Cool project... Anybody read the paper?
You can tell it was done like most college projects: Each group member writes a portion of the report. About the middle of the paper, a non-native English speaker takes over the report... grammar and spelling go to sh*t, along with the readability of the paper. It hurt my brain to continue on from that point. Don't throw too much respect at MIT if these kids can't even have someone review their about to be published technical report.....

Agreed, this was pretty brutal:
"To install this system on a 2 strokes engine is not simple
because the totality of the circuit must be review and
keep the original performance is difficult .To have more
information to install this system we found a schematic
that explains in details all of the components that must
be modified to accommodate it. See figure XX in
appendix. Thus, the major component to modify is the
engine’s head. The initial position of the spark plugs on
our engine is at center of the cylinder (Sees pictures xx).
With the Synerject system, the injectors and the spark
plug make an angle of 30° with a vertical axe. This new
configuration causes a lot of problem to keep the
functionality of the engine. To eliminate this problem we
decided to design a new engine’s head. With design we
are sure that the position of the components is right and
that the sealing is preserved. Here is the new engine’s
head:"
Makes my head hurt too.
