They say that there is nothing new under the sun. This applies to exploding water systems. Back in the 1960’s Joe Papp used the wet chlorinated water formula to blast a crater into the hardpan desert floor of the California desert.
Engineering is the art of turning disadvantage to your fullest advantage. Joe Papp did this by amplifying the explosive nature of the wet cluster process to drive a piston. Joe was after explosive pressure increase and not heat production and wet clusters gave him that in abundance. When dielectric gases like oxygen and chlorine and some other noble gases are added to hydrogen, you get an unstable, hard to control and explosive mix which is great for a pressure based internal explosion discharge engine. Those like Mills who want to use water in their wet cluster based mix should look to other explosion based engineering solutions based on short wavelength light. This technology was seen from another guy who used EVU light to produce exploding nano clusters. http://www.google.com/patents/US3977191 Atomic expansion reflex optics power optics power source (aerops) engine US 3977191 A This is a sealed system engine power source which has no exhaust nor intake ports. The engine includes a spherical hollow pressure chamber which is provided with a reflecting mirror surface. A noble gas mixture within the chamber is energized by electrodes and work is derived from the expansion of the gas mixture against a piston. Vortex discussed this engine back in 2010. This engine is an example of how extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) can be used to explode nano-crystals to produce plasma expansion. The same principle of nanoparticle explosion can be used in a catalyzed water vapor based system as demonstrated by Papp. In the EUV portion of the spectrum (wavelengths shorter than about 30 nm) nearly all materials absorb strongly, making it difficult to focus or otherwise manipulate light in this wavelength range. Telescopes such as TRACE or EIT that form images with EUV light use multilayer mirrors that are constructed of hundreds of alternating layers of a high-mass metal such as molybdenum or tungsten, and a low-mass spacer such as silicon, vacuum deposited onto a substrate such as glass. Each layer pair is designed to have a thickness equal to half the wavelength of light to be reflected. Constructive interference between scattered light from each layer causes the mirror to reflect EUV light of the desired wavelength as would a normal metal mirror in visible light. Using multilayer optics it is possible to reflect up to 70% of incident EUV light (at a particular wavelength chosen when the mirror is constructed). High EUV reflectivity is one reason that Mills uses molybdenum in his system. If Mills ever does turn a buck with his “new”? invention, he will need to run a gantlet of patent challenges from open source advocates based on the many patented exploding water systems that have been demonstrated in the past.
