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 ...

If you are a motorhead, an unusual engine will immediately get your attention. Most vehicles today have either an inline or V-shaped configuration, so anything peculiar will immediately stick out. If ...

The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...

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 ...

Years ago, the choice was clear: When it came to 2 stroke vs 4 stroke outboard motors, 2 stroke won every time. Two stroke motors offered a better power-to-weight ratio, were cheaper to manufacture, ...

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, ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night worried that you have never, ever changed the oil on your two-stroke lawnmower? Well, you can relax. A two-stroke oil change is like a left-handed ...

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 ...

Ready for some math? Porsche just patented an engine design titled: "Method for a Combustion Machine With Two Times Three Strokes." Huh? As the opening paragraph of the patent (filed jointly with ...

It's been a long time since the automotive world has bothered with the mixing of oil and gas of the two-stroke combustion cycle — but soon, it may come time to rid ourselves of four-stroke engines, if ...
