Lasers could replace spark plugs in car engines
|
sounds like a good idea if it works my only question is would it be practical on a cost standpoint, something that the article seemed to leave out.
|
The plugs we use make one of the rarest elements in the earths crust a consumable item. So, there may be some way to compete on cost.
OTOH, in these types of articles, researchers tend to hype their work because they are looking for funding. |
the thing that bothers me about this idea is that lasers need a lens - and what happens to that when the usual combustion chamber gunk gets caked all over it.....
