See my post on the JOE video regarding the Tilling Stevens TS3 3-cylinder lorry engine of the 1970s. And don't listen to these idiots who don't know what they're talking about! elperiyas - the power to make compression comes from kinetic energy stored by the flywheel, as it does in almost ALL reciprocating internal combustion engines!
Petter engines in the UK also made this type of 3 cyl engine. Mainly used on pumps & some gensets. As a road engine, real good, but poor maintenance by some opperators, caused runaway problems & gave it a lot of bad press. The design seemed to fizzle out in a short period of time. Another interesting one is the leyland L60 tank engine. 6cyl, 12 pistons, 2 crankshafts & lots of noise! Funnily enough, the tank engine was a copy pretty much of a Junkers aero engine used in Dornier bombers in ww2.
I have The Roots Booklet on this engine if anyone would like to see it I could upload it, with lot of technical info. just in case you ask its not for sale.. This engine was streaks ahead of any rivals. at the time power to weight ratio of the two stroke was good servicing was easy shame it was not developed further
@1stMrSceptical I would like to have a copy of the booklet for my own reading. Would it possible to send a copy of it to mekanizmalar at gmail dot com. Thanks
@mekanizmalar is very dificult to me exprex that in englis , but where the power for make the compresion , because dont have an other piston in oposite time or in oder time for make the compresion , so if the power of the cranksaft makes the cilinders compresion , it rest a part of the torke ( i think ) and maby no very eficient,
Nice animation. In the real engine the exhaust lead is achieved by lowering the crank slightly. This means tghe exhaust rod reaches its peak just before the inlet, but on that engine the exhaust and inlet are on opposite sides to yours.
Engine design pioneered by Sulzer, made famous by Rootes as the TS3 Commer 'knocker' engine. 3.3 litres, 120bhp typical output.
The animation is good but somewhat wrong. The pistons are slightly asynchronous. The exhaust piston opens for exhaust ports before the intake piston opens for intake, and again closes the exhaust ports before the intake ports are closed. This is to a) allow for blowdown of the cylinder, lowering the pressure before air intake, and b) allow for overpressuring the cylinder slightly. Without this asynchronicity the pressure in the cylinder would be too high for proper scavenging.
@joffeloff Yes you are absolutely right, there is a problem in there. I should admire your attention. When I looked the video after your comment I could not see the problem. However when I run my flash animation very slowly I was able to see the problem. Thank you for giving me this valuable feedback.

Are we allowed to build this engine! Is it already patented?

@MWSDJS0677 I think you can build one if you want to. It is an old idea.

What is the purpose of this video ?, is like a joke , or you think it realy works ?

@elperiyas No its is not a joke. This engine really works and called as The Commer TS design.

Is it a 2 stroke engine?
Since an Power Stroke is in the same stroke in exhaust stroke,
and the intake is in the same in kompresion stroke.
Great Video Animation.
I have my own axial piston engine and looking conversion motion from alternating horizontal motion to a circular motion (like yours),
and I foundit very useful for me, Thxa a lot budy.

@herbid68 Yes it is two stroke engine. Thanks for your good comment.
