Automotive Good books to understand detonation in engines

Click For Summary
Recommended introductory books for understanding detonation in engines include "Gaseous Detonations: Their Nature, Effects and Control" by M.A. Nettleton and "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John Heywood, which is highly regarded in the field. The Wikipedia page on engine knocking serves as a useful starting point for basic concepts. Additionally, "IC Engine" by M.L. Mathur and R.P. Sharma is suggested for further insights. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in the subject of engine detonation. These resources provide a solid basis for understanding the complexities of engine knock and detonation phenomena.

Experts I've worked with have long considered John Heywood's book "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" the bible for IC engines. I just happened to see that a 2nd edition came out this year.

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
