A New Engine ! Interesting!
The applications are unlimited!
Saving the World Two Strokes at a Time

This is no wimp engine.
It's a two cylinder with four pistons delivering 300+ Horse Power
It's extremely small and very efficient and is presently in use in test
applications
The configuration below is equivalent to a extremely ballsy four cylinder
engine
When doubled, it's an extremely ballsy 600+ H.P. engine
It's called OPOC (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder), and it's a turbocharged
two-stroke, two-cylinder, with four pistons, two in each cylinder, that will
run on gasoline, diesel or ethanol. The two pistons, inside a single cylinder,
pump toward and away from each other, thus allowing a cycle to be completed
twice as quickly as a conventional engine while balancing it's own loads.
The heavy lifting for this unconventional concept was performed Prof. Peter
Hofbauer. During his 20 years at VW, Hofbauer headed up, among other things,
development of VW's first diesel engine and the VR6.
The OPOC has been in development for several years, and the company claims
it's 30 percent lighter, one quarter the size and achieves 50 percent better
fuel economy than a conventional turbo diesel engine.
They're predicting 100 MPG in a conventional car.
