The Challenge: MPG, are you up to it or not!!!
When are we change the way we think. C'mon guy's, we have to think outside the box!!! Let me try to... No, we need a better fuel delivery system. Carburetors work, fuel injection is better, electronic system's are great, and the digital age is here. But all in all they will not get us the mpg's!!! We need a new fuel delivery system. This is what i propose, a device that can be installed or retrofitted to any engine.
Okay, okay, after everybody laughs themselves silly.
Think about when you see, here, tweet, or get an email.
That someone or a group of somebodies (because they will get more than 15 minutes) have changed the way we supply fuel to an engine. What is it people say (why didn't i think of that!!!
) You couldn't get up off the floor laughing at, or typing a ( i know ) quick response.
I know this is a invitation for criticism, but necessity is the mother of invention. Now that i have your attention one way or the other,
here goes.
Off the subject a little, you may have started with a (pc or a mac, windows, mac os, Linux or whatever even ie, firefox, or opera ) Sorry rambling,
You are not where you started. To the point, ( i ain't no blogger ).
The Project
1.) one internal combustion engine ( even a lawnmower )
2.) remove the fuel line, maybe the carb too
The Concept ( out of the the box )
A.) can you run it on concentrated fuel vapor ( not liquid )
The Problem
B.) safely deliver, regulate, and meter fuel to the induction system to adequately operate said engine throughout it's intended operating range, for whatever its use, or environment
Research and Development ( Let's Open Source it [example: Linux] )
C.) we have information technology at our fingertip's
D.) we can do this, be safe, document, start small, refine, scale up
E. ) the goal, double your average mpg, maintain or improve hp and torque
I might be telling my age, back in the day. Chevrolet did what conventional thinking said couldn't be done ( Zora-Arkov Duntov and engineers squeezed 1hp per cubic in. out a 283cu. in. engine. ) Hey it even had fuel injection ( i think ). What ever your flavor of auto racing, look at all the improvements in the past 50 yrs. Them NASCAR racers just started going close to 200mph in the late 70's and early 80's.
I'm not sure, how this thread stuff works, but i'm gonna post to several.
Now discuss. Plan, get out the tools, strip it, mod it, let's see some results, record some data, share some knowledge, isn't that why we come together on the net???
