    This has promise...

    Ducted fuel injection could be cost saving on many diesel applications...
    “This gives us a path to much lower emissions for diesel engines, solving a long-standing problem for this highly efficient technology,” he says.

    Yes - definitely innovative and promising. And, it looks like retrofitting our existing diesels can be done without high costs.

    That is not the original or main facility.


    From Wikapedia:

    Their primary mission is to develop, engineer, and test the non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons. The primary campus is located on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the other is in Livermore, California, next to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. There is also a test facility in Waimea, Kauai, Hawaii.[7]
    They have developed many notable contributions over the years---it is a skunk works with nice digs

    They are a division of Honeywell International--a company I have an affinity for.
