Awesome, Great minds think alike, eh? :-) Let us know how it goes.
How are you driving your spark plug? I am planning a simple CDI Electronic Ignition Box for a CRRC-Pro 26cc engine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130659127048 This box appears to be connected directly to the spark plug without the need for another ignition coil. The connector is a spark plug cap connector so it must connect directly to the spark plug. The input appears to be a sensor on the flywheel. I suspect a square wave voltage of say 3v would would probably drive the box electronics to fire the spark plug. The CRRC-Pro engine has a max RPM of 9500 and since this engine is a two strike engine, the spark must be firing 9500 time every minute or 158 times per second or 158 hz on the square wave. I suspect this will support firing maybe up to 300 hz or so. I only found 1 paper on the energy released by a spark and it said 2.4 joule/sec per spark. It seems high to me. Does anyone have any idea how much power a spark releases? I am wondering if the sparks would provide enough energy to heat the reactor sufficiently. Could it be that the heat is only needed for ionizing the hydrogen, and since the spark ionizes the hydrogen directly, the raw heat may not be required? or maybe less raw heat is required. Anyone has any ideas on whether sparks would be a great way to create a Rydberg Hydrogen environment?

I have a spark plug in my reactor design to. Not tried it yet though.

I was studying Spark discharges based on the suggestion of a person I have great respect for, and I found this study. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5379213 According to this abstract, spark discharges are an efficient means of producing nascent monoatomic hydrogen. The efficiency of conversion to monoatomic hydrogen appears to be 30 to 40% with a low recombination rate with monoatomic hydrogen still found 40 mm away from the initial discharge. If somebody has access to this paper, please let us know what the entire paper says. Anyways, this got me wondering. Could Rossi be using a spark discharge inside his reactor. The evidence for this appears to be anecdotal. I wonder if he calls this spark discharge his "RF" as some have suggested. With a 30 to 40% efficiency, this appears to be a very efficient and low energy means to supply a steady availability of nascent hydrogen which would already be partially ionized. Could this be the Rossi Catalyst we've been hunting for? Could it be that the electical energy required to maintain the Rossi reaction be the energy to create sparks to provide a constant strean of nascent ionized hyrdogen? This would seem logical cause Rossi seems to insist on using electricity to "heat" his reactor to maintain the reaction. Logic would dictate that a more efficient way to maintain throttling heat would be to divert some of the output heat back to the input, as our dearly departed friend George Hody (Mary Yugo) would say. It seems that Rossi is not doing this because it won't work. He needs "sparks" not raw heat to maintain his reaction. What do you guys think. Is sparking a necessary ingredient for the Rossi formula. Would sparks be an efficient means of creating Rydberg hydrogen atons to create an environment suitable for LENR? If sparks are a necessary ingredient, I have found a very cheap and efficient way to create these sparks - by using a spark plug driven by a CDI electronic ignition box. The rate of spark ignition can be controlled by a cheap function generator. I have incorporated this design into my reactor. I will try this out. In the meantime, I need to hear from smart theoriticians here to see if this research direction makes sense.
