would water vapor burn?

[airdude]

I have a vacuum pump that is used for evacuating A/C systems. At 29.5 inches of mercury, water turns to vapor. With a plasm spark, would it ignite? Anybody have an thoughts?

Or this. The exhasut of my vacuum pump could be routed through a very fine SS mesh electrode. Think electrolysis would occur on the vapor?

I doubt it would. You still have to split the water molecules. Water vapor in itself is not "split".

That is the basic theory of the 'water sparkplug' stan meyer used.

OK, as with a catalytic converter if the mesh of the electrodes were fine enough, would the water vapor be induced to split? Or as Meyers did would a plasma spark be enough to split and ignite?
