For a Gillier Pantone engine, we can assume that during the few milliseconds of travel between the outlet of the reactor and the combustion chamber of the engine, we are in the presence of a mixture of dry vapor and a few myriads of tiny droplets of 'water. (evaporation is not instantaneous)
Having no idea how many and how big these droplets are, it would be interesting to find a way to at least change the droplet size, to find out if that size matters, and plays a role in performance. fuel saving / pollution.
One of the possible ways will be to modify the surface tension of the water which is introduced into the reactor, knowing that the characteristic size of the water drops depends on the capillary length.
Capillary length = square root of (Surface tension / (Density * acceleration of gravity))
This can be achieved by adding an emulsifier to water, for example.
Hence the following test with Carrouf "Brillant" dishwashing liquid of the stated composition: 5% amphoteric surfactants; 15-30% Anionic surfactants; also methylchloroisothiazolinone, benzisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, perfumes.
Dishwashing liquid is diluted to 1% and heated in a pot on the stove. As long as the temperature of the pan does not exceed 100 ° (boiling) no problem, evaporation takes place without deposits.
After 100 ° quickly, a small yellowish foam forms then it quickly turns to black brown before 200 °. So it doesn't fit. The walls of the reactor rise from 300 to 500 ° or more and the water is no longer able to dissolve this deposit afterwards, so the reactor will end up clogging with the deposits.
We would therefore have to find a product which lowers the surface tension of the water, which can evaporate completely, and which of course would degrade during combustion without polluting ...
Come on, we need some suggestions !!
