Oooh,
Yes, we can eliminate the valves and spark plugs
altogether!
Just use a pair of on board matter transmitters (ala
Star Trek), and materialize the air and fuel from the
tank (in stoic proportion of course) directly into the
combustion chambers. Then just fire the phasers to
ignite the mixture! Of course, you'd have to replace
your DieHard with dilithium crystals to power this
stuff.
(Sorry, my last post on this I promise :)
Actually, I've wondered about all of the 'poppet valve
alternatives' mentioned, and few others too. But look
how long it took the Toyo-Kogyo engineers to nail down
the Wankel tip seal problems. Not impossible to do
these things, but takes a lot of R&D time and $$$.
If someone can make one of these schemes work, my
hat's off to them. Lot's of folks have succeeded where
others have said 'that won't work'. But it's not easy.
