EGR valve, engine maintenance
a: An EGR valve ~
b: Trying to run your gas grill with burned gas
What: "Using an EGR valve is like trying to run your gas grill with burned gas
fumes, instead of fresh propane. It just doesn't burn after it's been
burned once already. It was a way to get combustion temperatures down
in the engine, by extinguishing the flame front a bit with exhaust gas-
otherwise they'd have to inject something else in there to cool the
burn,"

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
