the complexity of the reactant (1/4 of the engine plus a whole new controller/sensor algorithm to reign in + various plumbing, might even need separate wide-band on the reactor cylinder plus a lot of fudge) for %10 doesn't seem like it is worth it. There is a lot of complexity there, not simplifying, nor cost saving, like the video goes on about.

And if you are talking fixed speed/load, as in series hybrid, then hcci w/a cam just got a lot easier too.
