The development potential of spark ignition engines

H-J Forster, +1 more
- 05 Apr 1980 - 
TL;DR: The dominant position of the spark ignition engine worldwide is due to the following characteristics: high brake mean effective pressure and high maximum speed (which result in high torque and high power-to-swept volume ratio); low weight and low bulk volume for a given power demand; smooth and low-noise operation; low cost per unit of power output; and possibility of operation with different fuels, including gasoline, liquified petroleum gas, alcohol, natural gas, liquifer gas, and hydrogen as mentioned in this paper.
