Injecting more volatile liquid into the combustion chamber is decades old.
A two stroke direct inject diesel will blow this thing away. Now add propane injection and a turbo to the diesel and we have something efficient. Never mind, there already on the road (and rails).
Seriously, there are REAL cutting edge engine concepts all over the world improving efficiencies 200-300%. Before big auto will listen... come up with something ingenious that hasn't been done.
I loved the picture enough to post the article (made me giggle) Researchers demonstrating efficiency on a MACbook (more giggles ;-) sweeeet!
MIT researchers will have an engine that can go as much as 30 percent farther on a gallon of fuel than an ordinary engine. Moreover, the little engine provides high performance without the use of high-octane gasoline. Read more here VIA-sciencedaily.com
