Whilst basically sound, I think the issue is also to do with where in the RPM range you would be cruising. If an RPM speed for the engine was much closer to idle when cruising, more foot-down would...
Hi Jankovig,
Unfortunately, it was much worse than just my fuel injector. I replaced the injector only to find that the original was fine and am now looking at finding the money to buy a new ECU...
DV,
Before you give up completely, and I do know how you feel (just read my thread), try going through RadGenH2O's channel on youtube. He got good results using 3.5 LPM at a 40 amp draw with just...
Well, it seems that I managed to blow up my number one fuel injector today, all by putting a multimeter on it. Looks like I will need to find another way of measuring fuel if this kind of tap is...
Today hasn't been a very good day, after spending the past days working on code to read pulse widths and translate them into frequency and duty cycle I hit a wall today when trying to interface with...
Hmm... why choose a jet over a piston...
The first thing that springs to mind is that the energy of the jet is applied directly where as with a piston engine, the force is applied through the...
Nice result, frank!
Do you have any figures from the test you could post?
The power required in watts is still the same, however you twiddle the voltage.
I'm having issues with the digital potentiometer sample that Maxim sent me, they just don't seem to want to work as designed. These are step up / step down type devices and I'm thinking that an I2C...
As Stu pointed out, you have a short somewhere, possibly even inside your cell between the plates.
I fixed the misfire issue this morning by putting a single diode between the AC live from the outlet and the coil. Now it fires every time, even at high frequency.
I suppose that the oil, as well as providing less friction, also increases the air pressure seal around the pellet.
I do have a PSI gauge from an air compressor, that might be a good avenue!
I use SS in my cell, however, most modern engines contain aluminum parts.
Stu,
When I have my misfire issue sorted, I plan to design and build a test rig that will allow me to measure the exerted force from the plasma water explosion. Not decided how I am going to do...
Stu,
What is the ratio of CO2 produced vs. CO2 consumed in production per gallon of algae oil? It would be great if mainstream use of this fuel could fix our current pollution levels whilst...
I just posted a new video showing my plasma spark system running at high frequency, both with and without water mist and with and without a high tech UV shield (pair of sunglasses) over the camera...
NaOH will also eat aluminum.
Stu,
I personally want to save money while saving our environment.
I agree the algae is very promising, however, we should also consider that it is still a hydrocarbon and will still produce...
I think we should also consider peoples individual motives for choosing a hydrogen fuel source:
Is it:
A) To reduce the cost of fuel production and hence each mile they drive.
Or:
B) To...
MMW is ok as a comparison, other than the big variations brought on by temperature differences. For MMW to be a valid 'apples to apples' comparison, temperature of the GAS needs to be measured and...
My diodes arrived yesterday, so this morning I finished setting up my plasma circuit and used two small brass nails as electrodes. Here is a full diagram of my plasma system, for those who are...
Yup, the ones that are designed to fully discharge?
If the amp rating was higher, they would most likely be useful.
What I do need, if you have any or know of a good cheap source, are some AC capacitors around the 220 volts and up circa 200-300...
I just ordered some 1N5408's the other day, they are 1000v 3a. I'll be using about 10 of them in series to get the kind of isolation the circuit needs. Basically, the diodes are there to stop the...
