Mazdas Upcoming Skyactiv X Compression Ignition Engine Promises Diesel Like Fuel Economy. Mazdas powertrain team has brewed up a fancy new engine that, like a diesel, uses compression to activate the combustion process. In a press release on the new tech, Mazda tells us just how staggering the benefits of this worlds first technology might be. Set to debut in 2. Skyactiv X is Mazdas next generation engine that uses Spark Controlled Compression Ignition. In other words, its a homogenous charge compression ignition engine sometimes, but it seamlessly changes over to a regular spark ignition engine under certain engine operating conditions. The Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, or more simply IFA, started out as a showcase for new TV and radio technology and has debuted things like the first. Mazdas powertrain team has brewed up a fancy new engine that, like a diesel, uses compression to activate the combustion process. In a press release on the new. To say that No Mans Sky had a troubled launch would be a massive understatement. Even as someone who generally had a good time with the game then, I had to admit.

So once you have become a VIP or CEO, bought a bunker, bought a mobile operations center, upgraded that mobile center to have a weapon workshop, then upgrade a weapon. Yesterdays rally of neoNazis, Klansmen, and socalled altright activists predictably devolved into violence. One antifascist protester and two police. Mazda may be well on its way to introducing a new Mazda. Read more Read. Mazda says the new tech combines the advantages of gasoline and diesel engines to achieve outstanding environmental performance, power and acceleration performance. And if those words arent good enough for you, Mazdas thrown out a few numbers. Together with a supercharger, the compression ignition engine can allegedly yield 1. Skyactiv G engines. Granted, the existing Skyactiv G motors are naturally aspirated, so youd expect more torque, here. What you wouldnt expect, though, is 2. Skyactiv G, a benefit that Mazda says is a product of the new engines super lean burn. Compared with Mazdas 2. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that the purveyors of Zoom Zoom claim the new engines fuel efficiency equals or exceeds that of the latest Skyactiv D turbodiesel engine. Mmm, Diesel like fuel economy. Yes, please. The whole concept of homogenous charge compression ignition has been around for a while, but its implementation in commercial applications has been thwarted by the difficulty of controlling exactly when combustion occurs. With gas engines, spark plugs activate combustion, and with diesels, fuel injection is what sets the controlled explosion off at the right time. With an HCCI engine, theres no single lever to adjust in order to control autoignition. And everything from ambient air temperature and pressure, fuel quality, air fuel ratio, turbocharger boost, engine speed, engine load, and valve timing can affect exactly when this combustion occurs. This means Mazdas new engine will have to carefully dial in some of those parameters to adjust for the variables it cannot control. And sometimes, it will have to forgo compression ignition entirely, and just use a spark plug. Reuterssays part of the reason for the spark plug deals with low temperature combustion concerns, but in our earlier post on this topic, reader jariten. Mazda would go with a spark assisted system, saying My guess is that Mazdas engine is really a spark assisted HCCI engine that uses a regularish port or direct injection spark mode during transients, high load, or other non ideal conditions and only goes into HCCI during relatively steady state low load conditions cruising or idling when environmental conditions are within plannedmeasured parameters. In its release, Mazda does say the new tech offers high efficiency across a wide range of rpms and engine loads, and it would only make sense if that wide range covered normal, low load driving conditions that most of us see day to day. Reader jariten. 17. HCCIs NOx emissions benefits, saying If theyve cracked the nut on HCCI it means lower NOx. The whole idea is that you have an airfuel mixture at just the right conditions that when the piston nears TDC you get simultaneous ignition everywhere. NOx contributor. While Im not an expert on homogenous charge compression engines, all of of this seems to makes sense. The more I read up on this tech, the more I get excited about its implementation in an actual production vehicle. Mazda will tell us more about their new engine tech before the Frankfurt Motor Show later this month, and Ill be there with a pen and a TI 8. GTA Onlines New Battlegrounds Style Mode Is A Lot of Fun. With GTA Onlines July update, Rockstar has added a new mode that seems partially inspired by Battlegrounds, some new and REALLY expensive skins, and a super car. In the new game mode, Dawn Raid, players are split into two teams who have to track down a supply crate and deliver it to a capture point. Like Battlegrounds, players fly into matches on helicopters, and scrounge the terrain for supplies. The maps are all set at night by default, so players are outfitted with night vision and thermal goggles. While these matches only take a few minutes, they feel more tactical than previous GTA Online adversary modes. If players happen to die in Dawn Raid, they will respawn on the helicopter and jump out again. This simple mechanic turns this mode into something incredibly fun and tense. At one point during one of my matches, I was covering a teammate carrying the supplies, when a friend started firing above me. I looked up and saw two enemy players quickly gliding down, opening fire on me. As I took cover behind a rock, another enemy player tried to land behind me, except he came down too fast and died. As I laughed, I was shot in the head and killed. Fortunately, dying in Dawn Raid isnt frustrating having the opportunity to jump out of the helicopter again means you get to decide where to land. Do you want to try and sneak up on someone Or do you help teammates by picking off enemies from a vantage point Spawning in via parachute and frantically looking for supplies while dodging hard to see players with sniper rifles reminded me of the incredibly popular Battlegrounds.

The new 4th of July update also adds some new weapon skins, but they are some of the most expensive items in the game. The last major update for GTA Online, Gunrunning, added Mk. II weapons upgrades, and to celebrate the 4th of July, Rockstar added American flag skins for those weapons. At first, the cost might not seem like much each of the new American flag skins cost 9. Or at least it seems like they only cost that much. There are hidden costs. Before you can buy these new skins, you need to spend 7. Todays Nice Price or Crack Pipe Monte Carlo is for all intents and purposes practically brand new. Lets still see if the price on this Aero Coupe ensures that.

And before you can do that, you need a mobile operations center with a weapon workshop. These large and heavily armored mobile command bases arent cheap. Total cost for the basic Mo. C with weapon workshop will set you back 2,4. But before you can even buy that huge mobile base you will need a decommissioned military bunker. The cheapest one is all the way up north in Paleto Bay and it costs 1,1. Buying a bunker requires you to be VIP, CEO or Biker Leader. The cheapest of these options is becoming a VIP, which only requires players to have 5. So once you have become a VIP or CEO, bought a bunker, bought a mobile operations center, upgraded that mobile center to have a weapon workshop, then upgrade a weapon to Mk. II the total cost of that 9. If you dont want to grind for that cash, it would cost you 6. Shark Cards to purchase everything needed to buy one of these new skins. By contrast, The Dewbauchee Vagner, the new car added this week, costs only costs 1. You could buy two fancy cars with the money it would take to get an American flag on your gun. For the players who have already bought everything in the Gunrunning update, another 9. Still, the price tags attached to new GTA Online items continues to be kinda silly. Expensive weapon skin aside, the new Dawn Raid mode is fantastic. Given that the game is paying out double XP until July 1. GTA Online. Zach Zwiezen is a a writer living in Kansas City, Missouri.
