The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in terms of the reduction of emissions and the fuel savings on any motorcycle with this cylinder head design, and possibly also any internal combustion engine with this cylinder head design. A vast majority of the world's internal combustion engine-driven fleet today are operated without requiring any emission-improving devices such as catalytic converters or fuel injection. The proposed technology reduces emissions and increases gas mileage without requiring any emission-improving equipment. The proposed cylinder head design could also increase the engine performance as an added benefit. This project has the potential for producing progressively local, national, and even global impact.The intellectual merit of this project is in the whole new way of thinking about how fuel burns inside the internal combustion engine. Additionally, there are new ideas about the flow of air and the combustion process of the cylinder head. This project is a newly designed, divided combustion chamber cylinder head, in which more of the fuel is burned inside the chamber, resulting in significantly lower output of emissions gases; namely hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. The objective of this research is to prove these results on a 500cc motorcycle with the newly designed cylinder head installed. The motorcycle will be taken to an emissions lab to be tested for emissions as well as for gas mileage. It will be tested with catalytic converters installed, and again without catalytic converters, to show results using emission-improving devices as well as results of its stand-alone merit.

该小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力在于减少任何采用这种气缸盖设计的摩托车的排放和节省燃料，也可能包括任何采用这种气缸盖的内燃机设计。 如今，世界上绝大多数内燃机驱动的车队在运行时不需要任何排放改善装置，例如催化转化器或燃油喷射。 拟议的技术可以减少排放并增加汽油里程，而不需要任何排放改善设备。拟议的气缸盖设计还可以提高发动机性能，作为额外的好处。该项目有可能逐渐产生地方、国家甚至全球影响。该项目的智力价值在于以全新的方式思考燃料在内燃机内的燃烧方式。 此外，关于空气流动和气缸盖燃烧过程也有新的想法。 该项目采用全新设计的分体式燃烧室气缸盖，更多的燃料在燃烧室内燃烧，从而显着降低废气排放量；即碳氢化合物、一氧化碳、氮氧化物和二氧化碳温室气体。本研究的目的是在安装了新设计的气缸盖的 500cc 摩托车上证明这些结果。 摩托车将被带到排放实验室进行排放和油耗测试。它将在安装催化转换器的情况下进行测试，并再次在不安装催化转换器的情况下进行测试，以显示使用排放改进装置的结果以及其独立优点的结果。
