We've seen many engine configurations come and go, with some being more noteworthy than others and some being just outrageous. Honda attempted to modify the shapes of the pistons used in its engine, ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

This paper presents a single-cycle gas simulation of the scavenging process in a twostroke cycle engine. The apparatus used is described in the most detailed fashion and the experimental procedure is ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 107, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1998), pp. 967-977 (11 pages) This paper focused experimental and theoretical studies on the effects of air-head stratified scavenging and ...

Unit shown in the bottom of the photograph has been removed to show operation of the V-drive which is base of V-four engine.Ring gear shown on lower shaft of top unit is driven by a pinion mounted to ...

The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight packages. Unfortunately, gas two-strokes also burn oil by design, making them ...

If you’re shopping for a new fishing boat or an outboard motor to power it, one of the decisions you’ll have to make is between a 2 stroke vs 4 stroke engine. Unless you’re going electric, this choice ...

Motorcycles weren't always the monocoque-framed, wide-tired, 200-mph speed machines you see today. In fact, the origins of the motorcycle date back to two-wheeled experiments in personal ...

The debate over two-stroke engine pollution at Lake Tahoe will soon be argued statewide, after a California assemblywoman introduced a bill Monday that would ban two-cycle engines from any lake that ...

It's been a long time since the automotive world has bothered with the mixing of oil and gas of the two-stroke combustion cycle — but soon, it may come time to rid ourselves of four-stroke engines, if ...
