Have you seen the same idea before ?

No, again I had worked at the Patent office and prior art is the #1 reason most patents are rejected. That you took what was already available and applied it to a rotary engine, whether you were the first person to do it or not, is just applying existing concepts and not patent worthy imo. I'm only asking the question to see what I might be missing. Not sure what you're afraid of by obviously avoiding answering it? :dunno:

Team, True, but your comment presumes leveraging W/M to tune for higher boost &/or timing, right?

In the interest of reliability...what are the drawbacks or issues of WM injection purely as det control, carbon cleaning, and potentially EGT reduction?

As I understand it, aside from poor tuning... heat is the death knell of our engines. Therefore, anything which c/b done to proactively remove heat is good, no?

sorry, I wasted too much time on this thread already, you can chase ghosts and phantoms on your own.

Team out ...
