Looks like a Brown's gas generator helps burn gasoline more efficiently . My inquiries have led me to believe so . I live in Hawaii and we don't test for emissions , perhaps that data would be helpful . L. A. cleaned up their sky's with tight emissions control . My concern is that a lot of...

Carbon build up might raise compression and even a small build up at the valve base hinders air flow . Seems like these two might cancel each other . I'm getting fascinated by fuel vaporization , let me know if you have any insight .

Could this discovery answer any questions about ageing ?

Cadillac built a 4 liter v8 transverse mounted engine , I always thought that would make a great mid engine car .

Perhaps the fracking is easing tension and might lower the occurrence of potentially more dangerous eqs .

Valves get carbon build up that hinders air flow, reducing performance . Regular decarbonizing might be a smart thing to do.

I wonder if the carbon might cause problems down stream by getting lodged in cat converter .

I have always thought that the wankel engine would best suited for your notion .

I had a '65 corvair turbo in 1985 , you couldn't get leaded fuel , so I opted for a holley wat er injection unit . With very few sensors , it injected (sprayed) water at higher vacuum and solved my detonation problem beautifully.

Perhaps a transmission could convert torque to increased r.p.m. I for see a day when we use wind power to force sea water to higher elevations where it's run thru a solar still . The excess water is used for hydro power. It's a giant battery with no emissions .

Good question , the design I'm talking about has much more blade area at the perimeter where the torque is higher. I can't remember his estimates on efficiency but I do remember being impressed . Someone said earlier that as the area doubles the force triples

A turbine designer has come up with a multi bladed wind mill . It has a large containment ring , allows much higher rotational speeds. The blades are self correcting (spring loaded). He has a sailing background and developed a self trimming blade. The blade has pivot aft of the center of effort...

I have noticed an increase in wind speed at our windsurfing beach as the tide rises. We have also have had a large area of desert get covered with grass . That has had a big effect The Big Island (world's largest mountain) cast a shadow nine miles out to sea. I don't think human intervention...

The ethanol that is put in our fuel is problematic, for one it's of poor quality and secondly it attracts moisture. Not good for metal gas tanks or fuel lines . You have a difficult time starting any machinery that isn't used all the time.
