An interesting picture! How would the richer mixture enter the area with the spark plug?

Apologies, I should have annotated the thing. There's a small port that's exposed when the outer pintle pushes forward. It'a in the sketch ,but easy to miss. I see no reason why, instead of having the chamber integrated with the injector, you can't branch it off into a hydraulic passage with a one way valve... so as soon as the injector opens a remote pre-chamber gets fed. There's another one I have that uses one driver that reverses direction to essentially do the same thing. (I have no idea if that's possible)

The first image shows a port injector plus a pre-chamber injector. The rules specify a single direct injector only.

Is it possible we have been misinterpreting that rule? Could it mean "only one direct injector plus port injectors as required"?

That solves our all questions

Having a Japanese reader would be nice, but i think it might just be illustrating the difference between an active an passive jet-producing pre-chamber. My hunch is Honda is doing a wall guided pre-chamber for 2018, with a piston nipple with grooves ala orange juicer .

Is it MGU-H deployment shown in the graphs? The 2016-2017 difference is massive during the Spanish gp..

My mate who used to design natural gas engines informs me that's a PPPC - permanent passive prechamber that they've been using for about 10 years in large SI engines (the image at the bottom).

Can't wait to get back from holiday and have a proper good look at these pics - great stuff.

What stood out was the fact that they gave up on log manifolds even though the weight and space penalty must have been considerable. It also seems to indicate that the tuned manifold outweighs the benefits of reduced heat losses and better blowdown recovery of a log type manifold. Or maybe the reason was purely durability related as very short runners are notorious for high thermal stresses ?

I always wondered how they supported the turbo and MGUH without causing it to deform as the block expanded - it appears they are using some sort of droplink with Heim joints.

The article is really intersting to read,all about technology,from the HRD engineer.
I really hope someone could post the translation here,i am so busy recently and has no time to do this.

I'm pretty sure they are showing the 2 vs 1 injector TJI method.
It talks about how the previously presented documents use 2 injectors but the rules for F1 are for 1 injector and one spark plug.
The second image is the "1 injector" method. i.e. the F1 legal method.

Drag racers have been doing this since 60s. Toyota has had dual injection the last 4 years, GM just joined the party with the ZR1.

That's funny I suggested Honda was doing something like this earlier in the year.

Although the drawing is so crude I can understand if no one got the point.

I got what you were saying if it makes you feel any better

Rules say no injectors upstream or downstream of the intake or exhaust ports. So they just have really clever system.

There are no port injectors. Direct Injection only.
Otherwise TJI would be "easy"

It looks like they were getting extra harvesting by routing the MGUK recovery through the MGUH after they met the 2MJ limit. This was suggested by some on here a 'few' pages back. It also means that they must be driving the MGUK by the ICE more often than we thought. The calculated brake regen at 100% was never close to 2MJ.

It looks like the MGUK is motoring the entire time the car is accelerating, though. The MGUH generation looks like it is lot better than in 2016.
