=Basics=
*A piston consisting of one or more cylinders each containing two opposed pistons wach, with combustion occuring in between them
*Thus these have no cylinder heads
*Thus these have less friction + heat waste/loss
*Simple Uniflow Two Stroke Pattern

=Advantages=
*These have no cylinder heads thus these have less friction + heat waste/loss
*Smaller Size
*Simpler Design
*High Efficiency

=Disadvantages=
*May need 2 Crankshafts and/or more gears
