The unburned mixture is stored in the exhaust sysem. Dolphin's pulse technology has to depend upon a principle fundamental to the internal combustion engine: bidirectional flow. There is a simplified model of the four stroke engine, with the four strokes identified as intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The simplified model assumes air flow through an engine is unidirectional. This worked when engines turned at 300 revolutions per minute. Technology grew by leaps and bounds and it was discovered that there was horsepower and economy to be found by making use of the reverse flow which occurs in the engine due to sonic waves passing through the intake mixture and the exhaust gasses. Dodge found that they could increase the length of the intact tract to a precise tuned length which would cause the optimum flow of mixture into the engine at a certain rpm which is the cruising speed for that engine. An engine will get its best fuel economy at its torque peak and the vehicle will be geared to cruise at its torque peak rpm. There is also the matter of exhaust tuning. The sonic waves travelling through the exhaust gasses can alternately help to extract the gasses or block the passage of the gasses. Exhaust tuning can be used to enhance fuel economy by returning unburned mixture to the cylinder, This is where the recombinant energy technology comes in. The molecules have had time to recombine into burnable fuel. There are ways to use acoustic tuning to return the recombinant mixture to the cylinder, and there are ways to keep the mixture from being wasted out the exhaust pipe to be burned up by the catalytic converter. One of these ways is to place a computer controlled throttle valve in the exhaust manifold. At low rpm, the valve is closed, creating back pressure to hold the unburned gasses near the cylinder so they can be recycled. My friend received a package of engine information from BAT. He tells me that BAT in the Northeastern US is going to rebuild diesel engines for some company. He said that part of the rebuild involved moving the injector and placing a spark plug in that hole. He said that BAT will rebuild these engine for the same price it would cost normally, but that they want the company to pay BAT for the savings in fuel. Has anyone else read this info? And, if I can get close enough to the test car, I'm going to be looking for sparkplugs and exhaust throttle valves.
