There are also some big companies claiming they achieved 'lean-burn' condition in their engine, but, most of them failed to provide homogeneous air/fuel charge. They utilized the intake-swirling mechanism in order to mix the air/fuel charge. But, the design failed because the time interval for the gas mixtures to mix is way too short.
Here's the system in action:
As you noticed, the gases is being mix inside the combustion chamber. Picture the engine running at high speed, obviously, the gasses have no time to mix properly.
There are some commercial devices claim to improve the turbulence of the intake air. These devices are popularly called as the vortex/cyclone/tornado/swirl/surbo/turbonator and so on.
There plenty of them online, search for it...
The device comes in two versions, solid-state and movable.
Here's some pictures:
These devices works in my experience, at least. But, I would like to further improve the idea.
The Idea
I recently wondered, how on earth did the chemical industry mix two different fluids. After make some research, I found out that they used the device called as 'static mixer'.
The device is ingeneously simple! As the name implied, it have no moving parts to mix various different fluid.

Here's the mixer in action:
In the video, you can see how the mixer mix two different kind of fluids. According to my theory, if the device being used to mix the fuel soon after it being injected with air, it will provide more homogeneous charge for the engine. Thus, enhancing the combustion process.
This will of corse causing an engine fitted with a new kind of intake manifold.
Due to limited funding, my experiment is greatly postpone. So, as the result, the idea is also, haven't being tested.
As usual, please feel free to leave y'all opinions!!
