(quoted from post at 18:43:20 06/04/15) I am thinking about adding water injection to my MH44 EFI. people have done it with the same controller. The OLD engines had water injection for added performance and detonation prevention. I would inject when the engine is under high load.

Precious Metal, P-51 Mustang racer makes well over 3000 HP with the help of water injection, helps it to get more Oxygen.
(quoted from post at 09:14:52 06/05/15) Well I guess that the scientist that figured out that pure water was 2 Hydrogen molecules bonded to one Oxygen had his head in the
sand! Oh well! Now whether or not it functions in the process described, I couldn't tell you, but it works and since it's there, why not!

(quoted from post at 05:34:36 06/05/15) This past winter I finished a 1/35 scale model of the PBY-5. Have it hanging from the ceiling in my "rec room". Read the rescue story of one saving what was left of the crew of the Cruiser Indianapolis; quite a story. I have that model to build when the weather takes a turn for the worse again. I just think the plane is neat for what it was designed to do. Didn't one spot the enemy's fleet prior to the Battle of Midway and inform our guys?

How does anybody get out of high school without knowing that water is oxidized hydrogen . Similar to carbon dioxide after burning carbon, ashes after burning firewood or rust as iron combines with oxygen.
Can you make water, carbon dioxide , ashes or rust "burn" ?
Anybody that thinks water will burn or support combustion needs to give thier head a shake. Any idea why we use water to extinguish fire?

Good ole reliable B&D. How to win friends and influence people. How to take some possible knowledge and present it in such a manner that persuades everyone that it can't possibly be true. Can You say "Dale Carnegie"? I don't know how Precious works. I do know that water cools. I know that cooler air is more dense which means there is more O2 entering the combustion chamber. I know that Precious uses EFI at the throttle body. I know that the water is not being directly injected, but that it is being used to cool the intake air thus getting more O2 into the combustion chamber. So go down to Kissimee and straighten them out. The race is coming up soon.
(quoted from post at 16:50:00 06/05/15) KC 135 Jet Aircraft used it for takeoffs back in the '60's for added thrust and when mixed with their jet fuel made a horrible blackish smoke. When they practiced their "alert" take offs, one per 30 seconds, by the 4th aircraft you couldn't see the runway.
(quoted from post at 02:26:25 06/06/15) So was the old mechanic right, water injection is used for a short time to get a burst of power?
(quoted from post at 19:22:42 06/05/15) David,
An airplane mechanic during WW2 said water injection boosted the hp in fighter planes, but only for a short time. It was used only as a last resort to get out of the way of the enemy planes. It may double the hp briefly, then it could take a long time to get the engine temps back to normal, at which time you had better have gotten away or shot the other guy down.
I've never tired it. This is what an old timer told me. If he is wrong, don't blame me. Can't ask him either, he passed last month.

Water injection:On reciprocation engine aircraft it was called ADI or Anti Detonation Injection.A 50:50 mix of water and methanal.The meth.raised the octane and kept the water from freezing at altitude.The water helped to lower combustion chamber temp.
In jets the fluid could be added at the air inlet,into the combustion cans or aft of the turbines.It wouldn't be added to the fuel directly.
