my new motor. This is no wimp engine.
It's a two cylinder with four pistons delivering 300+ Horse Power
It's extremely small and very efficient and is presently in use in test applications
The configuration below is equivalent to a extremely ballsy four cylinder engine
When doubled, it's an extremely ballsy 600+ H.P. engine

It has been done before... but not using a single crank. If you think this is a crazy design you should see how a Deltic works. Also this engine is a 2 stoke, and last I checked 2 strokes are not EPA friendly... not that that matters here.

We got the same reaction when we built a gun that doesn't use gunpowder. Neat stuff there.

Can they make it narrow enough for a car that isnt 7' wide? Needs to fit between the front tires. Hope so because it looks like a killer concept. Nice and simple with performance, kinda like an aircooled that puts out :mrgreen:
