Hi Supergod, I'm write behind you, I think D13.pdf says it all, and will be building as soon as I can source a few more parts. Keep me posted how you get on.

Got the plasma plugs ordered, now it's just a matter of waiting for good weather and my next paycheck so I can get the engine in running order.  First thing is to get it turning over on gas.  I have a camcorder, so it's time to post a video, once the weather is good and the engine is ready, you'll all get a video!  =D

Getting ready to run the engine, weather finally cleared.  Gonna start in a week or too once I get money (didn't get paid this week =( )  Gonna get that video camera working too.

Hi Super God, I will be following your progress with interest.  Question, is there any website that covers this in-depth, apart from the Yahoo group?  I would rather not join another Yahoo group as my mailbox is inundated with post notifications as it is...  I pulled a pdf off of some site but it doesn't really explain the theory behind it, more a how-to guide.  It also mentions that no one other than 's1r9a9m9' has managed to reproduce the setup - is this still the case?

I believe Paul Zigouras from the yahoo group has had a little success with it.  I don't know the whole story though.  The basic idea is you create a (bigger) plasma by ionizing the path between the two spark plug electrodes, the low voltage high current half rectified ac flows through the ionized path along with the high voltage from the distributor volts.  The resulting spark somehow causes the water to expand rapidly and very quickly.  The amount of energy released related to the amount of energy put in, but Paul did some tests and says it's overunity energy from somewhere.  If water will not run it alone, then a little hydrogen should help.

Got the parts ordered:
an inverter, bridge rectifier, some 600v diodes, and a few coils.  Recipe for success I say.

Yes,  I believe Paul got 300 rpm with his water explosion engine with just a higher voltage to the plug (less than 90kv).  This is very encouraging indeed.  The distributor's clamp doesn't seem to want to budge at the moment, I'll have to figure that out so I can adjust the timing.  The parts haven't arrived yet.  I've been working on a way to attach the wires to the plugs and I found that a 5/8" hose clamp will do nicely for the base of the plug and some stranded lamp wire wrapped around the top electrode should connect with the plug wire snuggly.  So far so good!

Watch out for coronal discharge from the lamp wire.  Pulsing HV on wire with some kinds of insulation can produce some unexpected effects.  I have used lamp wire for High Intensity Discharge lamps, and it worked fine, so maybe nothing to worry about, but still, you might want to observe the engine in the dark to see if st. elmo's fire is creeping across the engine block (it looks really cool).  Also watch out for melting insulation.  If <when> ;) you get the thing running, it might be a good idea to swap in some proper high voltage wire, for peace of mind.

The relay has nothing to do with it.  Only the coil.  The hv voltage ionizes the path between the plug electrodes and the lv flows through that creating a huge spark.  So, I think I may just solder the damn wire on the base of the plug for now until I can find some spring clamps that would be suitable.  I'll do that today probably.

Still working out bugs, the spark seems to be shorting out through the full wave rectifier I used.  I get a normal spark when nothing but the ground is connected to the base of the plug, however, when I connect it to my rectifier, even through the coil it shorts out to the positive.  Half wave rectification may be the only way to go, unless I use two full wave rectifiers maybe.  My inverter is junk, it didn't put out ANY voltage when I got it.  Would anyone be willing to donate an inverter ;)  Haha!  I'll use two full wave rectifiers instead of one to see what I get.

Got that problem fixed, but now the 110 seems to be going back into the auto coil through the distributor.  When I turn the 110 on, there is no more spark.  The plug is essentially being shorted out.  Need to order more diodes.  Once I get the blue spark I need I will video it.  Also, I may need the help of an electronics guru for an inverter idea I have.  Why not replace the coil with a hv supply and 110 in a single unit with a common ground?  That would be portable for the newer model cars, maybe add a megasquirt module to control timing on the newer cars.  Just a thought for after I get this going.  =)
