Outrageous 500 two-stroke!

[Edbear]

Was it Douglas that did a transverse shaft flat twin? About 500cc?

[Ocean1]

*Looks*

Yup.

Think there was a Murkin one too but I can't remember the name.

I'd like to see it running. I guess it's like a stationary rotary engine?

It looks suspiciously like a concept bike rather than something that you could actually ride. I mean just imagine the fun of fuel injection on an X layout. And how do you arrange the firing. Screamer, big bang? I guess I can't see what it's trying to achieve.

.. Screamer, big bang? ...

Yup! In that order...

Yup! In that order...

And hospital shortly thereafter no doubt!

This is actually a 3D render. All of these images. As far as I can tell there is no physical prototype - at least not in this bunch of images. I am a 3D artist by trade, and there are many signs that this is a render. Maybe the concept is cool, but I doubt there is a real prototype.

Enough said.

(Had me fooled thought it was a real bike...)

The images in the article are computer rendered i.e. not photographs.

I suspect that it might be a while before we see one of them actually running.

So have you put your order in then Mike?

You started on strokers so at your fine old age you should be looking at finishing on them.

Sort of like closing the circle

it'll probably never get into production as a blue smoke but why not use the same X design for a 4 stroke?

skinny like a britten but twice as many cylinders, probably two pair of horizontally opposed pistons so it'd have massive torque too.

i've toyed with the idea of making a 1000cc vee twin blue smoke for a few years but first I might just see if i can buy back the alloy/titanium ducati powered bike Mike Broz and I built.

Would be nice to see ythat bike. Heard about it for a while now.

Good luck

Ah so another death machine just like the RG, and the H1 and H2.

Awesome bikes though...

Have a look at page 46 of this PDF http://www.konstrukcjeinzynierskie.p...website_LQ.pdf
then you may understand why it is a dead dog. Effectivly it has stationery pistons and moving cylinders, whith truckloads of reciprocating mass and many potential stress risers (places that cause cracks) the cylinders have to be massive as they contain the charge pumping , which is normally carried out by the crankcase. This engine would likley be difficult to coolast the heat has to be conducted through a sleeve before getting into the "cylinder"
I guess with Cad you can design the craziest things with no regard to their workings

Guttered that it only puts out 110 hps from 500 ccm...

Hardly worth having, but I guess they wouldn't go for ultimate HP if they wanted longevity

Look up Krauser,Swissauto, or ADM they were 500cc two strokes used in sidecars untill the nineties pumping out 200+ HP
