Comment on The Engine of our dreams exists. It's Clean, Powerful, Supercharged and 2 Stroke
LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 1 month agoI’m curious if this actually ends up being significantly lighter though.
I doubt it’ll end up replacing a conventional two stroke motorcycle, as it’s far more complex. But I could see it used in aircraft.

People will go to some great lengths for a little extra performance. Think of the Wankel engine, this is basically the same sort of power/weight improvement but it’s immensely less complicated and more practical with this 2 stroke engine. But that Wankel today engine has actually gone into mass production in a few cases, notably in the much loved Mazda RX-7.
And let me be clear, this 2 stroke is far more practical than the rotary Wankel engine.
