A better diesel engine
Tinker:
While sitting here doing this:
:coffee:
I read this:

Well folks...
:poke:
Bernd:
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:

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".
