Calculations on the Joe Cell based on a 2.4 liter engine at 3,000 RPM shows 0.062 grams/sec evaporated out of the Cell based on a 0.5 Venturi Ejector Effect vacuum pumping. A 12 volt battery delivering 12 amps (144 joule/sec heat input to the cell handles that, plus about 55 joule worth of "Brown's Gas" mixed with the water vapor [H2O + n(OH + H] that can recombine in the combustion cylinder for evaporation and "Brown's Gas" energy recovery. so you might get 144/746 watts or about 0.2 HP for your crankcase fume-battery recharge efforts. Unless you multiply the 0.20 HP by Mf where Mf is the Miracle Factor a number that can range from 0.0 to Infinity. :-) > > (snipped heavily to keep message length > down) > Right.
