I bet you wish that you could push that piston further down. But what would you see? Let me tell you: nothing out of the ordinary.
Even with the piston at BDC you would not notice that it is a Ryger engine...[/QUOTE]
Thinking out loud........What constitutes a duct by the homologation standards. Is it any passage connecting point a and b, and or does "duct" refer to a passage whose function is controlled in time? If there are 11 ducts and 6 of them do not terminate in the cylinder anywhere above the piston. There only remains a couple locations left to be connected.... 1. The inlet to transfer ports. 2. The ex port to either the transfers or inlet...... The answer to their location would have to lay in what purpose could be served by any of these areas being connected. Maybe the 2 aux ex ports are still visible at BDC but have been altered to serve another function. Might cut outs on the pistons O.D. function as valves to control any of these ducts. If Rygers view from above the piston has the appearance of a std transfer layout, it must either employ another method of timing the transfer flow (maybe reeds were the correct answer) or some of the transfers are not flowing fresh mixture.

I love my smokers...
If there is puls charge in the ryger, there should be no real reason, to separate the crankcase. In my opionion this is only for oil seperation.
Maybe you guys remember that post with a rised C port, some posts ago, where Frits asked for the source...
If i had time, i would try the following:
1) Close the big inlet ports under the c Port with epoxy
2) raise c port some mm in steps
3) reduce the boyesenports in diameter with epoxy, to see the influence, and let the "c port chamber" do the breathing
4) Kill the blowdown and raise a and b Port in steps, and load the ducts with exhaust pressure.
When the blowdown process goes on, i would hope for a dynamic and massive reverse flow...
The Ryger story about to unfold reminds me of the Norwegian classic "Flåklypa Grand Prix" (Pinchcliffe Grand Prix).
Don't think Reodor Felgen cared much for the KISS principle tho...

I think the single exhaust makes sense to me. So no eyes or other aux ports for the exhaust,maybe it just does not need it in the current Kart configuration. Maybe for a higher power output engine they may need more time area. We do not know. All is just speculation. My view is that they have a ring of reed valves in that block. 5 will connect to the standard type of transfer ports, I also believe these are pre set with a specific amount of
tension. The other 6 ports are also reed controlled to feed the volume that then inturn gets very pressurised just before the transfers open. It is also my belief that the Ryger system does not use ambient ex pressure to increase the transfer port pressure like any regular crankcase 2 stroke engine does, piped or not. There are your 11 ports. 6 inlets will be required to increase the time area. If the pipe really does pull a big negative pressure it will still pull air through the preloaded inlet reeds, but I do not think that is actually happening. The inlet super fog created by the mixture being forced through the effective 3 sets of reeds then just sits in the cylinder like a low weather system being retained by a high in the pipe. At the upper end, as the ex closes, hot ex gas then enter the cylinder, mixes and then the HCCI ignition becomes a reality. As HCCI is the fastest form of ignition and combustion known, and is very clean and complete burning. This is the real trick to the system, as spark ignition in reality is still very inefficient,so is glow plugs, which is why diesel engines are more efficient in both model engines and full size, right up to ship engines. The Ryger is probably the 1st carburetor engine to be able to utilise HCCI, the system is simple, and it makes you think why did I not think of that. I think what I have out lined is very close to what they do, it is simple, none of it has really been done before in this configuration. It is also something that makes me think, wow, why did I not come up with that idea to super mix air fuel mixture .An existing cylinder and crank case assembly can be retrofitted to take advantage of this system. So a conversion is just a new piston,conrod, spacer/valve plate and some cylinder lower end rework.

Maybe so, but as Wob has pointed out, there's no reed plate flange visible between carb and barrel in pics published...
Which at least makes the reed's location possibly out of the ordinary.
And can we take this as confirmation that there is a reed valve somewhere in the inlet tract ?
