Fully insulated adiabtic blocks. Might work in a maybe in drag racing were the type of fuel like methanol can be used or Diesel engine where the fuel needs high temps to ignite. Wankel would be interesting as it produces too much heat.

In a gasoline engine with temps that high the fuel will detonatate before the piston even reaches TDC. That's isn't just a case an average case of really bad knock, it's your engine internals exploding.

Anyways, piston engines or things of the past. We need to move towards electric cars. Last I heard 2 hr charge at $.50 and you get 40 miles.
