irm750 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I can see how it would work with a turbo/super charger and fuel injection, otherwise the cyclinder would be short charged resulting in twice as many smaller than normal detonations. This would mean that the power wouldn't be much greater than normal but there would be lots more moving parts and greater complexity\cost of manufacture. Interesting though. Ian.

Phil_P Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm sure they can get it to work just fine. Whether they can make it run for longer than ten minutes without breaking or wearing one of those moving parts, I somehow doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
