The possibility of increasing compression ratios by using water as an anti-detonant

Conclusions
(1) Water 1s a knock suppressor.
(2) Water does not act as an anti-detonant by slowing down the rate of flame propagation, but merely removes a portion of the heat of combustion.
(3) Increasing the compression ratio requires a decrease in spark advance. / Master of Science
