This is not JUST SOME GUY, he was a rocket scientist for NASA,
BTW WHO ARE YOU? poignant, you are that JUST SOME GUY. Sorry to rail on those who think they know everything, as we say in the Military, "TOE THE LINE, OR GET SMOKED".
For the senior members see if you can comprehend this as most of you wont.
In fluid dynamics there is a phenomenon created when air passes a corner, whether a building or groove, the air is torn apart into a violent vortex which is also known as wind shear.
It is this concept that make use of in wind energy. Normally it is an undesired effect that you don't want a conventional horizontal axis turbine running in the wake created by another turbine, as you all should know that jets practically fall out of the sky when flying into another jets' wake.
The newest prototype urban wind turbines use this vortex effect to run vertical axis turbines on city buildings, making use of the one effect that destroys others.
Putting a groove WITH corners, not multi-angle as in a valve job, again makes use of what would normally be the undesired effect, vortex,wake and shear.
As all you so-called experts should know there is already an oxymoron in the ICE, where we are trying to mix 2 essential components to create the heat expansion, of course it is the temperature differential converted to rotary power that we see as POWER.
We have 1 component :fuel (gas, enthanol,etc.)the combustible fuel ,that is in LIQUID state, and the other essential component which is not air, but the OXYGEN in the air that has to be present in order to support the combustion event, that is in a GAS(gaseous not truncated for gasoline) form.
With this mis-match of phase states (google search and you will find) it is nearly impossible to get the stoichiometric ratio of 14:1, again except for the senior members you need to dig back into the books, or google.
Now for anyone still keeping up (very doubtful), you should be able to put 2+2=4?
Are you sure those grooves can't be proven to be beneficial using science? (in Greek it means 'knowledge')
