i have to wonder how difficult it might be to retrofit these to engines we already have....

They say it's down to the size of a spark plug. But I don't know what it would need to feed it? Would be an awsome improvement to ignite the mixture in the middle like they say and multiple sparks/beams to different areas. I think it could be used in any engine but what the manufactures could build an engine around it and new ecm to control it, especially in a direct injection engine!!!
