Grail Engine Adopts Enerpulse Pulse Plugs for Forced Semi-Homogeneous Charged Compression Ignition in Concept Two-Stroke Engine

Green Car Congress

Unlike a spark ignition gas engine or diesel engine, HCCI produces a low-temperature, flameless release of energy throughout the entire combustion chamber. HCCI combustion can deliver a very efficient engine, potentially providing a 20% to 30% boost in gasoline engine efficiency without the NO x or PM emissions of a diesel.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Ricardo, which has been researching a split-cycle engine with cryogenic injection ( earlier post ), wrote the report chapter focusing on the potential of liquid air for transport applications. Nitrogen could be supplied from a modest-sized onboard tank or an onboard liquefier driven by the engine and boosted by regenerative braking.
