I like it. A short replusive electrical shot at about 30 degrees on the exhaust stroke. The equipment has to take some serious heat, but might be possible. That's orginal thinking!

Yeah well, I don't know if it's all that great. YOu still have to come up with the part that goes in the piston and it has to be really really light and heat resistant.

But if you could do it, you might as well apply the same idea to all the ROD BEARING AND PISTON PINS TOO! Make every part in the whole darn engine just float.

Power stroke is the only really heavy load...that drives all the bearing designs.
