Are you guys still in production?

What is the current BSFC?

Paul,
I looked what you attached, and had an idea. Would laser ignition work in the chamber? I believe it would, and could be more efficient.

What do you think?

I read somewhere laser windows in combustion chambers get covered with soot.

Hi Paul,
    It would be interesting to see if a laser window in a rotary, if flush with the chamber wall, would be "wiped" clean with the apex seal.

A sapphire or diamond window should work. It could be small so not too expensive.

By no means am I an expert on lasers. However, I would think the beam would blast the black soot away. Being that black absorbs the heat energy very quickly.
