[Land-speed] Single Cylinder Engine

[Bryan Savage]

Skip,

Kidding aside, It sounds like a fascinating project.

If you are not familiar with HCCI research, you might
want to check this out:
http://www.me.berkeley.edu/cal/HCCI/

It lists several SAE papers on the subject.

NOTE: A completely homogeneous fuel air charge will not
ping or detonate and cause damage that we are used to seeing.
The whole cylinder of fuel & air goes off all at once. There
is no flame front.
Potential for much higher efficiency and power.

Have fun,
Bryan
