Has anyone in Bosh paid attention to a small nuance called freezing?

Best part of this video: 13 % less specific fuel consumption, but no word how much the specific fuel consumption is. 245 - 275 g/kwh gasoline is modern standard. Waterinjection is well known since WW2. In 1930 Junkers flying diesel engine had 191 g/kwh... modern diesel cars bestpoint is 205 g/kwh... yeah, what a nice progress in 80 years! It's time to change!

This is why I don't ever take the major auto manufacturers seriously whent hey say a technology won't/can't work. Water injection has been around since at least WWII. They used it on fighters to boost take off HP so they could make short take offs and carrier launches.
We've known about it for over 50 years, it's been used, tested and proven, yet no one has implemented it until now.
Bosch way to go on rediscovering a 50 year old technology and making it seem "new".

I remember in the 1950s my grandfather had water injection on his car. It was a big gallon glass jar filled with water on the firewall with a line to the carburetor.

Same comment as Future3000 - I remember some of the Dodge motorhomes big block - water injected! It's true, they grab onto something old, and make it sound like a "revolution".. hhhmmm...

So, how about splitting the water first into H and O, then injecting THAT into the combustion chamber? Oops, can't do that! You just went too far, & stepped on the toes of the MiB's in charge, putting their gigantic profits at risk! Watch your back!
@Kaido, that was my first thot: "They'd better put a heat on their little water tank for those living north of the Masie-Dixie line..." ☺

This high tech water-injection is great for production engines but... it is anything but new. Water injection has been around for decades. I used water injection on my drag racing GTO back in the 80's.. I was able to dial in more timing advance without pre-detonation and consistently picked up 3/10's of a second in the 1/4 mile. I admit it was a "electronically" (not digital/computer) controlled. I imagine the level of control with which systems can monitor and manipulate these days will greatly benefit this method of combustion control.

Why not just do away with the combustion engine and use an electrical power train instead. Works wonders for Tesla!

Water injection is NOT new!!!! We have ad on kits here in america but is a water/methanol injection. Lots of power and helps keep engine clean(think steam cleaning). This is safer than nitrous is on the engine.

Water Injection of gasoline engines has been around since WW2. Used extensively in large radial engines to boost power during takeoff. Nothing really new here.
