half venturi siphon[in intake plenum]drawing from a seperate ss tank. testing the siphon this weekend. looking for max .75"hg drop on the venturi. guess at that point i will try sally's h2o2! using a...

    Ethanol

    Don't think you can. E15 is max. Flex fuel vehicles have a ffv logo somewhere on the body. E85 would require a tank sensor and high volume injectors. I'm also an ethanol fan, hard to get here for experimenting. Testing the parallel fuel system approach. Have to use stove fuel, Everclear or...

    liquid chemical supercharging

    dilute H2O2 seems likely? Sally supply sells a clear "developer" that called 40 strength. I think its about 15% H2O2. Has anyone tried this????? Seems like it would mix with acetone or alky.

    Besides nitrous oxide, what else would work?

    water injection to gas engines

    I have a book written in 1952 by a German engineer that used "exploding water" to hydroform precision pieces during WW2. A more current publication dealing with the subject is 'Newtonian Electrodynamics' Peter and Neal Graneau. See Ch. 6-7. Pressures routinely reach 20,000 ATM in...

    "Supercharged!" (new book by Corky Bell)

    I have the Graham Bell book, its the best I have in library. I like the fuels and water sections, also intake testing with cheap tools. bruce v.

    water injection to gas engines

    Hint: The water droplet size at time of fuel ignition is my area of study. If in a pure vapor or large droplet form the effect will not occur. Power loss and emissions go up per the SAE tests. Possibly a water in oil emulsion with droplet size corrected is key. I am banking on getting it right...

    water injection to gas engines

    Remain open to possibilities. The Graneau-Graneau exploding water experiments show a sudden reduction in H2O-H2O cohesion. No steam is generated. How many labs are currently studying this phenomena? I know of at least four. Could an internal combustion engine act as a catalyst for the process?

    charge cooling

    I have heard of LIQUID propane being injected upstream for use as charge cooling. PWM control with a tfe valve. The stuff looks blue. Problem is its only good for drags. The tank freezes up and discharge pressure drops to zero.
