The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight packages. Unfortunately, gas two-strokes also burn oil by design, making them ...
In this video, we explore the workings of four-stroke and two-stroke engines, highlighting their differences, benefits, and drawbacks. The four-stroke engine completes its combustion cycle in four ...
How hard could it to be to build a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) from scratch? This is a challenge that [Camden Bowen] gladly set for himself, while foregoing such obvious wastes of time ...
What if the engine of the future wasn’t just a dream, but a reality? Imagine a power source that combines the raw, exhilarating performance of a two-stroke engine with innovative efficiency, ...
The best Cummins diesel engines are the result of decades of innovation, which all began with founder Clessie Cummins. They also have a history of racing at the Indianapolis 500. In 1934, Cummins ...
It looks like GM is working on modernising two-stroke engines by tackling their emissions problem. This could open a whole new chapter for internal combustion. It’s been a while since two-stroke ...
Recently [Camden Bowen] took a swing at machining a two-stroke engine out of billet aluminium, following adventures in 3D printing such an engine, as well as building one out of parts largely sourced ...
Traditional Two-Stroke Engine Issues A traditional two-stroke engine has the piston pushing down after firing, moving past an exhaust port and allowing the exhaust gases to leave the chamber.
