I just watched the video. Can anyone answer these questions?
What prevents the burning from getting into the mixing chamber? It seems like the sliding valve is open while it’s burning. And there’s higher pressure in the cylinder.
What prevents the mixing chamber gas from getting into the compression reservoir?
- MontagFTB 6y agoI can’t answer the second question, but as to the first my understanding from the video is that the ignition cylinder starts out as much lower pressure that the fuel/air chamber, and as the slide valves open the mixture naturally moves from high to low pressure. The heat contained within the cylinder starts the ignition of the mixture upon entry (hence the name of the engine). I don’t understand how the heat differential between the injection and ignition phases is so great that ignition happens as the slide valve opens, but so little that ignition doesn’t happen within the fuel injection chamber. Perhaps the pressure differential regulates that as well?
