..depends, e.g. on how you make use of the environment 
you create in your new hot engine.  ;o)  
"Moving out of the box", offers new opportunities and 
new challenges. ;o) 

..e.g. "pre-ignition" can be taken advantage of, ;o) early uses 
in metallic diesel engines, includes "pre-ignition chambers."

..aye, and Greg is here _way_ outside the traditional gasification
box ;o) with his newfangled 9 dimensional math, but then again some 
math geeks claim _everything_ can be put in 8 (or 16?) dimensional 
math models of physics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octonion

..relax, you don't need this kinda math unless you're trying to 
burn tar vapors in your engine rather than in your gasifier. ;o)
