Just to show how misleading a 20% increase is. I increased the gas mileage in my motorhome 20%...I was getting 5 mpg, now I get 6 mpg (true).

Andrew Barnes, the Managing Director of Powertrain Technologies, expects that, in view of these results obtained at such an early stage of development, up to 25% improvement in fuel economy can be achieved in the near future. LOL, bring on the research funds. Hook it to a dyno and give me the results. The thing will get so hot it will melt under load.

The developers earlier estimated that up to 80% reduction in NOx and HC is possible.Airflow thru the engine is not throttled. I think this means more air flows thru the engine even at low power output. This is a great way to lower exhaust emissions as they are calculated as a fraction of the exhaust flow. Same emissions/more air = lower fraction.

If the combustion chamber orifice geometry has a deleterious effect, which I’d guess it does, some more efficiency can be gained there.
Would also think that angling the top of the piston chamber towards the orifice might improve flow, if that were to help.
Good out of the box (cylinder) design.
