    In season of rain due to heavy moisture in air, i.c. engine run smooth with LESS KNOCKING and feels good.
    I think if we set a device with air filter to put it wet with calculated amount of water to maintain the % of moisture in air(sucked by engine) in other(summer) season as it is in rainy days,would surely help to reduce the knocking in other season.
    By the way this would not effect much in performance but feels good to drive.


    IS THIS POSSIBLE OR HELPFUL ?

    In a way it would be possible. however we still have to take care of one thing : corrosion of cylinder walls due to the moisture present.

    It Can be reduce by mixing ethenol .
    i want to know mechanicaly how to construct that device which whold spray water very slowly .
    And how to collect the datas of moisture in the air
    I want to test this myself on my bike

    I suggest you use a carburetor to inject atomized water into the intake manifold. I would ask you to look into variable valve timing and to inject water into the cylinder during its suction stroke, where it would have the added advantage of cooling the soon-to-burn air and hence increasing its density, but that is advanced stuff. Good luck, and do tell us about your results!

    PS. I do not recommend doing this unless you know a good mechanic, or are one yourself, or have expert guidance otherwise.

    What are the advantages of this design over increased octane fuel or enriching the mixture to combat detonation? Water injection can certainly reduce detonation by cooling combustion chamber temperatures and many times is used in conjunction with forced induction. It is though more complex and involves additional equipment that'll make it very challenging for a motorcycle application, though I bet it can be done!
