BDC, you seem like a reasonably intellegent dude and you yourself proclaimed your ultimate status as researcher king of the world in a different thread. Go read up on it and you'll understand why this engine isn't totally bogus. It may not yet have been engineered to perfection, but the idea is quite sound and aluminum-hat-free.
Good point about the 2-stroke. I wonder if a TBI 2-stroke could simply choose when to spray water or gas based on cyl wall temps. Engine is too cold, run as normal. Reach operating temp and do 1 water cyclefor every 9 gas cycles, then, 2/8, then 3/7 till a temperature equalibrium is met... interesting.
