If Bruce Crowler has anything to do with it.... It will be neat and I will listen... I have run the guys cams before and he Knows his way around an engine.

This is just part of the stuff that will be happening with internal combustion engines.   Seems possible to have a 500 hp engine that gets 50 mpg.

Very interesting, but it looks like there are several hurdles to be worked out before it's practical.

you want engineering breakthrough, check out bombardier/evinrudes fuel injected 2 cycle outboard engine.

less weight
more torque
more mpg
lower emissions
less maintenance

and it's not vaporware, you can buy them now.

its something that's been talked about alot. No one up till now has been able to come up with a good way to harness the heat/energy that is basicly lost into the atmosphere. Pretty cool.

Holy Cow!

Engine if it's only 6 strokes, I have no doubt it's "infamous".

You sure? Have you counted lately?

Oh..wait..wtf am I thinking?  Fewer strokes = more sleep for me.

Damnit!

Engine, once again you have proven to me that you are indeed a GENIUS!

This looks like a really cool idea, and a potentially big leap in engine efficiency/

Can anybody who's an engine expert tell me how this differs from what I've heard called 'water injection'?  I know water injection has been around since the 30's-40's.  What is the fundamental difference in Crower's technology?

Water injection only cools down the mixture going to combustion, crower uses the waste heat to produce a steam engine like extra work cycle if I understood right.
