I know my father is too, and if he ever gets time, this may pique his interest for tying into the napkin diagrams for gravity batteries he's been working on for the past few years (so far as I know, they haven't moved beyond that point).

There is also the radial engine, mostly used on aircraft, but also on some really wild motorcycles. 5,6.7.9.10, and even a few more cylinders were available. 1 crank for a full set of pistons, occasionally though rarely they can be found with a twin radial setup.

[@raymonroe1983]

Chevrolet had them in at least one truck too but not the most notable.

[@johnd8892]

Also ..The V4 was a mass market motor for Ford, but in Europe and mainly Germany. In the 1962 Ford Taunus then Consul. transit van, and Capri. Later used in the Saab 95,96 and 97 when Saab first moved away from two stroke engines and to the four stroke Ford V4. Possibly at Ford's demonstrated suggestion to sell motors. Was also used in the first Ford Mustang, the mid engined prototype. Was intended for mass sale in the US as the Ford Cardinal with a V4 but Ford eventually went with the Falcon and Cardinal design evolved into the Cortina and Taunus. Sizes from 1.2 to 1.7 litres for all these. UK use in the Ford Corsair and Zephyr mk 4 from the sixties as well as the Transit Van. Lots of Lancias from even the 1920s used a V4. So not just the rare cars shown. Lots of mass market cars. So even the US nearly had lots of Ford V4 Mustangs and Cardinals.

[@alshaver3742]

As always, excellent information and entertainment from Donut. Simple animations were extremely helpful to illustrate your descriptions. A small clarification: All boxers are flat, but not all flat engines are boxers. With the popular Porsche and Subaru boxer powerplants, adjoining cylinders move in opposite directions per your animation. There are, however, flat engines in which adjoining connecting rods share the same crankshaft journal. In these engines, both pistons move right, then both move left. Therefore, their inertia does not cancel out. These engines do not have the inherent balance of a boxer. For example, Ferrari made a 180 degree v-twelve. That's right, a 180 degree Vee. That's another way of saying flat, but adjoining connecting rods share a journal, so it's not a boxer.
