Hey all

 

Well, Ive been thinking again with the motor designs, and i thought of another idea.

Now, I'm not sure if its considered a 2 stroke..? (see pic)

 

Anyway!

 

My idea is simply a cylinder, big inlet port & valve on left, and Big exhaust port & valve on right with a big spark plug up the top... (as in pic )

 

Would this work? would more valves instead of 1 big 1 for each inlet / exhaust?

 

Yes / no ?

 

thanks !

I don't see how that would have any advantage to a traditional style cylinder with the valves on the top? Besides, in your design how would the valves open when the cylinder moves up?

I agree once the piston is past halfway up the cylinder what use are the valves - there would be MASSIVE compression inthe top third of the cylinder and only the sparkplug opening to release it

theres something already been designed like that. Its known as a 2 stroke diesel. Very efficent engine.

 

Basically it has exhaust ports and valves up the top, inlet ports down the bottom which are opened and closed by the piston. They only work with forced induction. Usually found in very large motors...i.e. locomotives etc

Apparently some guy down south has invented a compressed air rotory engine.

 

No emissions!

/me reads the obituarys .... he'll show up in there soon
