...maybe the 30% is because they are producing some Hydrinos. IOW without Hydrino production they might be even less efficient. ;) > >The cynic might suggest that microwave input is not going to make much >difference even with fuel and the "microwave mower" is delusional.

A small helium or argon addition would be interesting. Yes, there is already about 1% Argon in the air, but I don't think Argon is a very good catalyst, so there probably isn't enough. Also, in a normal spark ignited engine, the spark current might be too low to produce many ions, but you are correct, there should be plenty of water vapor, and but perhaps not enough Hydrogen? That could be where microwaves would make a difference. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
