Several engine technology advances show potential in labs. Part 2. J.J. McCoy and B. Wilson. Pipe Line Ind., July 1994, 77(7), 51--59.

Techniques for cutting fuel consumption and reducing emissions from stationary gas engines are reviewed. Advanced ignition systems including a precombustion chamber, chambered spark plugs, and efficient electrical systems are discussed. A pulsed plasma-jet igniter (PPJI) is described and illustrated. Benefits and erosion limits of the PPJI are considered. Fuel injection techniques are also discussed and an electronic fuel injection valve is described. This allows automatic load rebalancing and provides other benefits. Pneumatic and hydraulic actuators are described and pressure-based controls are discussed. Artificial intelligence neural networks are described. 33 refs.
