I can imagine how this can be translated into the internal combustion engine dynamics.

Experiment shown present of water vapor aided frame front propagation of CO+O2 to CO2 conversion. During a normal combustion cycle starting from the onset of spark, the production of water vapor is continuous from the product of air and fuel. I can see a distinct advantage if there are presence of excess oxygen. In a fuel rich condition in a oxygen limited closed chamber, most of the CO just exits the engine via the exhaust pipe.

This is just a brief conclusion from reading the article briefly. Please chime in if you view it differently.
I view it the same way.

Fragmented combustion in a ICE is the reason why there is CO, HC,02,NOX left after combustion. I built a fragmented to Supersonic Injector for high speed combustion. Ran a big V8 engine for 20 minutes with it in garage with door shut. Any CO I'd be dead right now. Don't try this at home!!
Over on engine tips forum they say 0% humidity is when you get most power. Can't find info on that. Do you have info on that?
