And maybe it will be usefull for some people, if you upload it in this theme in this forum (post here link where to download). Nope, that wouldn´t be very kind to the author of the book. If anyone else wants the Truax book they should buy it, it only costs a couple of bucks anyway. www.canosoarus.com/10X1Skycycle/Skycycle04.htm |

It seems that I made wrong nozzle (if I want run my engine on 40 bar pressure). The reasons: I think before that water all converting into steam in a nozzle. And also I supposed that tank pressure is dropping linear to atmospheric pressure during the run. Was founded that it drops by function that can be seen on fig.3 in Truax book.

I have an interesting crazy idea: what will be if we mix water with C2H5OH . It have lower latent heat of vaporization. So maybe it can be able to easier transforming itnto steam.
And also it have critical point in 243 celsius and 63 bar!
I think that is interesting idea and on it is worth considering.

A while back I considered filling the steam rocket with gasoline and add an augmenter with a spark plug after it, should have been an interesting sight. =)

But in this case it wont be so cheap as water rocket))) And also I think about propane butane bottle. It have approximately 8 bar in 20celsius!!!!!!!! So what pressure can it have with 100 celsius!? I thoght about it many times ago but didnt give any meaning for this idea))) Not because its so crazy but because its cost.
What is it augmenter? My transletor cant translate this word.

And gasoline, I heared, can detonate if pressure will be wery high.

I have a question about corrosion: do your bottle have any corrosion ( of course inside of the bottle))) )?

I can't help but think of death and severe burns when I read this thread. LMK when and where testing will be! I'll buy the beer, hell, I'll buy the whole damn bar!
