  • What if you put another one on top, so as to make an '8'?

  • @killytbe6

    that would be better because of the force free center. But still more comlicated. If you're still interested I can inform you about the 4-stroke version when it's patented ;)

  • somebody build this already

  • @killytbe6

    who? Do u have a vid?

  • @ioanniosif

    Thanks for your comment. The control of this engine is not easy. Google "Free Piston Engine" to learn how this works. The Swing Free Piston Engine is just a special form which can be EASILY BALANCED by adding a counter rotating generator rotor.

  • many small stationary single cylinder engines are unbealanced ever since. That doesn't harm their usage.

  • i see this as fairly plausible, except for there is nothing spinning to drive anything

  • @io9487 no as in 'somebody hurry up and build this already!'

  • Turn to the right, turn to the left, why do you think it works

  • @tthhnnee im assuming it won't hit the heads just due to the compression but if there is something wrong with one cylinder there's gonna be issues

  • I like the Idea, but how do you manage to avoid piston hitting top cylinder wall? for instance in case of a missfire of one of the pistons?
