I guess it's a sign of the times that so many people know so little
about how diesels operate and what Glow Plugs do?
IMO, diesel technology is superior to gasoline tech and last time I
checked, diesels were getting 20-30% better MPGs than gas. But it's
been a whole since I checked -

IIRC higher temps result in more nitrous oxides.

The efficiency of a heat engine is related to the difference between its
high (source) temperature and its low (sink) temperature.
could this be a scam looking for investors to fill their bank with cash
so they can then disappear? Seems risky when getting involved with the
securities organizations around the world. But once they get the cash
they might find their technology isn't as advanced as they say?

I'm trying to figure out this approach. Are they claiming that they get
complete combustion at a lower temperature? How would that be beneficial?
If less of the fuel's energy is lost as heat, that could increase the
efficiency? Lower combustion = lower NO emissions?

Interesting - need to watch this . . .

As tightening emission rules force the car industry to embrace battery
power, a German startup says it has the technology to give the combustion
engine a reprieve.
