Abstract
An improved method of powering a Jet or Rocket engine using water as a fuel by separating the hydrogen and oxygen and igniting the hydrogen with high voltage high amperage electricity in the compression/combustion chamber of the engine.
Claims2
A method for fueling a jet or rocket engine with water comprising;
- A. Generating high voltage, high amperage electrical current,
- B. Conveying said current into the compression combustion chamber of said engine via two or more conductors,
- C. Arcing said current across the electrode tips of a multitude of opposing electrode pairs inside said chamber of said engine forming an arc array,
- D. Conveying water from a temperature controlled holding tank into said chamber,
- E. Spraying said water into said arc array with one or more spray nozzles and
- F, Igniting said water with said high voltage high amperage arc causing a rapid expansion of gas volume resulting in thrust.
3 more elements
An apparatus for fueling a jet engine or rocket engine with water comprising;
- A. A high voltage high amperage generator electrically connected to,
- B. One or more high voltage high amperage capacitors or condensers electrically connected to,
- C. A pair of rigid metal conductors inside a compression combustion chamber each having a plurality of electrode tips mirroring its polar opposite with equal air gap spacing to form a multiple electric arc,
- D. A temperature controlled water tank holding water with,
- E. A conduit means for conveying said water to,
- F. One or more water spray nozzles located inside said chamber to focus water spray into said electric arc.
