What i understand from "Smokey Yunick Phase Adiabatic engine" is this;
1.) the gasoline internal combustion engine is woefully inefficient
2.) the fuel, air ratio was the first place he started
3.) vaporized fuel was his preferred method to deliver a more efficient combustible charge
4.) the problem, how to change a liquid fuel to heated vapor in suspension
5.) deliver a leaner (approx. 20:1 ratio), compressed combustible charge
6.) compression may accomplish two things a.) act as one way control valve
b.) increased volume to the charge
7.) waste exhaust heat used to a.) drive the compressor, b.) heat the intake manifold
8.) waste heat from coolant used to heat the initial charge
I might be naive, gasoline burns, gas fumes are more explosive. Just because "Smokey Yunick" patented his idea and invention. C'mon, maybe there's something to it. He had a few car company's (who???) interested. I think he was, his own man and would not be intimidated. If they didn't want to play ball, his way. Oh well!!!
P.S. "He who laugh's last, laugh's best", Keep on wrenchin'
