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
