Well the quote form the book I posted it pretty straight forward. I feel sums Mr. Bell's position well.

No worries... It takes a lot to get me pissed.

Yeah I am aware that water injection is not a new thing. And in theory it sounds like there could be practical applications. I am looking for some credible information on the subject. Like I said everything I have read, frowns upon that method of detonation control.
The one other thing that you mentioned about the water releasing oxygen and hydrogen into the combustion chamber. I am not sure that is the case. As water is a pretty stable element I doubt that the energy is sufficient to break down it's molecular structure with durring combustion. Rather I understood the purpose to be to stabilize and lowering the temp of the mixture to prevent pre ignition combustion.

There may well be. However I still want to see some type of proof. Aside from claims made by manufacturers.
As far as reducing stress on internals water injection is only a means of suppressing detention. It has not effect on reducing the compressive or tensile loads on the engine that result from increasing it's power output. So therefore if detention is controlled by means of intercooling and proper fuel management what is the point of water injection. I don't think that any one would really suggest that water injection is a substitute for either proper fuel delivery or intercooling. So my question is what exactly would be the benifit of adding a complicated potential point of falure to my motor?
As I have said before I am not an expert on the subject. I do read a lot on it. But I am not an expert. If any one have good evidence to support waterinjection as a means of detionation control or any other application, I would be grateful.
