If only. I do tend to think this is a piss take, sounds too good to be true and you know what they say about that.
Although I have been spouting on about this for a while now, electric direct to ethanol, then burn it efficiently, returning the carbon from whenst it came. Not fresh from out of the ground.
Why the fuck didnt moto GP do this years ago with the 250 class instead of making them all big fat fourstrokes.
Keep the twostroke but bang some emmission rules on it, see where it leads. It would have been far more exciting, and usefull. Yay for Honda, barstards.
rejigged a bit
https://www.cycleworld.com/story/bik...manent-crisis/Tappered oil-scraper rings at the top of each piston and an up-passing taper below the wrist pin, the idea being to trap enough oil between those taper-faced scrapers,, to maintain full-film lubrication. The idea has appeal, but it didn’t work; the scoring continued.
I know according to Cameron it didn't work on a 54.8L B29 engine but what about on a Feltner KISS101.
The great thing about induction motors is that they can act as a generator with the same output as they are rated at as a motor. In my case it is a 5.6 kW (7.5 hp in the old days) 3000 rpm device. Acting as a motor, it will run at slightly less than the synchronous speed (the slip difference) say 2950 rpm when under load. In reverse, it can absorb up to the 5.6 kW, but at a speed slightly above the synchronous speed, say 3050 rpm. The electrical power being generated goes back into the mains, turning your meter backwards....nice.
So, we have a single speed dyno. Hence the stepped pulley to alter the engine speed.
How to measure power absorbed. Two ways:
1. Trunnion mount the motor and fit it with a torque arm and load cell/scale
2. Simply measure the current output of the motor. Dunno about the accuracy, but in my case it is just a comparator. Old elec motors are cheap particularly in my case, being a bit of a hoarder, it was already in stock.

Someone (Agnes AKA @ Stroke Stuffing) has one with the tire running on the Armature direct as ABB has conveniently already calculated the inertia of it.
It has built in robust bearing and is balanced for high speed so it made a nice Dyno.

On the uni I was attending there was a doctor case about a 2t with valve in piston crown if You can find those docs here's the numbers http://bibliografia.ath.bielsko.pl/c...nik+dwusuwowy+
I remember that design by Draper?? - just sold that book (was it an orange hardback)along with about a dozen others) but that was just a proposed or suggested design, difference between that and reality! - I used to think it would soon be in production - yeah right!
Strokers Galore!
