Hey everyone... I'm going to be on a talk show with my prototype vehicle... I hope you all can take a bit of time to not just listen in but call in with...

Well I voted last time to leave them in on the basis that they might generate some debate. If people want them out then I'll get rid of them. Tell you what...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the highefficiencyvehicles group: Do you want to continue to get the EV news spam/post in this forum? o...

it would be nice if they would at lease cut and paste an article or two here... but having to wade though their web site to try and find the news is not what...
P.S. I'm not saying just ban them outright... but jump on them and make them participate with the group... with out any participation it's just solicitation......
... might ... I just voted to leave it in. There has not been any real activity for quite a while in this group other than this regular post. There has been a...
I'm new to this group, but I've been working on increasing the gas combustion engine efficiency for years. I've tried acetone, water/hydrogen, vaporizers, and...
My work can be seen at dehyds.com and the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize Forum. http://www.progressiveautoxprize.org/forum/ Changing vehicle...
I was kind of wondering the same thing. I first got interest in this group only about a month ago. I joined after getting a Daewoo to tinker with, but there...
I had also hoped for more "grass-roots" kind of discussions on this group. Not so much industry changing things but things like discussions of...
Well, sure, just start a thread on each topic. But if you want a quick answer: Not much, yes, no, no-ish. On the last one, water injection is a perfectly...
Yeah... I've got more then a passing interest... what have you found to work and what does not... what were your real results??? Have you tried water...
... Ok, I will bite. My understanding is that water injection alone does little to improve economy. Does it offer any advantage other than cooling the...
... improve economy. Does it offer any advantage other than cooling the combustion temperature? Yes, it increases the mass of stuff in the combustion chamber...
I just had a thought: I know very little about how ethanol performs. I know one can convert a car fairly cheaply to run on E85, but I suspect this is mostly...
Ethanol is more resistant to pre-ignition than gasoline. It can be run in an engine that has a higher compression ratio which would produce more...
On these-- Yes, you're using fuel when in neutral, but you're not engine braking, as you would with foot off the accelerator in gear. I find I go faster ...
Thanks for the info. I believe higher CR gives better efficiency as well as increased power. Same with spark advance (to a point). Of course, ethanol has a...
Good points about engine braking vrs coasting. Automatic transmissions have less engine braking because of torque converter slippage. ...
water injection does little to cool off the cylinder... what it does is flash into steam... upping the pressure in the cylinder with combustion... too much and...
Well, for a spark ignition internal combustion engine, yes. A compression ignition engine such as a diesel needs the exact opposite pre-ignition...
atomic submarines have turned sea water into oxygen and dumped the hydogen into the sea.is the feasibility so extreme that in can't be down sized pump the...
A question: octane is costly, yes? What about cetane? I thought diesel was similar to kerosene, hence not as highly refined as gasoline. It used to be somewhat...
cetane???? Sorry Stephen but I'd never heard of it so I looked it up... webster says: cetane |ˈsēˌtān| noun Chemistry a colorless liquid hydrocarbon of the...
