Default RE: What allows Kingtech to use diesel where others say you can't?

Seems to me that as interesting as the theoretical stuff can be in it's own right (at least I think it's fascinating) , what we need is for more folks with reliable measuring equipment to do their own tests and report back here with some answers regarding the following:

1) Does Diesel make more thrust than kero in a given engine during repeated, back to back runs?
2) What were the exact fuel flows, in terms of both weight and volume, at max thrust during those runs?


After all, the only thing we really care about at the end od the day is how much thrust we get and how much weight in fuel we need to carry around to make that thrust, right?

Oli, weigh in any time here my man. You guys at RCJI have always done a bang-up job at this stuff, so how about it? Please?
