Just because large corporations or organizations with huge R/D budgets aren't doing something doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Money doesn't turn ineptitude to cleverness.
that being said, this may/may not be a good idea.
in the article Mr. Singh claimed that after he cut some grooves in the cylinder head of a motorcycle he was racing, it ran drastically cooler. This is the primary advantage of his systemÔÇöcooler running, more thermally efficient motors.
ehh, not so much. he's shopped the idea around to a lot of companies, and they've all given him an answer similar to RJ's 'snake oil' reaction. Can't really blame them, when someone from a dirt-floored workshop in India with no formal education comes to them claiming to have revolutionized the internal combustion engine. right.
his ideas make sense. There isn't anything inherently wrong with them, and if his claims are true, this is a technology worth pursuing. The reason they haven't been implemented has nothing to do with their own merit.
