Though the efficiency of the design has been improved upon significantly in the intervening years, the basic concept is the same today as that... Crower is good for something. ---

That is very interesting. I would like to know more: 1. Do the timing gears have a 3:1 ratio instead of 2:1 since it is 6 stroke? 2. Also, how many valves does it have? 3? 1 intake and 1 exhaust for gas and 1 more valve for steam exhaust. 3. Or does it need a 4th valve, so the water injection power cycle gets air, too? ---

water injection is direct like a diesel, normal valve operation, cams are 3:1. ---

This might be a repost…I think I saw it once before. anyhoo… What would be really cool would be to take a VW TDI, gear the cam 3:1 then lower the compression, install a different intake manifold with MPFI + plumb that up, then replace the diesel fuel with water. As for the computer, you’d need to write all custom software. Doable.
