Hello all!
I've found a web page that has a collection of random car stories that actually make for some good reading. Some are humourous and some are quite technical. There's one that I keep re-reading though. It's a short account of someone using urea mixed in nitromethane for a top fueler.
Here's the link - These stories are true, strange and funny It's story number 9 - "The Urea Effect"
The intended effect is to fill the combustion chamber with free electrons. The story talks about urea acting as an excitor of sorts. I've only got very basic knowledge of chemistry, so most of what is being said goes over my head. All the same, I'm fascinated by the concept and was wondering if anybody could make some sense of it. Would it be possible to do something similar I wonder? Having said that, I've bought a sample of urea (about 250 grams) from eBay and plan to mix it with the water and alcohol to inject in my water injection system. I just don't quite know how much to put in and was hoping someone might be able to advise me.
Anybody have any ideas/interpretations/understanding about this odd topic?
