But no-one on this forum believes a word of it? (physics be damned)
Or does anyone?

It's mostly bots. They don't have any internal monologue, and thus no inherent belief system.

My understanding is that the constant-speed engine is the easy part. Probably why they focus on generators.

Eh!? Are you saying most users here arent? That 'they' are in fact just bots?

Oh constant rpm opens up ALL SORTS of opportunities for cheap and easy optimization.

The std Urban Cycle shows that car engines are at optimal load and rpm for only a second on 5 separate occasions.
That being the case; light, cheap and simple win out over tuned length etc.

I thought these Thunderstorm things were more for cars than gensets?

ie: Enough H2 (and methane-ish gas) to idle the engine, with std fueling on top of that, where the H2 etc just helped with consumption some.

ie: A cheap, easy way to add a bit of steam reformation without all sorts of control mechanisms?

You can generalize about everyone, but not about anyone.

Thunderstorm Generator JET TURBINE Retrofit | Malcolm Bendall's Plasmoid Technology

I'm ten minutes in so far, the rest appears to be test results. Which is that the percentage of elemental Carbon drops to zero and the elemental Oxygen goes up 17%. I know less about the validity of this than these folks in Australia and the Indian navy, but... I do believe in the power of microscopic torii. This is what the ionizer>bubbler>vajra pipeline does.

It would be interesting to see this technology pipelined through the Noyron software and productized.

The bubbler is not scale invaiant, it needs to make bubbles of a specific size, but the system is scale invariant. The physics of a torus' polar jet is scale invariant.

Plasmoid Power THUNDERSTORM GENERATOR KIT SET | Complete Build and Testing Guide

This is fitted to a Honda 389cc engine. A $3000 item. I's sooner put it onto a Dunn Right air compressor:

Half of a Beetle engine displacement would be 600-800cc. The vajyra needs to be close to the exhaust port so maybe two of them?

I'm finishing the video from post #26; I hadn't watched the test results.

At ?t=2433 there is a text wall with the tuning procedure.

I am doubting the cavitation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation
Cavitation in fluid mechanics and engineering normally is the phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapor pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid.[1] When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called "bubbles" or "voids", collapse and can generate shock waves...

ie: The cavitation seen on a boat propeller for eg is due to the pressure being (locally) decreased to the point where the water 'flash boils' at whatever temperature it happens to be at.

The implosion after is a result of a near instant increase in the local fluid pressure causing the low temperature steam to 'flash condense' again.

There is NONE of that in a bubbler as the bubble is full of.... shall we say gas.
But most of the gas is just air (bubbles) and that does NOT condense/implode.

"Gas" because IIRC the UV light treatment seems to be downplayed in all the Thunderstorm 'How it works' stuff I have seen?
ie: Photochemistry and the various gasses in air need a good look.
Starting with Ozone. That is known to oxidise HCs and improve combustion etc and forms peroxide when bubbled through water...

Then, as I often see pot scourers :
Fe + H2O = FeO + H2
That goes for other metals too.
And how reactive O3 and H2O2 modifies the above is a question.
But that's Iron as fuel.
I dont know that all gas stations sell pot scourers!?

So ye; talk of cavitation where it's impossible is where my BS alarm rings and I didn't look further.
With the jet engine there is not even pulsed intake pressure fluctuations...

ie: While the Ozone and various reactions are of interest; "Just another Stem Reformer, with whats really going on obfuscated" poped into my head.
Perhaps more misunderstood than obfuscated..?
NB the more total Oxygen in thx to O3...

In fact; even where the AF mixture is introduced seems to be downplayed in the Thunderstorm explanations.
It's before the UV right?
Or is it in the bubbler with the water?
With the std carb used for starting and warmup?

[freebeard]

So many question, and I have no idea.

There is a carburetor, and two air sources. The carb is choked down and ionizer/bubble stack has it's own feed. I don't pretend to understand this completely, it appears to be an enhanced exhaust gas recirculation process.

Well a diagram or video of what's going where is required before one can start to think about the chemistry.

IIRC the Geet has some exhaust gas recirculation and some fresh air, all adjustable with taps.
At least one is sure of the setup: All options covered and adjustable, with much fiddling/tweaking.
(and impossible without constant rpm/load = series hybrid if you want to use it in vehicles)

I would say that one has to get one's head around charge separation during evaporation and condensation to understand any 'magic' here.
Then get out your left/right hand EMF rule out, too see if the said swirl is in fact a possibility in those spheres.
Without a magnetic field acting on charged mist/particles you need a cyclone, to get the geometry required to get such swirl. Else the gas will just take the route of least resistance or the shortest route.
