This is a video in responce to a question in the Q&A video I did in April. This is an engine design that I worked on for about 18 months back when I was a junior engineer. The concept was to have a diuble ended piston in one cylinder. Because there is one 'piston' per cylinder you could (loosely) call the engine a 1 stroke.
If people are interested in the design and want to know more or have more detailed questions I can do follow-up videos.
In the end the engine has some flaws that are hard to work around, so to this end I abandoned the idea. One of these days I may build the engine as part of a proto-type video series, but we'll have ot wait and see if that ever happens.
