I note (from the patent) that Cornish runs a 500
cc
motorcycle engine on his hydrogen.
Normal consumption at full trottle would be 250
cc per
revolution. Actual consumption is 1 liter
per minute.
Now if the revolutions are 1000 RPM this is 1cc
per rev.
That is 1/250th of normal full trottle Consumption
or
1/25th of 1/10th throttle normal consumption.
Lets see how this compares to Peter Lowrie's consumption.
Peter is producing About 5 liters per minute.
His Honda engine is 1600 cc.
This is 800 cc per rev.
Consumption at 1000 rpm should be 800,000 cc or
800 liters per
minute.
At 1/10 throttle this would be 80 liters per minute
He is producing about 1/16 of this.
The difference between the two is a ratio of 1.5625
Cornish being about 2/3 of what Peter Lawrie is
operating on.
Allowing for the fact that Cornish is producing
only
hydrogen and using the oxygen in the air, the
two are almost
identical.
How can they both be getting this efficiency?
The e-gas fuel when burned is like a two edged
sward. Both
sides can be used. If the collaps to water after
the shock
explosion is also used, the power out would be
approximately
doubble.
Consider this as to how it is possibly done:
The cams can be changed to doubble lobe to make
the
engine two cycle. The timing can be set at a time
"T" befor
bottom dead center. The exhaust valve would be
locked closed.
Engines with waist spark are now desirable because
the other
spark will be used in the 2 cycle mode.
The time "T" is the time after initial explosion
that the
implosion occures. This can be measured with a
high speed
camera on a baloon that has had a very small amount
of gas
locked in. Two wires in a cork in the neck
of the baloon
can be fired with high voltage, with the
camera running.
If time "T" is mechanically locked in on the rotation
of
the shaft the motor will have to be run at a constant
speed. Very good for AC power generators as you
require a
fixed speed. Electronic timing would alow the
speed to be
varied. A small resivoire must be provided to
catch the
water. This can be drained in betwen runs.
The valves may have to be modified to ball valves
or the
spring at least be made stiff enough that they
would not
open under a complete vacuum,
With this theory little or no water vapor is wanted
in the fuel
mixture. No air is wanted either.
