OK, keep it on topic. Respond to my last post about your two stroke design. there are significant problems with a low compression two stroke design. How does your open source design attempt to overcome those downfalls? Can different materials be incorporated into an ICE to achieve higher efficiencies? If we were to be stuck with ICE engines for the next ten years, what could we do immediately to make that better.

could this do it?
Welcome to Coates International Ltd.
or
HCCI
Stratified charge (why didnt this happen earlier-honda dropped)
turbo
3,4,5 valve engines (some manufaturers are still not doing this on large displacement)
dry sump
DOD
ceramic metal matrix
miller cycle
six-stroke (referring to the engine design that reburns in another cylinder from two supplying cylinders)

Just going electric and obsoleting the ICE (not possible, yet that is)

I am not sure what all the answers are, but lets keep it on topic.
