General Discussion Area / FFS Whats Happening?

« on: 03 September 2008, 17:27:02 »

Just heard from the middle of the desert that England has raised the school leaving age from 16 to 17!! Is this for the rest to catch up? Is this to keep pupils off the streets or what? It seems the English form of education is going down the slippery slope. Give it a few years and it will be 20 years old for leaving school FFS. Grump not quite over!

I don't understand how spraying normal water into a fuel mixture will do anything but kill the engine off!

Proper hydrogen gas / fuel cell technology maybe, but water?  

H2o!!

Also a little bit of go from the water turning to steam in the engine

But surely the fact that it's wet and is going towards extinguishing the spark is counter productive?  :-/

It goes in as a fine mist, by the time it reaches the chamber its all but evaporaited away leaving oxygen behind, a little hydrogen (not worth sod all) but the incoming temp of the air flow from the turbo is much cooler - hence denser , so more 02 to burn with the extra fuel...

Jon you have it! Most of the power in an engine is lost through heat. Also the fine spray of water does increase the expansion in the cylinders.
Don't know if anyone has noticed that the cooler and more dense the conditions are, does make a difference to the performance to an engine, any engine.

Nobody has come up with the right answer yet!  
All I will say is that it made a hell of a difference.

Hi! I have just come across this!

http://water4gas.com/2books.htm?hop=rhinovette

Has any body tried it?

I used to use an old windscreen washer motor and pump to spray a fine water mist into the carb of a couple of my sports cars in my boy racer days!! It worked brilliantly when accelerating. I had a small switch attached to the gearstick and activated when needed.

I saw on the TV that all the Olympians are going to be driven around London and their home towns... that would be great to see

The huge Scots fella Chris Hoy what a superstar

Absolutely fantastic achievements from all the GB team.
I know Chris Hoy and his team mate Craig McLean who won a silver in the last Olympics.   8-)

General Discussion Area / Corsa Sunroof Problem!

« on: 04 August 2008, 17:36:48 »

Eh!!! Apart from my Omega in the UK I have a Corsa in Mallorca and a flying jobbie in the UK. The problem with my Corsa is that the full length sunroof has shrunk!! therefore not seating properly up front. It looks like the rubber/vinyl??? roof has dried out. Has anybody any ides about softening/rejuvenating the rubber? Please don't suggest to buy a new one as they are like hens teeth. I have just repaired the electric motor myself as I could not obtain a new/secondhand one. Any suggestions out there? PS Just been reading about varche's Spanish accidents! My Corsa has been hit 4 times with nobody owning up! I would never buy a decent car here!
