<VV> Water Injection Re: Reverse Rotation Cooling

[FrankCB at aol.com]

John,
     Because Sir Harry Ricardo discovered many  decades ago that injecting 
water into a combustion engine allowed higher  levels of boost pressure that 
considerably INCREASED the AVERAGE cylinder  pressure (what engineers call 
BMEP) without increasing the PEAK cylinder  pressure that breaks things.  
And increasing BMEP increases TORQUE which,  in turn, increases HP.  For a 
detailed presentation  (including Ricardo's graph showing these effects) go to:

(http://autospeed.com.au/cms/title_The-H2O-Way-Part-2/A_110213/article.html) 
 
Injected water does a LOT more than simply cool the air/fuel  mix BEFORE it 
enters the combustion chamber.

You never answered my last question, why would you add water to an air  
cooled engine? <G>
