Cruez Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'd like to see it in action... http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060227/FREE/302270007&SearchID=73237677872210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedWild Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Awesome idea, I wonder how hard it is on the pistons. Going from hot/cold that fast, that often. Also in the article he talks about using distilled water and that is not too cheep right now either. 94-octane gas is still cheaper than Eva water.

Phantom Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Not a problem. I've got my own still and I'm making distilled water for about 25 cents/gallon. The problem is that I can oly make about 3-4 gallons/day so it would limit the range a bit. :burnout:Not to mention the fact htat my wife would get upset if I started burning her drinking water!

(joke) How hard is it on pistons....going from hot/cold that fast, that often? I would guess, just about the same as a regular 4 stroke. Cold fuel/air coming in and hot ignition/ exhaust, every four cycles! I would think since the six stroke engine runs at a much cooler overall temperature, the thermo shock would actually be less than in a 4 stroke. Hmmmmmmmm!!?

Guest norm[T12SDSUD] Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Great article.There are people already using alcohol and water injection on their Turbo cars now to cool things down a bit. The 6 stroke idea is definitely a new one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabeRoc Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 the water isn't really an issue. Reverse Osmosis will very cheaply produce distilled quality water, but for his application i think softened water would be sufficient. Small softeners are also inexpensive and could be made portable with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 thats actualy pretty cool and i would imagine thermal shock wouldnt be much of an issue because it never really gets super hot if he can run it for an hour and still be able to touch it thats impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
