A lot of BS with no real info :)

More like a bunch of guys with ideas, but sadly their BoD doesn't
quite realize the market place for their injection system.

Lots of great R&D is taken from old technology, applying modern
electronics and materials, then producing a new product.

1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.....

This is from their web site.  I suspect a group of High School
kids could have written something much better,
but translated is "you just don't understand what we are
doing, but send us more money and we will make you rich"....

Transonic's breakthrough high energy
efficiency, low carbon footprint solution disrupts the stagnant
efficiency trajectory of the internal combustion engine over the past
100 years. Our lean combustion process utilizes lean air-to-fuel ratios
that minimize many of thermal efficiency losses from today's engine
technology. Transonic's precision controlled fuel injection systems
address these issues to dramatically improve the efficiency and halve
the emissions of modern internal combustion engines./End Quote

Paul -- This is some fun reading (one of their patents..... wonder
how much they got from the VC folks?)

Right on Tom.

That non discloser stuff is so typical of the scam artist.
It make it near impossible to discredit the technology publicly
short circuiting the scam. If they do have something new
let them apply for a patent.

First, super critical direct injection is an interesting idea.  It works by preheating the fuel, under pressure, until the heat energy in the fuel is enough to flash vaporize it when the pressure is released.  This produces a cloud of vaporized fuel that is as hot as the pre-injection pressure and temperature allow it to be.

But here is the tricky part;  How hot does the air in the cylinder have to be before you get combustion?  If the fuel is hot enough, it doesn't matter.  It will burn as soon as the oxygen is available.  But mixing the fuel and air enough to allow combustion without cooling the fuel so much that it doesn't burn is an interesting subject.

BUT, I have a problem believing it is that much more efficient than a Diesel cycle.  It can get away with lower compression, of course, since the air doesn't need to be hot enough to start combustion.  Maybe. One interesting possibility is that the combustion energy over time curve can be controlled by the rate the fuel is introduced into the cylinder.  Smoothing out the combustion burn could have good effects, especially under low speed, high load conditions.  It can't knock because there is no excess fuel to detonate.  But again, that's similar to a Diesel.

Transformational?  I doubt it very much :-)
