Proton & Piston

Hey, ever wondered if quantum tunneling could make a car engine burn fuel more cleanly? Imagine electrons jumping over activation barriers in the combustion chamber, cutting waste and boosting power. Think it could give a lap-time edge?

Yeah, I’ve heard the chatter, but in the garage we measure real numbers, not quantum leaps. Electrons hopping over a barrier ain’t gonna cut out the soot or change the stoichiometry any more than a slicker camshaft. If anything, it’s a fancy headline, not a lap‑time boost. The only thing that really gives us an edge is a clean intake, proper timing, and a tire that’s got the right pressure. Quantum tunneling is cool, but when you’re chasing seconds on a track, you’ll find the grease and a good tune more reliable than any subatomic trick.
