non flammable gas.. you'd STILL need fuel added to it for it to "burn"

Well it worked, I just thought it was neat that he used a 1.5 volt RC car glow plug. Otherwise I had no idea nor care to how the hell it worked.

Isn't oxygen considered a fuel, not too overwhelming intelligent when it comes to chemistry but I thought adding oxygen would make no2 flammable.

Hmmm did some reading, I really really don't have a clue.

Sorry I brought it up just thought I would add my quirky obsession of RC's into a thread.

N2O is an oxidizer. At higher temperatures it breaks down and gives up it's oxygen atoms. By providing more oxygen, more fuel can be burned, providing more energy or power. I can see how N2O can add to the flames at the exhaust, but it would have to be added after the engine.

The theory seems to work but I don't wont to complicate the setup with nos. I prefer if it worked with spark plugs in the exhaust!

What about rev limiting the engine from the ecu temporary for show? My friend tried it on a kawazaki motor and done about 10min machine gun fire lol!

To create a flame thrower, you need an excessively rich fuel mixture and an ignition source at the end of the exhaust.

I have heard even if you get the kit to work it wrecks your valves because of the sudden backpressure.

yaris-me · 02-14-2009, 06:31 PM

Then don't do it.
