Abstract: A water jet suitable for use in a water recreational apparatus has (a) a body defining a body interior passageway between a body inlet opening and a body outlet opening, the body having (a) a light well with an open external end and a closed transparent internal end, and (b) an insert disposed largely within the body, the insert defining an insert interior passageway between an insert inlet opening and an insert outlet opening, the insert defining a flange cover at the proximal end of the insert. The insert is moveable within the body between a water open position and a water closed position. The insert is also moveable within the body between a light on position and a light off position.

Abstract: A method of operating an internal combustion engine comprises the steps of (a) pressurizing a liquid fuel to a pressure above 150 psig; (b) heating the liquid fuel to a temperature above 500° F. to produce a heated liquid fuel; (c) suddenly reducing the pressure of the heated liquid fuel sufficiently to vaporize the heated liquid fuel to form a vaporized hot fuel; (d) combining the vaporized hot fuel with oxygen to form a vaporized hot fuel/oxygen mixture; (e) introducing the vaporized hot fuel/oxygen mixture into the internal combustion engine; and (f) combusting the vaporized hot fuel/oxygen mixture within the internal combustion engine.
