Two Stroke Engine

Basics

• An engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes
• Merges intake and compression, and merges expansion/power and exhaust
• Simpler, perhaps more efficient/powerful (the debate/maths on this is complex, needs to be adressed/researched later).
• Not very common, but mainly in small engines (lawn mowers etc), and in most Opposed Cylender engines
