Well, I can tell you that a small two cycle engine will *not* run on charged water. That test was almost comical. The little bugger runs fine on nitromethane/oil fuel; but, the addition of just a few drops of "charged water" and oil chokes the engine. This one uses a 1.5 VDC glow plug for starting. The test truck was involved in a chain reaction accident on I-75 which also involved a white Scion xB like mine. Tom thought it *was* me in the Scion. The truck's frame was warped. We were looking at how to install the hydrobooster in Brady's SAAB and realized that he has an O2 detector at the intake (duh!). A little research showed that if you don't trick out the detector, you might actually see a *decrease* in mileage as the computer enriches the gasoline flow with increased O2. The alternative is to collect only the H2; but, then, that defeats the purpose of testing charged water, right? Brady is considering a way to bypass the detector for the test. Using a fixed resistor makes it difficult to start according to him. Meanwhile, I, who had given up flying (having traveled the globe as an electronics salesperson), was coerced into taking on a project with the Chicago Transit Authority. They are buying $1B in new AC propulsion trains and our engineering expert on trainline communications *died* at 58 years. Seems Bombardier (a word you don't say on an airplane :-), the successful contractor, is proposing using Internet Protocol to control the trains. Raliroads generally are adverse to innovation. At the same time, my MARTA project came off hold. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. When it rains it pours. But, you seem to already know that. ;-) Terry
