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 ...

The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...

Years ago, the choice was clear: When it came to 2 stroke vs 4 stroke outboard motors, 2 stroke won every time. Two stroke motors offered a better power-to-weight ratio, were cheaper to manufacture, ...

What if the engine of the future wasn’t just a dream, but a reality? Imagine a power source that combines the raw, exhilarating performance of a two-stroke engine with innovative efficiency, ...

How hard could it to be to build a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) from scratch? This is a challenge that [Camden Bowen] gladly set for himself, while foregoing such obvious wastes of time ...

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 ...
