New Boiler Nozzle Concept for the CFX RTR!!

- Testing out a new Nozzle concept that boils off the water and injects the steam into the nozzle. The idea is to increase run time and make the machine more eficient. The more steam that is injected the more H2 that is produced and less nitrogen that is allowed in to delute the gas energy density. Todays run was actually pretty impresive, but unfortunatly the nozzle clogged a little half way through the run and there was around 45 minutes where there was no flow. The machine ran for 2 hours and 45 minutes this is actually very good as 2 hours has been the typical run time. I think if the clog did not develop it could have easily made 3 1/2 hours.
I cut the nozzle apart and removed the gunked up wick and rebuilt it. I will test again and do a follow up video with the results.
Great work from Muskegon! Heated H2O leads to lots of corrosion. Stainless steel for the long term likely helpful, but of course expensive.
Its a prototype production version will be stainless along with water tank and a few other components since will be stocking SS sheet.
I suspect that letting the water drip into the air intake duct is most effective. It doesn't clog anything, evaporates immediately and is then sucked in, which leads to a significant increase in performance.
That is what this is replacing its already proven its far supperiour. 2 liters of water was the max with evap drip. this can process 4 ltrs and that is a big deal because this make it more efficient than a wood fuel gasifier. The clogs are from rust from the steel. The solution is switching the SS.
Not to mention it did fix the flow with exception of the rust and the clogging. But we can fix that so that dont happen.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid I had a water hose on mine. It was directly heated through a copper coil I wound around the core which was reduced to a small dripping.
It was an immense increase of power to the engine.
Unfortunately I had to stop my gasifier works since my e-filters clogged up so fast that I have to find a new method or better a cleaner burn.
@@ravelkoff3549 Are you doing this with a wood fueled gasifier? With charcoal you only need to clean the dust out. That little ammo box with the scrubby pads works great!! Believe me Ive tried all sorts of crazy and very complex systems for wood fueled systems. Its not worth the complexity. Charcoal is by far supperiour technology and we are going make it better more useful than wood fueled systems.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid Yepp. I had the imagination being able to combine wood drying, coking and gasification in one machine. Bad idea to try this in downdraft mode ;)
There is a complex updraft type which is able to. But up to today I found no time to begin with.
Stanley Meyer eat your heart out!
Innovative idea. Great work....
This one was a group discution so not totally my idea. But had thought of this for long time. Just decided to give a try. So far its showing a great deal of promise.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid Let me know how the follow-up run goes. I drained the water out of ours for the winter when it was brand new and it was like brown mud coming out of the tank. I'm guessing the tank was contaminated to begin with. Hope you do a follow up video. Thanks for the show !
@@nhhbbyloggr5022 Nope that is normal you do have to flush the tanks from time to time. You can add motor oil to the water it will add a layer on a top and coat the walls as the water is consumed. If you dont drain it out complete it will stay in there. Just add more water and it will creat that top again and repeat
@@nhhbbyloggr5022 If I go to this new style jet, we will build it and the water tank out of SS :( I hate stainless steel especially plasma cutting it. It sucks to clean up the edges after cutting. But it will be worth it, this test after I was able to evaluate is showing some pretty big promise. This is probably one of the biggest break throughs in small scale systems Ive ever seen. The good news for you is your machine has the 1 -1/4" input coupler so you can upgrade or make one yourself. I think with the wick being removed it will be fine.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid I seem to remember you up grading the injection nozzle deeper into the charcoal to get a more even burn ( the older type nozzle ) Does this new idea extend further into the coal bed, too? What is the OAL of the pipe? Also is your new upgrade feeding water into the pipe through the side or bottom ? Great idea . The old style was a bit finicky so this seems to be a winner.
