The Glow Plug

heat is required

I would like to know your specific experiences.

Heat is necessary for the proper reactions.

Even without glow plugs, you can run the engine on propane first for
example, then switch over. It isn't any more complicated than that.
Just get it up to temp on a conventional fuel first.

Very interesting!

Just glow plug and air? So for 15 minutes, no chance to be running
off of fuel fumes coating cylinder wall, etc...? I wouldn't guess so for
15 minutes.

Do you know what materials the glow plug were made of?

Yeah Aaron, Highly unlikely stored fuel in engine components. I wondered about that as well. But not for 15 minutes.The thing was only about 1cc. Model engine Glow plug is platinum coil. Catalytic reaction makes plug glow after power removed. Hotter they get, the more reactive. I imagine the plug or cylinder head or combination was hot enough to cause water vapor in air to explode. The thing did not slow down until it seized up from overheating. But I gotta tell u man. It did not smell good. There were some serious oxides being created. But try it out when u get a chance. Tape it and put it on the youtube.

tutanka says he needed a glow plug for his engine to run on air/water.

OK? Cool. Tutanka is a clever guy. Check out his engine. first post ionization thread. That is cool ****.

Yep, a beautiful design. Tutanka and group says they can run any engine on air/water mist. Thats the interesting part of their invention.

They said back on February 6th, 2010 that it would take a few weeks to get their design info out. Its now 10 weeks later and we still don't have any info on their claims. Unknown how much longer, or if their invention will see the light of day.
