If all works out they need to license this so the automakers will install the pistons at the factory.A New Diesel Piston That Increases Power And Reduces Emissions

I don wonder however the lifespan of such a feature due to carbon buildup on the piston crown.
If the "boundary layer" of air they claim works as intended, I would think it would maintain. They also use a proprietary ceramic piston crown coating which likely makes it much more difficult for soot and other accumulations to stick. I get your idea though.
I don't believe it. The increased surface area will result in more heat transfer.
I’m sure Cummins is closing factories and having a going out of business sale.

FWIW, I've been reading and watching some videos about Bugatti's use of a dimpled area on the roof of their Bolide. I'm nowhere near as technically oriented as some others here, and I tend to be optimistic about new tech, so I'm somewhat excited about this. I like Diesels, and I'd like to see them stay around a while longer and maybe have their complicated emissions systems become less complicated. Perhaps this can help ...
They lost me at "turbulators".
Turbo works for me and some NANO praticles thrown in. Well there is nothing better.
When they start installing this in new factory engine and I see full size diesel Pickups getting near 30 MPG on the highway I'll be a believer. Until then I will bid my time.
Seems like Mythbusters or someone did an 18 wheeler trailer dimpled like a golf ball? Found a link...

I used one of these on my 2001 Dodge Cummins. It increased my mileage to 132 mpg. Combined with an interocitor, it can power your house for free.
I've got no dog in this fight because I don't own a diesel, but just because one doesn't understand a technology doesn't mean it's not real.
Nobody understood nuclear fission, until the Manhattan Project. It's real even though you don't understand.
Nobody understood alternating current, until Nikola Tesla made it happen. AC made the world we know possible.
Internal combustion, once created in its infancy, is a simple process. That doesn't mean we've reached the pinnacle of understanding there, either.
The fact that this company has many third-party and OEM testing going on shows that there may be real merit to the technology. I highly doubt the improvements will be 25% on an average basis, but even at 5% think of the overall impact of what this could do to all of the diesel transportation modes. There are also other claimed emissions benefits. Their technology is patented, so at least it is a novel idea in this implementation. I'm at least willing to wait and see what gets developed! It's better than forcing the elimination of all ICEs and putting lithium pools all over this beautiful Earth just to ride in a pending Class D fire chariot!
