Have you looked into Somender Singh's grove in the head design? He also is a proponent of gass miliage and fuel efficiency. He is also a supporter of the increased compression increased effeciency theory.

Short: Groove(s) in squish area, appear to be pointing at plug.

Has patents.

Observations: Appears to aim a slug of mix at the plug area near TDC.

Neat idea, on a true "squishie" motor, with the chamber over the ex valve only, the groove_s_ should likely point at the center of the ex valve, or could be configured to provide extra swirl.

I am curious if one could stick a ~10-12mm plug NEXT to the std plug location so it was in the "right place" in a T4 head.

Funny that this post popped up again...

Over this past weekend Beth allowed me to convince that her engine/car needed a certain change....

Wait till you see what it is, but it won't be publicized until we are done with it! (too many Stromberg's out there!)

I read an article about him over a year ago. He struggled for years trying to get some recognition, support and a patent. I'm glad to see he suceeded. It was an interesting story...had a picture of the poor guy working barefoot in his garage, making something out of nothing. Ya can't help but admire him.

Jake, if you get a chance, follow that link and read a bit.

You have a brother of sorts in Mysore.

The more you bug me the less you'll learn!

Now I'm glad I didn't finish the engine yet!

I know I know. I just want to see pics that is all.

It's cool I am really a patient person, I was just trying to build my post count.

Hahahahha!

Just Kidding.

FWIW, I have OPENFOAM (CFD program) 1.2 working now, and will be trying to model the turbulence with and without Mr. Singhs "grooves", probably just modifying an existing model at first.

I just have to remember how to use Blender... It can generate files FOAM can import IIRC.

Waiting with bated breath for the latest upgrade

Guess it is too late to put those in those apfelbeck OHC heads.

Ya know the deeper Beth gets into this stuff the longer the engine will take.

Hey Beth, have you ever thought about turbo charging? I mean while the engine is still being built and all....

Nah, Maybe some NOS, so she could have a "Warp Speed" button
