Ok, look carefully at the part of the cycle where air enters and smoke exits from the combustion chamber: there's no net push in the cylinder heads at that point, so power is lost. There's no way this could possibly be more efficient than existing Wankel or Piston (Otto) engines unless inlet/outlet ports be relocated to provide a net inlet suction step and a outlet push step separately. That's only my 2 cents, though...
@AceofSpadesau Look up the TS4 in particular. It never went into production, the yanks killed it off when it put their rubbish diesel engines to shame after they took over the Rootes group, It would have been fantastically powerfull for its size. Theres some vid of one running somwhere on the web, sounds like an F1 engine!
So its just another layout of a 2 stroke, why would you ? Will you still not have to burn the lub oil ? Will you now just have problems of generating the bore & piston form ? Why is this better than a wankel ? Why is this better than a Napier Deltic ?
@magna59: The main problem with 2-strokes is scavenging (unburnt fuel exiting thru the exhaust port as both intake and exhaust ports are open at the same time) - this can be solved using direct gasoline injection.
It is better than a Wankel as this design could simply use the same piston rings as those used in a conventional piston engine.
As for the burning oil problem: I wouldn't consider that to be easy to solve.
@magna59: Well now that I think of it: since the crank-case and the cylinders are completely separate (instead of the crank-case being inside of the engine's main shell), you shouldn't have any oil entering the cylinder.

Did you do this on SolidWorks? What CAD program did you use?

Someone needs to look up the old commer knocker motors.

If you could stop the insane friction & vibration it MIGHT be efficient....
