Paul:

   Perhaps you have followed the development of "Super Critical Fuel
 Injection"
   by a local Camarillo company, Transonic Combustion Inc.

   "We bring dramatic fuel economy improvements to existing automotive
   powertrains," said Brian Ahlborn, president and CEO,
   Transonic Combustion, Inc. "Our approach to energy efficiency will
   help the automotive industry meet 2016 fuel economy and emissions
 regulations

   With Transonic Combustion's technology, the fuel is heated to 400 degrees
   Celsius, which turns it into a vapor, or so-called supercritical
   fuel. The vapor state allows it to mix with air much more quickly
   and enter the combustion chamber much faster.  "In the supercritical
   state, we are able to inject the fuel more rapidly and use
   significantly less fuel to achieve the same amount of work to drive
   the piston."

   "A modified gasoline engine installed in a 3200-lb (1451-kg)
   test vehicle, for example, is getting 98 mpg (41.6 km/L)
   when running at a steady 50 mph (80 km/h) in the lab."

   Gee that sounds familiar.

   Could that be the long lost 100 mpg carburetor? :)

   A lot of fashionable green propaganda with zero technical
   content.

   I have the patent. Obviously the patent office
   is no longer bothering to read the  pat apps :)

   All those people and 70,000 square feet and no car I or
   anybody else can drive? :)  I know a few automotive
   journalist that would love to test it.

   I'll believe it when I see it function :)

   Sounds like a redo of Smoky's hot air engines. Gasoline does not vapourize
 all hydrocarbon components until about 450 degrees F. Not saying somebody
 can
 not come along with a little different slant and make something work, but if
 Smoky ran into brick walls with his connections; I don't know. The cool
 intake
 air is going to pull heat out of the fuel and have a tendency to condense
 it.
 Knowledge right now says to inject into the cylinder or intake and the
 evaporation will cool the air and make a denser charge. OOPS. Somebody got
 it
 wrong.

 Dale,

 FYI, 400 Celsius = 752 Fahrenheit; therefore, all the hydrocarbon components
 should be vaporized way before the 450 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.

 A denser charge can be achieved with anti detonation injection (ADI), which
 is very old technology.

 And that is my .02 worth...

I get it. It is the old steam engine trick.
Heat fluid until it expands. Injection water
into a hot cylinder causing it to expand.

Water injection is a form of turbo compound.

Steam occupies about 1,600 times the volume of an
equal mass of liquid water.

Heat any fluid hot enough in the absence of O2 and it
will greatly expand. Don't forget to add in the heat
it takes to heat the fluid when calculating
the MPG :)

If you use the exhaust to heat the fluid it
is also form of turbo compound.

Look up the six cycle engine.

In this case they are using the gasoline as the
working fluid in a steam engine :)

Another clever scam.
