1. a predictive combustion device, comprising:
- a data acquisition unit having an input at which is to be incident a signal received from a first sensor related to a characteristic to be considered in a combustion event, an output at which is to be incident a signal related to a physical component of the combustion event, and a processor containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
predict a future state of the characteristic to be considered in the combustion event; and
provide the signal at the output related to the physical component of the combustion event based on the predicted state of the characteristic.
