no matter what happens, combustion engines can only have a maximum of ~21% (correct me if i'm wrong) efficiency.

But.. on average, once you throw all the emissions crap on there (EGR, air pump, etc) it is down around 20%... so that's where your ~21% comes in.
Look up a six-stroke engine... then you get into the 40% efficiency range. No cooling system required either!

My buddy's got a 500mW fine beam laser.
It's powerful enough to light up buildings across burrard inlet, or to cause instant blindness.

Interesting idea. I wonder how much of a real world difference it will make? I also wonder how they'll get around carbon buildup fouling the lense? Maybe the lenser will be self cleaning in a sense if the beam can burn through the carbon. Quote:

Or a new engine technology altogether?

Wowsers. Just when you thought the M3 sparkplug appeared to be at its limit using its own processor, this comes along.
Looks a like decent Sunday night read.
