Neat idea. I wonder if these would change our timing any?? Since they
have 3 different places where they ignite the mixture in the cylinder,
there wouldn't be just one flame front, but three so the mixture would
burn quicker. Just wondering. Anyway, I'm done thinking about it.

The idea of starting flame travel in more than one place could possibly make
existing cyl head combustion chamber technology extinct and open up a whole
new world of performance. Spark plugs that could focus is a fairly bold
concept IMHO.

Wow, $24,000* for a set of plugs, what an idea.
* based on cost of small, high power lasers I've worked with.
