    A little more information please.
    You've convinced me to go over to the dark side, now I'm intrigued by the opposite piston engines

    As we can see, it is 125 with two pistons and if we compare the power figures with that of the garelli 125 with two pistons, it does come out very poor.

    CECI, It certainly apears to be OP but its not Uniflow scavenge. An exhaust port at each end?
    I've reviewed this drawing again, now Im not sure what Im looking at.

    Vespa 1951. one off (well two actually) for a streamliner. 125cc set a record of 172km/h. looks like at least one version of the engine was uniflow. I'll dig up a picture from a book

    Does that drawing make sense to you guys? (perhaps I'm a little slow of course!) - but as I see it, - if those are exhaust ports then they sure won't work very well in that position!

    the pistons are are BDC in the drawing, those two conical ports are piston port intakes. the top view shows the exhaust and transfers better.

    This is what I think are the answers to the questions I posed:
    The patent does not show what make and model of motorcycle they tested (it could possibly be an MZ).
    The data is given based on speed, which indicates that this data was possibly in a band of 2450 rpm (in this rpm range, the crankcase is still pumping).
    The operation of a standard engine from 1981 is very similar to that of a trial motorcycle (the power in trial bikes has not increased the power from that time to the present), as you can see in the graph of the GasGas TXT gives the 90% of torque before 2000rpm.
    The data on the reduction of consumption are true (the mechanism works since the crankcase pumps precompression)
    The reason why it did not succeed is that it works at a low rpm, but to reach maximum power more rpm is needed (here the crankcase no longer pumps enough precompression).
    I arrived at these beliefs based on data from SAE papers 960365
    Diaphragm Fuel Injection System (DFI)
    for Stratified-Charging of Small
    Two-Stroke Gasoline Engine

    Ok, after enlarging things some more I can now see that, - and BTW it was due to failing eyesight rather than a failing brain! (I hope).

    Mind fart, must be a dozen things wrong with it, already thought about/ discussed many times perhaps, will post anyway

    Ps: Don't mind the details plz.

    Puting some water cooling galleries in, air only case so some cooling will be beneficial. OP uniflow.

    Many decades ago I took a keen interest in Egyptology, and in particular the exploits of the early European explorers tackling the mysteries of the Pyramids.
    I`m minded of an opinion which might be attributed to Belzoni or perhaps Champollion, I can`t recall which, or perhaps neither. This quote is from a letter to one of their sponsors lamenting that he has been unable to discover an unviolated royal tomb, ”My dear friend I fear that to be Pyramidially extant is a fallacy in duration”. A goal hoped for but seemingly unattainable.
    Whilst being a noble cause I fear the climate change lobby will prevail and our two-stroke engines will be further marginalised and eventually outlawed. Just how “clean” can a clean two stroke engine ever be?
    Will there otherwise be a truly viable and commercial engine that will not violate some international emission standard or is the whole matter still, a fallacy in duration?
    After saying that, this is an absolutely terrific thread, a whole bunch of skilled, clever people brain storming to a common purpose but with lots of peripheral interest to draw in the inquisitive. One more reason why the whole KB site is the premier exemplar to go to be informed and educated.

    The only chance is ligth aircraft propulsion.
    One liter of avgas contains one gram of lead that is an absolute no no everywhere else.
    Why is this sector not regulated?
    Because it is playground for the rich and few.
    The electric motors(and generators) to day are so light that combustion engine-generator(s)-propmotor is a possibility.
    In that case opposed piston two stroke gas engines make sense.
