    Interesting article Thom,

    What I read that was interesting was the varying depth of fire...help reduce pollution. Also I don't know if they have these in New York, but might even be able to do away with the EGR.

    I'm guessing here, but seems like it might help (with a more efficient combustion) get rid of quite a bit of smog related crap.

    800 trillionths of a second long. crazy.

    Remember the split fires? I thought they where a good idea at the time.
    But I never really was able to register a viable difference with them.
    With the variable depth ignition, that's a whole new ball game.
