Eyes on diesel research

摘要

Using quartz and sapphire components, high-powered lasers, and scientific cameras researchers are able to see inside an operating engine, and that vision is proving to be a valuable aid for finding ways to reduce diesel emissions. "We can use the optical engine as a tool to get visual data, to get quantitative data, and to better understand the physical processes that are occurring in a standard metal engine," said Julian Kashdan, Research Engineer in the Energy.
