[Gasification] Benefits of boosting compression ratio

[Greg and April]

There were so many back posts in that message ( some of which appeared to be cut up in to multiple statements ), I was sure who exactly to send it to.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.

  Look I don't know what it is you are trying to send as an attachment, but it's causing my e-mail to lock up and when I try to look at it while it is on the ISP server, it comes across as nothing but a bunch of misc. characters and symbols - instead of sending it to everyone, including those that are not interested, why don't you just supply a link where folks can go and download it if they want to.

    Mark,
    I always thought that it was possible to have a "slow explosion" as it all depended on "flame speed" I
    Which increases with compression. (a slow explosion can have certain benefits)       So run lean

      It would seem that if a greater quantity of fuel and air gas mixture is induced, compressed and "exploded during" the power stroke of the engine

    The point I am making is that the separation of gasses has been successfully achieved with HRVT

    Just as a small point, Geoff, the fuel does not “explode” but burns at a progressive rate. Explosions do happen, inadvertently, but these detonations severely shorten engine life.
