Mr. Somender Singh's claims are very-very long on rhetoric and very short on facts. Until the broader industry endorses these grooves (I'm thinking highly unlikely) I'm going to state here and now, the grooves are worthless. If any double blind scientific testing is performed which shows me to be wrong I'll gladly retract my statement.

they are, but so is everything else that could b a "changing the world" idea. rotaries, turbine engines in cars, 300 mpg's in the what 30's?

i mean, it makes sence, mixture swirls better, and fire spreads faster, so better economy and/or speed, plus heat is less time so cooler engine. i bet if it does work he's getting shut down actively brah.

no one cares about hho cause its very unbelievable to the public, water yeah right pshhhh. im not sure if it works, but a technical thing people dont understand? sadly, yeah, thats something believable to the random person not knowing bout cars

Sorry, no, it doesn't make sense. Not that anything I say will sway you from what you want to do, however, this is a complete sham.

Fire exploding faster creating more power doesnt make sence?

Im not saying they would double anything, but I do think we would get some major improvements.
Espicially if heads were designed for some deep grooves.

Please understand that NOTHING inside of your engine should be "exploding". When the spark event occurs inside the combustion chamber it ignites a flame front which fans out across the combustion chamber in a radial fashion as a "whoosh" not a "bang". The Honda engineers did a world class job of designing the combustion chambers of our engines to optimize the flam front (hence the fact that we can run "Regular" gasoline in an engine with a high compression ratio) and no Mickey Mouse grooves are going to make it go whoosh any better.

I gotta read more about this. I'm always a skeptic about that kind of thing, but increasing turbulence in the combustion chamber can be a good thing. But 2nd-hand media explanations usually get really twisted beyond recognition.

There's always room for improvement. But there always seems to be a lot of BS hype & exaggeration too. I'll be a skeptic but I still want to read more about it.

I did a bit of reading and benefits appear to be idle stability and reduction of ignition knock. It looks credible, but mostly anecdotal reports w/ few hard facts.

good luck

Rule of thumb; anecdotal reports + few hard facts = scam.

Add to that a pretty fair study of combustion science and you come up with double scam.
