thoughts on "Singh" grooves (info inside)

info starts here http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/268551-2-3l-performance-3.html just wondering what some of your thoughts might be on it. Im skeptical to say the least.

I've seen those before somewhere...but I still don't completely understand how they work.

From what I have read it promotes flame travel to areas that dont get burnt thus promoting more complete burning of the air fuel mix and thus more power and cleaner emissions.

Apparently the Singh fellow is/was a motorcycle racer and he tried it and it worked on his motorcycle engines. He has applied for a patent,

US Patent 6237579 is applicable to any 2 or 4 cycle internal combustion engines featuring " Squish or Quench " concepts. The placement of one or more grooves or channels or passages in the squish area as shown & described in the first page of my US Patent 6237579 results in "Accelerated Laminar Total Clean Burn Combustion " out of any fuel ? Meaning to say, this simple but radical design change to squish areas & configurations enhances progressive turbulence in the charge close to the skin of the combustion chamber and further directs the (added) turbulence towards the igniter followed by multiple flame front propagation thus resulting in a radical change to " In-cylinder Combustion ". This technology is as radical a change to engine design as it was with the introduction of the ' quench ' concepts by Sir Harry Recardo almost 80 + years ago. ALTCBC improves " Torque & Power " through the entire operating range with lesser amounts of fuel. This simple design change "opens up" the combustion chamber to activity. Hi-Breds can now benefit from the enormus low-end torque produced out of smaller displacement engines to pull away with ease. Simplicity in design is the key to keeping costs down and pays on the long run !
After this simple design change ~ Obsolete Side Valve Engines which feature large quench areas have shown reductions of up to 42.5 % in fuel consumption ( BSFC) when fully loaded at 2000 rpm on the dyno further producing more torque & power at lower operating temperatures in comparison to a stock engine.

its interesting for sure...and if the results are as good as the claims then it would an easy power/mileage gain. If I had an engine I could do this to then I would give it a whirl.

I think I'm going to try that if I go to the JY in a few months (days)
