Performance modifications

I ran into an interview with the designer of the Agni 95R, Cedric Lynch, on the net and I found an interesting part about water cooling the Agni in order to boost performance. Now I know I'm not ready yet but this is FUN!
Apparently one can run about 50% more power into the agni if these steps are followed:


"It is possible to cool an Agni motor with water spray. The best place to spray is on the inner part of the armature opposite to the side the brushes run on, and you need about 40 millilitres per minute which you get from a 1mm jet fed by gravity with a 250mm head. Turn the water off before stopping the motor, so that it does not remain wet when it is not in use."

This is what I'm looking at right now:

The tank is located 250mm above the spray nozzle. The cooling water is controlled by a solenoid, normally closed. The solenoid is in turn controlled by a bimetal thermal switch, normally open, that triggers at 80C.
It just might work!
