John,
Don't know - however I'd be surprised if it
hadn't been tried before. In this era where emphasis is on pollution
control, you would think all these thing would come to the forefront
of
engine technology.
Has anyone one got any info on the Honda Civic,
maybe someone had one and knows a little
about it.
BTW finally saw the video Kelly and I was impressed
with what I saw. Ink jet technology must be better than I imagined.
If it can be done for heavy fuels, they can do it
for the lighter fuel as well - maybe? It would be good if they could do it
without high pressure.
I know more than one of the smaller rotary
engines run fuel through the rotor to cool the rotor and it certainly would heat
the fuel and it may be for this reason they do it. However I'm wondering about
droplet sizes and what happens when cool air hits the hot vaporized fuel - does
it condense the fuel back into larger droplets. If so that would negate the
effect. To my way of thinking what is needed is hot vaporized fuel suspended in
cold air - I'm no where near smart enough to solve this
problem.

George, wasn't the idea of the pre-combustion
chamber used in the original Honda Civic, something along this line of
thinking. The car was achiving over 50 miles to the gallon at that
time. JohnD

Technology Injectors
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.
