Re: Smokeys Hot Vapour/Adiabatic engine

High mileage carburation has been around for some time. Pogue(35) and Fish(34) were some of the early pioneers. Their models were to introduce only vapor to the engine!! Their patent papers make for interesting reading. Their lead ins were all about improving mileage,altering the mixture at different speeds(drivability), and improved startup . These papers came from a high mileage seminar I attended back in the 80s. I have a few drawings of my own design, which one day I hope make a working model. Started them a time or two, but couldn't complete because I hadn't learned to TIG weld at the time.
