Homogoneous Charge Compression Ignition
HCCI
It's coming !!!!
NO, HCCI is not a gasoline engine that works like a diesel.
HCCI combusiton can occur with either diesel fuel or gasoline.
HCCI is Homogoneous Charge Compression Ignition. This is opposed to Homogoneous Charge Spark Ignition (gasoline) or Stratified Charge Compression Ignition (diesel) - current technology.
HCCI means that there is no flame front. The air and fuel uniformly combust.
Think of it as spontaneous combustion as opposed to starting a fire with a match.

This really excites me! Almost as much as the DI V8 they're working on. It seems that they might still have some work to do on that tech, though. The vehicles can only get up to, what? 45 did they say? before the spark plug has to kick in.
