Keith, I regret that I haven't been able to spend much time lately on my hydroboost experiments. Usually this time of year I devote to building computer systems for kids who can't ordinarily afford one. A noble project, but it takes up a good deal of time which is why I wait until the cold weather months to do so. Also been doing some remodling work on "this old box." If you know what I mean. I hope to redesign my system beggining around March of this year (Not too far off!!) and will definately keep you guys posted on any progress/regress on the subject. I want to try out some graphite rods as electrodes. Seems plausible to me. They shouldn't get mushy like I heard may happen with using carbon, although I have not tried that material myself. Graphite that I plan to use is the kind in the high tech arrows used in archery these days. What the heck? I having heard anyone shoot(Get it, arrow... shoot...) this thought down yet. (This is where someone can chime in and kill this idea at will.) So, I'm eager to give it a shot.
The idea you mentioned of using the "boost" in conjunction with an injection system is something that I plan to do. You can read minds. I better start scrambling my thoughts before you obtain ALL my good secrets. :) I'll try the water injection first, see what that does for me and then I'll get to the alcohol stage after that. I have made 190 proof before. It's always been my philosophy that some if some is good, and more is better, then TOO much has to be just right. Anyway, it works with beer and women and other things too fierce to mention. You know you have hit the "semi-Big-Time" when you are featured at the top of Tony's shine still page!!
