Does anybody know if the Yanmar diesel is a two-stroke diesel,
or a four stroke diesel? Honda has been doing work with a
direct-injected two-stroke gasoline engine. The engine has
a piston port design on the exhaust side and an additional exhaust
throttle valve. At low engine rpm, a conventional two-stroke
engine is fuel inefficient because the fuel mixture tends to escape out the exhaust. So Honda has this exhaust throttling valve which
tends to trap mixture in the combustion chamber at low rpm. And
the fuel is not injected until the exhaust port is completely closed
by the piston. The engine also makes use of recombinant energy.
As the fuel burns, releasing energy, the molecules break down into
unstable molecules. These molecules recombine into burnable
fuel in the combustion chamber! It sounds like you get to burn your
fuel twice, but really all Honda is doing is making the most efficient
use of the fuel injected. Honda's test vehicle was a motorcycle,
entered in the Dakar Rally last year. It won the 400 cc class. I
think they claim that mileage was increased by 40%. Does
BAT know anything about recombinant energy technology?
