Hi Robin, The main problem with that is that every ICE burning any kind of petrol - at the moment following ignition - is completely loaded with hot steam ions under high pressure.
If hydrinos could be made as simply as you suggest - then every car engine should be producing them as a matter of course, and consequently every engine should be more efficient than they actually are. Few exceed 30% The cynic might suggest that microwave input is not going to make much difference even with fuel and the "microwave mower" is delusional. OTOH it would be instructive to see if the addition of another Mills catalyst into a standard ICE would increase efficiency by converting a bit more of the hydrogen into hydrinos. A small helium or argon addition would be interesting. Jones >For many years on Vortex there has been occasional mention of generating and >using microwaves to power an ICE with no fuel - just air.

In that soup, you will find both water molecules and hydrogen atoms. IOW Hydrinos get produced releasing about 200 eV / Hydrino, which is roughly 70 times what is required to split a water molecule. In short this is likely to work best in very warm, humid air or, if you have the skill to set it up, when the ICE runs on steam, with a microwave ignition. The resulting fast particles and UV from the Hydrino reactions further help to create more fuel from water. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
