>Somehow, in a conversation with Henry Curtis, we got to talking about
>steam and water. He said he had been told that if you mist or spray
>water on a coal stove, that the heat of the stove would be inreased
>without the need for additional fuel. Several sample observations were
>mentioned and it sounds like this could be something worth
>investigating. He says it will get MUCH hotter.

>I'm gonna have to start recording this stuff as I don't always remember
>all the details...<g>..and most of it is so interesting it needs to be
>passed around to everyone else.

>If this is so, that you can increase the heat of a metal surface simply
>by a mist of water, it should be proveable.

>Take a thermoelectric module (a Peltier junction or thermocouple
>measuring device)...this produces current in the presence of
>heat...attach this to the heated surface, monitor the temperature when
>heated...note the temperature and slight variations....then mist the
>water and see what happens.
>
>If it gets as hot as Henry says hes heard it does...something bizarre is
>going on which might be an energy source...hmm, thermocouples produce
>current, thermistor sap a voltage that goes across it...so I'd stick
>with thermocouples....propane torch, piece of iron or steel
>plate...Radio Shack might sell a thermocouple...let us know!!!
