"[using] Mr. Singh's invention, the yearly national fuel savings would equal the amount of oil America imports from the Persian Gulf."

We are witnessing the culmination of resource depletions of every commodity on Earth in a massive scale alongwith senseless  burn-ups of Oxygen all over to keep us mobile and warm. At this point of time my Groovy technology is the only affordable solution  as ' New or Retrofits ' that has emerged over time, regardless of some people's personal issues and their scientific merits to disprove it. Proof just keeps rolling in all the time. How many independent results equal positive findings ? When does the World take notice and see for ' Themselves ' just how good and simple the Grooves  are ? At this point of time  We do offer definitive solutions  to bring down Global Warming & CO2 releases ! As none seem to be worried or effected by  such issues ? We are sure you will find the same " things " that others have found after grooving .. Increased Torque, Increased Low-End Power and Overall Fuel Savings with Lower Emissions, resulting in much cleaner engines with  lower operating temperatures and the capacity for unusually efficient engine " Tune Ups "  without the dreaded  " Knock or Ping "  !      Some call this movement ~ " A Single Straw Revolution " !  Hoping to bring about some positive changes around us.  

Until viable alternative Fuels & Energy sources are Discovered or Invented, we will have to deal with " Air Breathing "  Internal Combustion Engines burning up Petroleum products along with 15 POUNDS of AIR for every pound of fuel used up.  Even IF advancements such as Bio-Fuels &  Hydrogen Gas did come in to replace Oil we would still need plenty of Air to Oxidize all this fuel into Power !!  Millions of drivers will not be able to afford new vehicles, even with ZERO percent financing For the moment,  large scale improvements in Engine Efficiency out of existing engines is most essential for our long term economic independence and social well being. Or Else ?? It is a real" Up - Hill Task " for most of us !

Read on !     Squish, Squash & finally Squashed ! ! !

US Patent 6237579 is applicable to any 2 or 4 cycle internal combustion engines featuring " Squish or Quench " concepts. The placement of one or more grooves or channels or passages in the squish area as shown & described in the first page of my US Patent 6237579 results in "Accelerated Laminar Total Clean Burn Combustion " out of any fuel ? Meaning to say, this simple but radical design change to squish areas & configurations enhances progressive turbulence in the charge close to the skin of the combustion chamber and further directs the (added) turbulence towards the igniter followed by multiple flame front propagation thus resulting in a radical change to " In-cylinder Combustion ". This technology is as radical a change to engine design as it was with the introduction of the ' quench ' concepts by Sir Harry Ricardo almost 80 + years ago.  ALTCBC improves " Torque & Power " through the entire operating range with lesser amounts of fuel. This simple design change "opens up" the combustion chamber to activity. Hy-Brids can now benefit from enormous low-end torque produced out of smaller displacement engines to pull away with ease. Simplicity in design is the key to success in keeping down costs and pays for itself on the long run in a big way !

After this simple design change ~ Obsolete Side Valve Engines which feature large quench areas have shown reductions of up to 42.5 % in fuel consumption ( BSFC) when fully loaded at 2000 rpm on the dyno further producing more torque & power at lower operating temperatures in comparison to a stock engine. ( ARAI Test Results )

If the fuel inputs had dropped that drastically - What do you think the outcomes of  " CO2 & Emissions " ~ Could or Would be ~ Out of grooved engines ? And the impact all this will have on " Carbon Credit "    ...... and its  earnings in the future ?

"Remember the most important factor in increasing engine performance and efficiency is to create " maximum turbulence "  in the compression chamber."--Engine Legend Pat Goodman

This simple cost effective design change has the same dramatic effects on dual-fuel applications too & can accept much higher compression ratios on standard gas with out the interference of knock or pri-ignition. This design change requires minute in-puts to optimize the size & location of the grooves along with compatible compression ratios to optimize existing 2 or 3 or 4 & 5 valve combustion chamber designs. These changes are close to ' Zero cost inputs ' when it comes to mass scale production - Costing almost  " Nil "  as additional costs. The only other costs to be considered are " Licensing & Royalties " for the use of IPR.?

Lots of debates are on to figure out how this design could be achieving these advantages over normal squish & quench concepts. Lets leave the ' Indepth Study ' to the learned & see if they can improve upon it any further ? While this design is ready for implementation & is sure to make a Big Big difference to the Motoring World in the form of fuel savings considering the Cost of Crude Oils going past $ 100+ along-with the Effects of Global Warming taking over in a Big way ? Effecting all of us & the rest on the Planet too !   Some call it  ~ " The Dimming Sun " ! ? ! ( Check it out on the net, it is for real ! ) A lot more Surprises are awaited in time to come . . . ? For Starters ~ There is three times more frozen CO2 hidden under the melting glaciers & sheets of age old ice waiting to surface ..... This will bring about sudden changes in the Poles ?

 As a reminder - This design literally " Spells & Achieves "~ " More out of Less " involving the least inputs into existing engine designs.

We believe ~ " A Stitch In Time, Can Save Nine & More "  ?
What Good Are " Discoveries & Inventions " ~  If They Are Not Put To Use ?

" The Answer My Friend . . .  Is Blowing In The Wind  ......  !!! "  The essence of life called “Crude Oils“ soaring past  $ 100 + mark has dampened the Global Spirit of well being. Most average motorists are in a dizzy of what awaits them as ‘ Future Shock ‘ ! While the Automobile Industry fully anticipating these hikes are going " Full Steam Ahead " stamping out Millions of ‘ Wonder Machines ‘ of every conceivable shape and size to promote & pacify the needs of personalized transportation like never before.  All this hyper-activity has led to full house parking lots sending most of us on merry go-rounds like never before ? To add to all this, the existing " ON THE RUN " One Billion + I C Engines ticking away Globally are pushing the demands for Fuel & Oil beyond the reach of supply making Crude Oils even more expensive than the automobile itself ?

' How’s that ' for an equation ? Global Oil Sales each year are exceeding $1500 + Billion mark with Exxon Mobil alone showing a full year revenue of $ 371 + Billion.  Sooner then later all this Oil is sure to burn up & turn intoSmoke & CO2 " and hang in the air for a while 

Did you know One Gallon Of Fuel
burns up enough AIR to let out almost 20 Lbs of CO2 back into the air from the tail pipe ?
Did you know One Litre of Petrol burns up enough Air to produce almost 2.5 Kgs of CO2 out of in-cylinder combustion !

It is high time we act with responsibility to enlighten the World At Large, about our shortcomings and our own makings that have brought about these life styles of " Burn-Ups & Burn-Outs."  Not to forget the very air we ' breathe in ' is polluted by excessive CO2 and harmful emissions alongwith many other Monoxides & Die-Oxides & Trioxides descending from the skies each night ? Added to all the Jumbo-Jets flying overhead contributing to the rest of the " high altitude fallouts & hangouts "  of CO2 & Jet Trails causing " Global Warming out of  Heat Trapping " ! 

All the fuel we have burned up in the last 100 years has come from beneath. We need to remind ourselves – Knowingly or Unknowingly, we are burning up fossil fuels “ A Hundred Thousand Times Fasterthan what it took Nature to Oyster this Oil in the first place. As responsible Citizens of this Planet we need to leave behind adequate fuel and resources for our next generations to explore the pleasures of personalized transportation – Or else our generation will be blamed for these senseless acts that we are committing & executing in style, each moment, as though tomorrow never  existed  ! ?   The Human Race in their quest to conquest are burning up vast quantities of valuable Life Supporting ' Oxygen ' in the air at a much faster pace than what  Nature can handle in " breaking down " these excessive bi-products of  CO2 & Trash floating around us, ending up ' tipping ' the very balance of existence on Mother Earth for all of us !.? 

This is not the way out Sir, ….. ?    No !  No ! !  No ........ 

The World is heading the wrong way for sure ! On Every Count we humans are thoughtlessly Injuring & Killing Nature that has supported our very existence on Mother Earth all this while ! Soon the Energy in the Air will start to diminish . . . failing to support Life !  It is high time we looked at simple solutions floating around us rather than digging up a big " Pit " to bury our past !  Even small changes can have large long-term consequences on ecological systems and  humans. The recent  UN reports on Global Warming must be running "cold sweat " in most Industrial & Political Circles...  While the rest of the World is waking up to the Truth !  Of what awaits us. . . in time to come ? I am reminded about the sand clock running out of  sand on the top end and the Gravity of the situation taking over ?
" Global Warming " is a living concern to ' one & all ' as the days go by !

Humanity " Thinks " we have solutions for everything on Earth ! It is the reverse ? We are the " Problem " for every-thing else on EARTH !

Have you considered working with  
Colorado State University's Envirofit 
 
They have a two stroke retrofit kit to convert 2 stroke engines into 4 stroke engines. Your technology is complementary to what they are doing to clean up pollution.

2020 Hindsight
Written by Richard on 2007-06-01 15:33:14
In the year 2020 I will be 90 years old and most likely no longer driving an automobile so it will make little difference what the MPG is by then. But to those it does matter they have had automobiles and light trucks which have gotten more than 35 MPG and 30 MPG which they could have bought but did not. In 1980 Isuzu had a I Mark coupe and sedan about the same size as a BMW compact which got 40 MPG gas,and 54MPG in the diesel model. My 1982 Toyota diesel pick up was getting 38 to 42 MPG, several light pick ups were getting 30 MPG. There are several 
compact to mid size automobiles being sold right now which can get 30 to 35MPG,same is true of light trucks. Americans have been brain washed by the auto industry into buying large SUV,pick up trucks. Plus the fact the manufacturers make higher profits selling larger vehicles. 
By 2020 there will be more vehicles than there are now,which means regardless of the MPG .they Will be burning even more fuel than we are burning now.Hopefully burning it cleaner,but I doubt if they can do much if things remain the same as now. Bush has added a new factor to clean air. It is called Political Hot Air. He makes speeches,although his lips are moving he is really saying nothing. Just blowing smoke and hot air. The State of California is taking the Environmental Protective Agency to U.S.Supreme Court to force them to enforce the clean air laws already on the books. The court ordered EPA to enforce the law. What I want to do is get a law on the book which sets standards on the percentage of unburnt fuel emissions coming out of the cylinder head. not the tail pipe. Where the percentage of combustion is used as a pollution measurement standard. Clean air standards in California are strictly enforced. There you are subject to be stopped on the street,or highway and having your anti pollution devices checked. Fail to pass and they will fine you,and make you repair the problem before you can drive your automobile again. 
Do not pay any attention to Bush for he is just blowing political smoke to cloud the fact he has done nothing,and will not be doing anything now. Smoke and Hot Air.

Being an automobile enthusiast I love to keep my cars running in perfect condition. This Mr. Vinay of Rai Motors, Bangalore helps me achieve to satisfaction.  
 
Having heard & read quite a bit about legendary Mr. Singh and his Invention in the local enthusiasts' circles, I went through his website and tried my hand after understanding the concept of Grooving displayed in detail. I decided to try this first on my old Kinetic Honda as an experiment. Having cut the necessary grooves on the head, I was wondering how some thing so simple can really bring about a big difference. To my surprise when I started the vehicle for the first time after Grooving I was amazed to feel & hear the significant noticeable changes in the running of the engine. The vehicle now has increased performance in terms of throttle response and pickup. Further I found that there was atleast a 15 to 20 % increase in the fuel efficiency in my city riding. Moreover the engine ran much smoother and less hotter than it used to. The smoke levels also dropped. Some times I wonder if all the 2 stroke Auto Rickshaws in Banglore were grooved ? What would be the air quality to breath in ? 
 
This was a mind blowing experience for me. The only thought that crossed my mind was.if this little mod on an old 2 stroke scooter could bring about such a dramatic change what would it do to my Hi-Tech car. I could only imagine the kind of performance boost grooving could deliver. I made a personal request to Mr. Singh to implement this technology on my car which I thought was best done by the Master than me attempting it and easily messing it up. .  
Mr. Singh asked me to bring over my Opel Corsa Sail 1.6 ( That has about 45K kms on the clock ) He said he will do his best with what little he has. The car used to give me an average mileage of about 8 kms to a litre of petrol, ( With on & off A/C ) with an awkward intake roar, and felt absolutely sluggish although it has a big MPFI engine in a small car. The performance, I felt was mismatched for the claims made by GM. After eagerly waiting for 5 days, Mr. Singh called me to come over and collect my vehicle which had been transformed with the Groove Technology. 
 
Believe me when I say that the drive back from Mysore to Bangalore was absolutely a pleasure. I couldn't believe that it was the same old car I was driving. The throttle response was simply brilliant ! I didn't have to step on the throttle any more, mere touch was enough to get the rpm steadily increase by itself, without the need to floor the throttle. I can now get the same performance as flooring the throttle half way by just touching and lightly stepping on the throttle. I feel huge amounts of Torque coming from lower rpm's. Torque can be felt even in Overdrive from 1000 + rpm onwards on a flat road. The intake roar has disappeared and I was able to get an astounding 15+ kms to the litre driving at average speeds of in excess of 100/120 kmph on the highway. A/C loading doesn't seem to matter any more, also the engine runs much cooler and smoother. The car felt so free that it made me think that earlier I was driving my car with my hand brakes on. Thanks Mr. Singh I now truely understand the word ' Transformed ' better as I began to enjoy the benefits. The vehicle is much faster, smoother, quicker, more fuel-efficient, and definitely more environmentally & driver friendly. Thank you Mr. Singh my plans to buy a new car are shelved !

Some fool at malah.kstc.info that WHOIS indicates has the following email address:  
has chosen to screw things up for everyone by abusing our comments section. Now because of dozens of links and ridiculous spam we have been forced to close of access to all unregistered people. Once this fool either leaves or explains why there is nothing at these domains, we will be forced to close off access.

can grooving be done with out any mods? Please give me some clear info if there is!

Indica's cost of deelopment was 50% to 33% of the same cost for any internatioal model - which is a big advantage with Indian technology. This one, if it is passed by all international protocols of safety and standards; it should be get corporate patronage. Then only technology will reach people.

Mr. Singh. It is definitely a great achievement. I wonder why the car manufactrers are being so myopic and not trying this out, if this is proven.

The Gypsy rolls on...
Written by Guest on 2006-08-23 09:01:44
Dear Singh, 
 
After the work that you did on the Gypsy King, I have noticed the following four 
improvements: 
 
1. Increased fuel efficiency of 20% (or possibly more if the Gypsy was 
driven more on highways). From the existing fuel consumption parameter of 
6.8 km/litre, the efficiency improved to about 8.3 km/litre. As a 
consequence, in the last 65 days, we have saved about Rs. 3,450 in fuel 
costs. 
2. Significantly lower tail pipe effluent. 
3. Noticeable reduction in engine noise 
4. No 'knocking' even when driving at top gear at 20 km per hour. 
 
In all, a better drive. 
This note is just to thank you for making such a fine effort. I hope to be 
in touch with you on the Santro as well sometime in end Sept. 
 
 
Warm regards, 
Gopakumar
