a kilo of steam even at 200c will not influence the 250kg of air at room temperature.
the kilo of water you talk about is what you add through your pantone system to the 250 kg of air swallowed by the engine
in these 250 kg of air, there is already more or less vapor depending on the T ° and the RH present of the ambient air
for 250 kg, this can range from 1 kg (if air at -10 ° C and 50% RH) to approx. 22 kg (if air at 30 ° C and 80% RH)
in your case (more often cold) that makes you 2 kg of water (pantone included) compared to the 250 kg of air
in the possible improvements to your level it would not be precisely to create the 2nd scenario: 30 ° C and 80% RH
and knowing that if you only heat the intake air without humidifying it, your air will be at
30 ° C and approx. 4% RH (from -10 and 50% RH taken at random)
so you need to add a very large bubbler which passes all the intake air and which should then consume
21 liters of water per 100 kmfor info: in this case you would be in the same scenario as Zac in Reunion: warm atmosphere and above all

There must be a relationship with the relative humidity of the air swallowed by the engine, for a long time I believed that the poor performance in winter came from cold air, but even by heating the air the performance improves weakly, this is one of the reasons that I stopped making measurements in cold weather.
l, summer it is sometimes over 30c and the air is humid in stormy weather, the yield is good, but it was in spring and autumn that I did my best results, temperatures
around 22c to 25c.
Now if we consider only, the entry of humid air into the engine What we send with the reactor and a negligible amount, both in air than in vapor, compared to the wet air swallowed.
more whatever the outside temperature and relative humidity
the water consumption which brings a good yield is always around 1 liters of water.
If it is mainly the electrification of steam there must be some other method of doing it.
it must also be established that the efficiency varies as a function of the electrification measure measured on the reactor outlet pipe
What I measured is in AC in millivolts, on the DC reading, nothing significant, the measurements are variable and difficult to use to assert, that when they are at their highest, that the performance is better.
I would have expected something more palpable ... not millivolts.
If it were simply that the humid air entering the engine made changes, we would have observed differences depending on the weather conditions, driving in the fog would save 30%, driving in the desert and we would have an overconsumption. I think we have to look elsewhere why we have a gain with so little water and why we cap around 30% despite the inaccuracies of the measurements of each assembly.
(currently what annoys me is not being able to exceed 32% when you can no longer increase the yield
you ask yourself questions, if we have reached the limit of the system ..)
Some believe that it is easy to measure, but measuring a variant from 30% to 32% requires repetition to make sure that there are no other parameters that have influenced, we are talking about making a minor modification on 2% difference must be checked to see if the modification has made a gain
Currently on the Chevrolet gasoline I try over a longer period to pass only water vapor
I simply blocked the air inlet of the bubbler which is heated at the exhaust therefore the vapor which is made in the bubbler can only go into the reactor and the engine, but we are in winter so the results are a take with reserves especially on the petrol engine the yields are not as good as on diesel.
