Thanks Jojo.. Are you currently testing Ni+H2+heat+pressure+sparks? Can you give us an update on your experiments (or do you have a web site/blog?) Care to share your circuit for your SCR spark generator?
Colin: Using a spark plug as a high pressure electric pass-through is possible, but seems like a hack that wouldn't be used except in a crude prototype. I am hoping DGT is beyond that. Maybe a red herring.. or a mistake that shouldn't have been in the released pictures. - Brad On Fri, May 18, 2012 at 5:48 PM, Jojo Jaro <[email protected]> wrote: > Here's some off-the-shelf parts that you can use. > > The CDI Ignition box can connect directly to a spark plug and you can drive > this ignition box with an Ignition Tester.
