That's one of those ideas that's so simple and yet so brilliant. I love it.
There's a really cool duality to this if it plays out the way I think it might.
When diesels first came out they needed a supercharger to run. Two stroke diesels with the ports in the sides of the cylinder walls didn't have the ability to create sufficient suction and keep the intake port sealed off during combustion, so they absolutely had to be force fed.
I wonder how long it'll be before they stop designing intake port head flow to ever work in a vacuum/ And I wonder what that'll do the shape of the posts.
