Experts Are Divided on the Best Way for Automakers to Hit Fuel Efficiency Targets
JAMES McCANDLESS – 9/14/2021 With all the talk about scaling up electric vehicle (EV) production, there has been relative silence on how to improve the internal combustion engine (ICE). Engineers have been working to improving ICEs for decades, improving fuel economy while simultaneously giving drivers access to more power. Dr. Dan Singleton, chief executive officer and co-founder of Transient Plasma …

FRANK MARCUS – 5/19/2020 Cutting-edge tech aims to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. When you boil it down, improving average fuel economy is super simple: Burn less fuel in the cylinder when cruising. Toward that end, engine developers have toiled to make lean mixtures work since way before Chrysler’s Electronic Lean-Burn System of the mid-’70s. But getting such mixtures to …
Plasma Ignition Making Progress – “Autoline Exclusives” Video Interview with TPS CEO Dan Singleton and host Sean McElroy
We’ve been using spark plugs to ignite fuel inside of engines for over 100 years. Maybe it’s time to change that. Transient Plasma Systems (TPS) developed a system that uses fast pulses of plasma, an electrically charged gas, at a low temperature to ignite all sorts of fuels. The low temperature improves thermal efficiency and the whole process requires less …
