Superb fuel atomization.

    Not if you inject the fuel into another high pressure air injector.  The
orbital version of direct injection works very very well imo.  The mixture that
is fired out of the air injector is supposedly below 10 microns 80% of the
time.  It makes for a super quick, clean burn.  They quote being able to run a
70:1 mixture at light load, dunno about that one though, and huge peformance,
emmissions, and fuel economy improvements.  They are making automotive
applications now too, sounds very good to me.

Though I'm not sure how to get my hands on a system like this one.
