Hi, According to http://www.joecell.com.au/alexbook.html :-
"For the initial start up from the Joe cell, an Aluminium V8 motor will not require any modifications apart from a change in timing as described in the previous sub-section. Other motors will require a varying time of " conditioning " before being finally ready to run on the Joe cell. Then you will have to change the ignition timing as described." Note that in an Al cylinder the reaction:- Al-27 + Hy -> Mg-24 + He-4 + 1.6 MeV may be possible, whereas in a steel cylinder the much higher central charge on the Fe atom effectively reduces the likelihood of many fusion reactions with the iron to very low levels such that only extremely severely shrunken hydrinos have a chance. IOW they need to hang around in the engine much longer before they are small enough, which may explain why steel engines require more conditioning. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
