Default IR Laser Sparkplug

I'm serious.



Following collaborative work with Ford Motor Company (Dearborn, MI) and GSI Group (Rugby, England), engineers at The University of Liverpool (England) have reported encouraging results in their quest for laser ignition (LI) in automobile engines.
This is an interesting concept to say the least, imagine being able to aim the plasma center to the optimal spot within the combustion chamber, and having infinately variable timing, and more importantly, plasma duty cycle. Not sure how they're keeping the transfer lens clean. Article is linked below.
