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.
