The theoretical efficiency gain appears to be greater than the stated 14%. The article cites a video [1] which in turn cites 49% vs 63% maximum theoretical thermal efficiency for a traditional engine and for the Entry Ignition engine, respectively. That makes it a 14 percentage point increase which is 29% increase in efficiency.

- ksec 6y agoThank You I had the exact same question in mind. ~30% increase is a lot. I wonder how much more efficiency can we continue to squeeze out from ICE?
