4. Problem 4-Stroke engines are inefficient Implement a 2nd power cycle
Use less fuel while maintaining power
Water injection system
Electrically Controlled Engine

5. Major Accomplishments
Head Design Complete
Drawn up in AutoCAD
Currently being fabricated by HighLight Industries

6. Major Accomplishments
Solenoid
Speed and force calculations complete
Solenoid specified and ordered
Current testing is underway-looks good
Solenoid Control

7. Major Accomplishments
Lotus Simulation
Model single cylinder engine
Fully customizable

8. Major Obstacles Cam Sensors Ordered 2 Wired up and tested
Checked by several independent sources
Have a theory to explain
Going to have an apparatus laser-cut to continue testing

9. Major Design Decisions
Scope of Project
Change from doing a 6-stroke engine to split up into smaller projects
First to an ECU on the existing 4-stroke engine
Then implement for the 6-stroke

10. Design Norms Safety Transparency Stewardship
Do not hurt end user (or us)
Transparency
No black box with smoke and mirrors
Public data available for continued research
Stewardship
Increased energy efficiency
Monitor changes in emissions
