Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for vaporizing fuel is provided. The method comprises heating the fuel in a cylinder of an engine via radiation to vaporize the fuel without ignition. In this way, the fuel may be heated to increase vaporization efficiency prior to ignition.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for vaporizing fuel, comprising: heating the fuel in a cylinder of an engine via radiation via a laser coupled to the cylinder to vaporize the fuel without ignition; igniting the fuel in the cylinder with spark ignition; and adjusting a focus location of the laser based on injection timing relative to piston position. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting the focus location of the laser based on fue…
