That's a nice analogy, Dean
.
But isn't the added mechanical advantage of higher compression counteracted by increased energy loss during the compression stroke? It seems to me that if it takes more energy to compress the fuel/air charge further, but you get more energy out of it, shouldn't the two factors just cancel each other out?
