Please can anyone explain the theory a bit further?
I think it was explained before that the water was to be super heated and expand to do the work. This I do not fully comprehend.
I do not wish to appear to be a “nay sayer” so I must have missed something.
Normal spark ignition supplies about 135mj per spark, so you are piggy-backing the extra energy.
My concerns are:
How much extra energy is needed to get water to explode? Usually 2,600j / 1cc water.
What charge time will be needed for the capacitor? Can it charge faster than it is needed?
And,
The water will not be used as a fuel, it will be converting the electrical energy into heat and pressure. Does the electrical energy far out way the mechanical gain.

I haven't overlooked your post, i just wanted to get it installed first. Piggy back would be a good way of describing it. Sounds like you understand this process well. A simple charge to a capacitor and thats enough to explode water, "i proved that to myself already." The question is, Can the Plug handle the required charge and if it can, can it also handle it when dry. This must be tested on a car in real time so this is why i delayed you. The circuit is capable of blowing chunks of metal from the plug inside the cylinder, so you can kinda see what i'm trying to say here. I must test this on a bench and make sure this will not happen once in the cylinder. Then i must make sure the plug will allow me to turn the power up enough to explode the water, which is about 250 volts at full capacitor discharge.
So, no debre in the engine, and must blow up water, will it work? Its time to "tune" and find out if the spark plug will work, or if it needs replaced.
