The Archie Blue Carburetor is reported as using moving air through the spaces between the plates (and through holes in the plates) to clean off bubbles that stick to the plates and because they stick diminish the current drawn by the plates.The Charles Garrett modified form carburetor also runs air up between the plates.

As in both my systems Magnetic Stainless Steel is used no sticking of bubbles to the plate is observed and the current does not go down even when air is blown in between the plates.

So another theory is required to explain what this air is doing as it passes between the plates.

                     I propose the following as a Theory

As the amount of gas produced is far below the BTU required to run an IC motor of the given size an explanation of the result could be as follows:

When the explosion of the 2H & O occurs just at TDC the eight to one compression has heated the air in the mixture to a very warm temperature. Then the 2H & O shock wave occurs. It instantly and momentarily further compresses the air to so hot a temperature that any moisture in it is flashed to steam. This steam expands so fast that as the 2 H and O contract back to water (during the implosion) the space is immediately taken up by the expanding steam. This steam continues to expand pushing the piston down through the rest of the power stroke. What the air going through the plates is doing is picking up moisture from the hot electrolyte to increase the humidity to a high level. When the air and gas are run through the cold water in the bubbler the air is dried to just the right level to preform properly when it is compressed in the cylinder.
