By using water as fuel, the disadvantages of using
hydrogen or gaseous and
liquid hydrocarbons in known
combustion engines are avoided. In the invention, the conversion of water into
hydrogen and
oxygen takes place solely within the
combustion chamber of the
combustion engine. As shown in Fig. 1, the water is conveyed from the tank (1) to the high-pressure pump (2) and pumped through an electrically insulated line (3) to an injection
nozzle (4). The
combustion chamber (10) consists of a cylinder (5) and, at its front, a
cylinder head (6) with valves (7), an injection
nozzle (4), and a
glow plug / heating coil (9), as well as an opposing movable
piston (8). The electrically insulated injection
nozzle (4) located at the top is positively charged and charges the flowing water with a positive
voltage. A high
negative voltage is applied to the rest of the
combustion chamber. In the
combustion chamber, the upward movement of the
piston creates gas compression with high temperature and
high pressure.Into this
atmosphere, the injection nozzle, controlled at very
high pressure, injects positively charged water, which then evaporates. As soon as this vapor comes into contact with the rest of the combustion chamber, a current begins to flow, splitting the water molecules into
hydrogen and
oxygen. The
glow plug / heating coil (9) then ignites the
oxygen / hydrogen mixture, causing it to explode, which pushes the
piston downwards (expansion cycle), thus enabling mechanical work to be performed.
