not sure how you are going to make the peroxide and mesh work....
Will you be injecting the mesh into the cylinders while it's spinning 14,500 rpm?
Sure, those are the ingredients for a very simplistic reaction, which actually HAS been used with a nozzle to produce rockets with thrust.... But I'm still unclear how you'll be using this, as well as lots of other things you've listed...

once again
I am in know way shape or form claiming to be the smartest best fastest......There are alot of people on here with vast knowledge......We are all tinkerers
For the Guy that made the comment of muffler bearings...........Guess what there are actual linear bearings that contol the expansion contraction of the stinger and pump nozzle.......Who would have ever thought........Fuel delivery......micro cylinder/ piston/ water= high compression direct fuel injection. Crank Case/Cylinder are made from solid 7075. To much porosity in cast aluminum.....thats what produces cracks under heat/vibration/compression. No to take away from Skat Trak....Ken Stewart has helped me through the years......Skat simply does not have the machine capability to produce a solid titanium pump........they are cast. The entire motor has been keenserted....not helicoiled.....helicoils are unstable under heat. Inconnel was used for its stability under high heat, its super tough and super hard......unlike titanium. tough... not hard.....and not much harder than cold roll steel. The Cylinder head is girdled.......8 point, using hardend hastelloyX studs and nuts.
Keep in mind this ski is completly expiermental. It is 3 months from finish

Guys this is one of those people that has the knowhow and equipment to do shiot that you wish you could do,you have all seen the you tube videos of the minature blown small block chevy engine.This is something along that line of engineering from what I gather.He is apparantly making every part on this engine from scratch.Although it may not make 212hp it will be some seriously kewl azz one off blinging azz shiot when he is done.I have a few freinds who do stuff like this and it is amazing what they can do with the right equipment ,tooling and lots and lots of free time.

''Hell'' im still waiting on page 2 of the writeup, and you want pics already ! For all you nay sayers , Jonny Cash built a car ''One piece at a time "" at least thats what the song said ! ,,,,,,, Page 2 please ! if you cant load it just rewrite it , man im achin for a good read ! My meager X-2 awaits new plugs for spring and that will at least give me some inspiration to go look out my window at the snow ! BTW will this craft still use the ancient 12-v system to power everything ? if i remember its kind of slow ! I myself am working on a battery ''PATCH ''system , you know ''peel and stick'' that way the guys with total loss wont have to open their hoods to change batteries ! such a PIA on the beach ya know and it will save a lot of weight! just slap it on the hood with your other stickers and your good to go for a week !now where the f$#@ did i put those bandaids with wings i was using for demos ?? honey .... have you seen your pads??..............................

If I had the machinery and finaces, I would make a 1200 cc pure billet engine for my X2.
So instead, I will rape and engine from an 800 SXR or 1100 tripple one day....
Not to bash you but without some proof, I must say this X2 seems like a fairy tale or myth. The cost of manufacturing parts like this makes it unobtainable. Even if you had the machinery, I don't see Lockhead letting you machine a set of case or cylinder.
But i ma still interested. Not saying it isn't possible, just it is not plausible.
BTW, I am an engineer.

Most of he guys I know who are really into this kind of stuff have their own equipment at their houe or shop,that way they can do side jobs and play with the toys all they want t
ne of the guys I know built a working model of a train the he rides in his back yard and he built a scaled down version of Miss Budweiser all out of aluminum,that was some pretty intense fabrication on both of those projects.He now does stuff for the Wright Bros aircraft museum.

As beautiful as the Waterdawg top end is... it still uses a stock cast bottom end.
Don't get me wrong, I think it kicks a$$!
But I want a full billet engine!
BTW those ADA cylinders are sweet too!

I guess he got us...
he never said it was going to be a kawasaki engine, or even anything remotely purchase-friendly from our market.
I still call BS...It'd be neat to see... but that's just it... I'd like to see it...
Words are only words on paper....

He did. I think you can get the whole set up for around 10.5 G's.:bigeyes:
A little expensive for me but it sure is purty!:cool2:
