My fear:
If/when sold; you will no longer be at liberty to discuss what you learned/achieved, much less build any more such engines.
That the knowledge will be shelved like so many others, never benefiting anyone.

IMHO No matter what I do "sell it or show it to the rest of the world" they will win.

Let's use F1 for an example of this. On the 2014 Hybrid engine rules. The FIA chose to make it where they couldn't use an "Active Pre-Chamber" with their approve DI. They said it would be too costly for the OEM's. BS!!! The teams have spent way more money on the "Passive Pre-Chambers" due to its lack of ability by its poorer design to direct the DI injection fuel into the Passive Pre-Chamber. IMHO this is BS and is/was to keep the ICE efficiency down because the improvements would be way more then they want to pass onto the OEM's.
F1 is tied to big oil producers and automobile producers are in bed with big oil producers. My point is I'm just a high school graduate no body that has an obsession with 4-cycle ICE engines that made a way more efficient engine then they have ever made for their customers. The OEM's already have all the technology and lots more than what I have done. They could make a way more efficiency ICE then they have now.

So, if I choose to go the route of making kits or a DIY type of deal, they could make my life miserable with patent conflicts etc. So, in short, I don't trust any automobile manufacture including BMW.

Side notes back in 2011 me making a prediction on the 2014 engine and utilizing it for road relevance. I'm pgfpro on this forum.

It seems that the catalysts used for steam reformatting are a mixture of copper, aluminum (oxide) and zinc. (oxide)
Which explains why the "diffuse" (is the term I think the paper used) layer of copper plating,
that left both some aluminum (oxide) exposed and exposed copper,
worked as well as it did on that research engine.

ie:
It's likely that pure copper pre-chambers wont be as effective as that diffuse layer used in the research engine.

Also Copper powder alone in the fuel pre heater probably wont work/help, whereas a mixture of copper, zinc and aluminum powder, with some 'air time' would..?

Are you going to perform tests according to the protocol you already applied to your 4G63 engine or you're only selling a license for your design to be fitted to other engines?

At this time, it's totally open for negotiating's. What I want is to be able to have full rights to my design so I can keep improving on the engine itself. My goal is to make an "Active Pre-Chamber" that will be also have variable GCI and a Plug in Hybrid. Hence new purchase on my wife's 2026 Prius Plug In.

Another thing worth mentioning is I won't sign any NDA. This could kill the deal with almost any manufacturer, but I really don't care. The more I research the less likely it will be sold.

Was just reading an (MSN) article about Horse Powertrain's new engine series, which "replace the traditional spark plug with a pre-chamber ignition system."

Horse is jointly owned by Renault, Geely, and Aramco.

Thx Ecky

"...One highlight was Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI), developed in partnership with Aramco. This technology replaces the traditional spark plug with a pre-chamber ignition system, significantly improving combustion efficiency. Testing on a 1.8-liter engine demonstrated a 5 percent reduction in WLTP emissions. Series production is scheduled for 2029..."

That does not have a patch on pgfpro's

• 30 to 1 AF ratio and
• 30 to 1 compression ratio
• AF ratio etc = throttle

engine IMHO.

Also interesting is;
the "gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology". (AC-DC-AC etc) system
and
98.2% efficiency motor.

I have imperfect understanding of your accomplishment, but htis sounds like they were trying to do the same thing in the intake manifold.
1926 Packard with an interesting factory feature, that's dangerous to have functional now, the Fuelizer, a 1920 invention

the Packard Automobile Company engineers perfected a device which is simple and solved the problem of heating the 1920s low-grade of gasoline to insure complete combustion.

The Fuelizer consisted of a chamber surrounding the intake manifold, in which a small amount of gasoline is exploded and then drawn into the manifold thus raising the temperature of the gas to a high degree.

The gasoline is drawn into the Fuelizer chamber by a small pipe leading from below the butterfly valve, is circulated at high velocity in the chamber by the explosion caused by the spark plug in the chamber, and then goes through a small opening into the manifold where the usual wet and cold mixture from the carburetor is converted into superheated gas which explodes entirely upon ignition.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Piotrsko]

If the manifold doesn't leak, not much can go wrong, but I wouldn't use the packard method, modern control stuff is a lot better. I honestly haven't heard a backfire since I gave my bug to my daighter 25 years ago
