Direct injection at TDC should allow very high compression ratios. 80 to 1 AF ratio would also allow high compression ratios. Could be possibly twice what diesels average now.

Combine this with my rotary design and CRs as high as 50 to one and you have a HCCI game changer, that can store energy capacitively for high power available instantly.

60% plus efficiency potential, I would think.
