Works in theory but I'd hate to what happens when on of those ring ring gears decides to go.

Nope.

Not even once.

I mean, Boxer engines are basically that only opposed. If you can find a way of mating it to a gearbox and conveniently fit it inside an engine bay then yeah.

Might work if the fire is some sort of nuclear reaction

Air sacs in birds allow air to flow in just one direction through their lungs, known as ‘unidirectional’.

This means that air coming through the lungs is mostly fresh and has a high oxygen content.

In mammals air flow is ‘bidirectional,’ which means it moves back and forth into and out of the lungs.

This means air in a mammal’s lungs is mixed with ‘old air’, which has less oxygen.

For this reason, birds are able to fly at a higher altitude than mammals as they can get more oxygen from the thin air.

Now me and the mad scientist have to rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried!

>>15769548
For some reason, I bet this would work well with an Atkinson-type cycle where the compression stroke only compresses a partial amount of air volume compared to the whole cylinder.

>>15761047
Thing thing that bugs me about this- the little driveshaft or axle part coming off each piston and crank is only supported on the outside. So the force from each piston stroke will be multiplied like a lever and it is going to wreck bearings unless there is a way to support them really well from the inside.

>>15769601
I never understood the purpose of the Atkinson cycle. What makes a higher displacement Atkinson cycle engine better than a lower displacement Otto cycle?

Let's redefine "dorito"

>>15761081
The gears still get smoothed out by the flywheel connected tot he main ring gear. It's just now you have gear teeth which have to bear the load and dampening, rather than a solid crank.

Is there any way to make this work
A tiny five cylinder 1.6l radial would be a fucker of a hatch motor.

>>15773723
If i recall correctly you can't stand still with this thing and it's recommended to drive around in circles at a red light

>>15773723
Obviosly very few people have ridden it (there are 10 left) but most reports say it's very nice to ride because the center of gravity is so low.

>>15761047
It would easily fit in the boot on the drive to the rubbish dump.
