While sitting here doing this: :coffee: I read this: --- Quote from: RipSlider on September 01, 2009, 05:43:40 PM ---I know such a design doesn't happen by magic - and I'm not in a position to preach as I know sod all about it - but I would put real money on the fact that if a new thread was opened up on this forum called "A better diesel engine" or "A fuel efficient 2-stroke engine" and everyone threw their ten-pence worth in, then some remarkable things - some remarkable idea's - would happen in days. --- End quote --- Well folks... :poke: |

I've often wondered what would happen if instead of air one used 100% oxygen metered at the precise amount for combustion. Would you get more power? Use less fuel? BTW, if somebody tries this and succedes I get half the royalties. :lol: Bernd |
| Darren:
It might give more power, but 100% oxygen is a tad more expensive than free air.... |
| crimson:
i reckon an external form of compressing the fuel air mixture e.g. supercharger/procharger. thus leaving the crankase to hold the oil so no premix would be used, this might also allow the compression to be raised. probably a bit complicated though :borg: |
| John Hill:
Crimson, I think that is often done with big diesels and not so big ones too like the Commer "Double Knocker". |
