Kelly,
I haven't seen the Video yet, however this is
something I have been thinking about for some time now.
Engine efficiency is due to complete fuel
combustion.
Injectors attempt to maximize this process by
injecting under high pressure.
Direct injection was, before now, a problem due to
atomization problems.
Nebulizers perform the same function when
dispensing medicines into the lungs - droplet sizes being a criteria for age and
condition.
I believe the ultimate solution is fuel vapor,
whereby the fuel is fully atomized and injected as a gas.
To get fuel to a vapor state requires heat. Heat by
itself won't ignite fuel, however in a vapor state fuel becomes highly volatile.
Could be why it hasn't been done commercially before this time.
If the fuel could be vaporized just prior to
injection, and within the motor (acting as containment) - the problem
would be solved. I don't know of anyone with the answer yet.

Group,
Possably a future fuel
injector system for our use even though designed primarily
for heavy
fuels.................Interesting................
Watch
This: From Ink Jets to Jet Engines
 A maker of propulsion systems for unmanned aerial
vehicles discovered a novel use for ink jets: they've created a MEMS fuel
injection system that can improve small engine efficiency. This video explores
how the device produces much smaller fuel droplets — down to 10 microns — helping
improve fuel mix and combustion.
