[Renegade]

{This came from a listserv that I get. Thought it might be interesting to some here. I didn't see it on their website (http://www.keelynet.com) yet.}





NOTICE

The purpose of this notice is to place into public domain
something which I invented so that it may not be patented and in
order to prevent it's use from being restricted in any way.

The device is an engine in which small quantities of water are
turned into steam by the use of a magnetron (as found in
microwave ovens).

Interested parties may wish to try this test: Place a few drops
of water into a clear plastic 35mm film roll holder and put the
cap on the film roll holder. Place in a microwave oven and turn
the oven on. The 'pop' is the result of the water turning
suddenly into steam.

The engine I have invented is far more efficient than any other
steam engine because of the efficiency of the magnetron in
turning water into steam. In fact, the water droplet 'explodes'
very much like air/gasoline explodes in a conventional internal
combustion engine.

This engine was first tested in 1992. I am however unable to
invest the required capital to produce a more sophisticated
model and therefore unable to patent it. Even though I may not
be able to profit from this technology it is too good to be kept
to myself and I would like to spread it around so that others
may be able to use it.

The following is an outline of how to construct the device and a
few hints and cautions:

PARTS NEEDED:

1. Magnetron from a medium power microwave oven,

2. Small 4 stroke single cylinder lawn mower engine or similar
engine with 'old style' points, and ignition system.

3. Automotive alternator with built-in rectifier and regulator,
also a 12 volt auto battery.

4. 'Trigger' mechanism from an aircraft 'strove' landing light.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. The magnetron fits into the spark plug hole.

2. The distributor points are modified so that the contact is
closed when the piston is at the top dead center and this
contact is used to activate the aircraft strobe mechanism.

3. The high voltage from the strobe is connected to directly
fire the magnetron which in turn produces steam which moves the
piston.

4. The engine turns the alternator which keeps the battery
charged which supplies electrical power for the magnetron.

CAUTION AND TIPS:

WARNING!!!! DANGER!!!!

1. Be careful around the magnetron. KEEP IT SHIELDED WITH METAL.
IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE AND KEEP BURNS THAT MAY NOT BE READILY
VISIBLE WHEN THEY FIRST OCCUR.

2. The 'strobe' trigger delivers a very high voltage which can
jump to ground. WEAR RUBBER SOLED SHOES AND INSULATE WELL.

3. Be sure to modify the distributor points so they close at top
dead center. Timing advance depends on the power of the
magnetron used and the amount of water. Try different carb jet
sizes - drill out if needed.

4. Due to variables, don't expect high engine speeds without a
little experimentation due to variables.

5. Start with a fully charged battery or your alternator won't
work.

6. The energy produced is in excess of the power required to run
the alternator but until you get the RPM up, and they parts
working in harmony, it may be best to use a battery charger
instead of an alternator.

7. An easy way to measure net power output after you have the
alternator on line is to run a few 12 volt lights from the
battery. You will see that the battery stays charged even with
the lights on and the motor keeps on going.

8. Although I have not tried it, the idea of vaporizing water
with microwaves should also work well in a converted turbine.
