but I can't find any info on what its doing to the flame front and how does it get more oxygen to help complete the burn.
The increase in drive pressure is caused by the combustion of the methanol, which increases the volume and heat of exhaust gases.Does anyone know if the lits out there now create too much or is the increase in drive pressure ofset by the reduction in cylinder temps?
There is a LOT of misinformation in that article.A lil info.
any idea where to read a study like this?
Not2Fast: Water Injection

Making it denser increasing power the meth acts as a cetane booster. much like 87 93 or 110.
There is a LOT of misinformation in that article.
"15-30% of the fuel not being burned during combustion" is false. The "15-30%" they quote is actually waste heat absorbed by the cooling system. This is common with EVERY engine, even today's modern engines.
"When the water particles enter the hot cylinder during intake, they absorb heat and convert to stream. The added mass to the combustion process helps to extend the downward force on the piston during the power stroke of the motor." Is also false. The volume of water taken in per intake stroke is too small to provide a measurable increase in combustion pressure. The increase in pressure comes from the combustion of the methanol.
The MPG increase is an illusion, the need for diesel is displaced by combustion of the methanol. Power output of the engine needed to propel the vehicle doesn't change.
