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.
Something that can't be done in a recip.

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.

Norm you are correct.
This is what Denso is testing.
