This is another very interesting graphic with no explanation given.
Apparently this blows the rich mixture out of the trailing
portion of the combustion chamber. In that case it is
similar
to my stratified charge idea.

Paul, This is a very interesting idea. It is also interesting to note that
experiments with piston engines showed trouble burning the mixture anytime
the crown to head distance is less than .010 inches. There are several examples
of hemi head engines that simply didn't work until they installed dual ignition.
Real tight squish bands on 2 strokes as well. The hemi head Kawasaki Z1 900cc
race engines of late 70's vintage was an example. The high dome piston caused
detonation that just vanished when they went to 2 plugs! The power was NOT
changed but reliability went way up. Bill Jepson
