I have read and believed in the power of model diesels but what bothers me is that both methanol and kerosene has an energy rating of 48 foot/pound per inch ...
Chris where on earth did you come up with this "energy rating"?
Ray
Edited to correct spelling of "where".
Here Ray -
http://modelenginenews.org/
Under Model engine development. towards the back of that article in part 7.
And a direct quote "In model engine size although the base fuel energy of Methanol and
Paraffin when mixed at the correct air to fuel ratio is similar (48 ft lb per cubic inch)."
The rapid burn bit by Steve I understand well enough and accept.
Thanks.
