Probably. >I seem to recall having read that somewhere. From a mechanics >standpoint, I can pretty well safely say that throwing arcs to the block >will not do much....unless they are coming from the coil, in which case, >ignition and timing is all messed up, and mileage is reduced, not increased. This is not a conventionally fueled engine. (IMO it's probably hydrino/fusion based). The fuel itself may comprise a charged gas, which may explain the voltage build up, and the necessity of discharging that voltage occasionally. > >How is this thing supposed to work? That's the $64000 question (or perhaps 64 billion?). ;) (I suggest you check the Vortex archive for lots of theories on how it might work (if at all). See:- http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/ >I read a PDF file about it, but it was >mostly just theory....anything we can build? There is a whole spiel here:- http://www.joecell.com.au/alexbook.html and Joe Cell kits are obtainable here:- http://www.nutech2000.com/category2_1.htm Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
