ESE's works engine tuner

I know its modeled just for the patent, but the cylinder casting design could have been much prettier with gussets etc.

Will the top oil scraper directly connect the supercharged inlet port to the exhaust via the small oil scraper groove drain holes?

Is the electric assist motor the Novel part or is it's novelty all the past ideas in that specific combination?

[Flettner]

Why are we so hooked on loop scavenge?

That was my thought too. Very little there that wasn't done by DKW pre WW2.

Because it passes KISS.


I was originally trying to work a 'I have schnuerl idea' pun but it didn't look as good typed and I couldn't decide on how much to abbreviate.

Dave, Dave, Dave, it's ASS…..Another Schnurle System..

Doesn't seemed to have learned anything from the abject failure the VDue was with direct cylinder injection.
His design destroyed Bimota , who is paying for this.

It may be the third time the definitive one, Bimota, Gas Gas and now this
In the patent there is hardly anything new, that we have not seen in other projects, if the one that is V-twin and direct injection

[Flettner]

How is OP uniflow not KISS?
No worse than any twin cylinder loop scavenge, two single cylinder cranks, no heads, crank joining gears can be clutch gear water pump gear etc, no balance shaft needed ... and is rated as a single cylinder. One combustion chamber. Standard crankcase charging. Exhaust throttling, jetfire ignition.

And a side benifit, the cylinder is priced as a single cylinder for plating.

Your wonderful words about the OP Uniflow mechanism, have led me to wonder why the 1951 piaggio OP engine was not commercialized (I have a lot of love for vespas, because it was the first motorcycle I got on, in my childhood my brother and I played with the one my father had before buying the first car, the reason for buying the car was my arrival since the family increased to 3 children and my mother did not have as many arms to hold us, leading to the abandonment of the scooter in the patio where years later my brother and I used to play with her pushing each other).

I think I found the answer in my memories too, at the beginning of my youth I was lucky enough to be able to disassemble an engine that they had given us to make us a kart, the engine in question was the ISO of Italian origin, Uniflow two-cylinder, this engine allowed me see how the non-asymmetrical system works, it is not an OP engine, but it works the same.

My conclusion is that the basic rule of two stroke was imposed, which is the same as the famous Ockham's razor

Prepared and ready to test a batch of pipes I built at an eddy current engine dyno. All four sets of pipes have the same tuned length from piston to end of convergent cone and share the same dwell and convergent cones, thus all four also carry 66 % end of diffuser and 77 % end of dwell. Two sets have 33.5 % headers and two sets have 31.5 % headers. Two sets have two stage diffusers and two sets have three stage diffusers. I have added provisions for tophat nozzles to Optimize the bleed orfice. In hind sight there are things I would have done differently for this test, but I believe I will take home a lot of usable data.
Now I just hope the 75 % exhaust chordal width keeps the ring in. I have had great results with such wide ports in the past, however this was the last time I will ever send a cylinder to millennium. Royal disaster of a chamfer job, completely changing the geometry, even after I left them several notes with my instructions.

[HenkS]

75% cord wide don't need to be a problem, when executed correctly.
Several years used 74.5%, never broke rings.
Power gain is more than 5%

Opposed piston 2 stroke engines could be a very interesting topic, the other topics not so much...

I would love to go but am to old.
Can You please give link to procedings of 2018 and 2020?

Anyone going this year?

I have found them thank You and have seen that the two radical innovations are 0pp0sed piston engines with electric generators instead of gears for power take off and sidevalved two stroke engines.
The OP elecsyn was demonstrated by me around 1994 and the sidevalve thing schemed first by me around 2015.Innovators do not get rich and rewarded but it is quite nice to feel smarter than the average.
