Abstract
The water-arc reaction is a fairly new technology that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using pure, distilled water as the transmission medium. To produce a reaction, a high-voltage power circuit is used to charge a pulse-discharge capacitor. A firing switch completes the circuit between the capacitor and the water-arc reaction chamber, causing a large current to surge through the water. The water apparently absorbs the energy previously stored in the capacitor, and releases it in the form of kinetic energy by rapidly ejecting out of the reaction chamber
