I was doing some more research today and came across the "Scuderi air hybrid engine" that has capabilities to reach 100:1 compression ratio! It also fires after top dead center.

It's supposedly 70% cleaner and capable to produce huge amounts of power. They are talking about powering a bus with a 2.0 four cyl lol

Also, it turns out you can convert any engine into an air hybrid engine.. read this

Anyone heard of this? I about fell over when I seen it could do 100:1 compression ratio, and then it fires after TDC wow man... I can't wait! They say it will be easy to retool to produce,because it uses basically the same parts we use today.

The coolest part about this engine is you can tap the air compressor tank to fill tires, run tools, etc. How cool is that!

How much power can we create with 100:1 compression ratio? Is this going to yield like 10,000+ hp?
