[W126 Coupe] FW: A VERY New Engine

[Ronny 560sec]

That principle is to my knowledge not that new.
I have been a merchant marine ships engineer and in the early sixtieth we had two oil tankers with British Doxford Engines.
Two pistons in one cylinder moving in opposite directions and two fuel injectors in the middle of the cylinder housing.
The engine was also turbo charged and it ran on cheap heated oil and diesel.

Not SEC related (yet) but an interesting concept I thought you guys and gals might be interested in.  Probably many of you are already aware of it.

  .A VERY New Engine 

  .

                                Amazing engineering! Very interesting concept.

                                I hope DARPA goes ahead with the development.

                                Looks like a great aircraft engine to me.

                                This is no wimp engine.  
                                It's a two cylinder with four pistons delivering 300+ Horse Power
                                It's extremely small and very efficient and is presently in use in test applications
                                The configuration below is equivalent to a extremely ballsy four cylinder engine
                                When doubled, it's an extremely ballsy 600+ H.P. engine


                                Its called OPOC (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder), and its a turbocharged two-stroke, two-cylinder, with four pistons, two in each cylinder, that will run on gasoline, diesel or ethanol. The two pistons, inside a single cylinder, pump toward and away from each other, thus allowing a cycle to be completed twice as quickly as a conventional engine while balancing it's own loads.
                                The heavy lifting for this unconventional concept was performed Prof. Peter Hofbauer. During his 20 years at VW, Hofbauer headed up, among other things, development of VWs first diesel engine and the VR6.
                                The OPOC has been in development for several years, and the company claims its 30 percent lighter, one quarter the size and achieves 50 percent better fuel economy than a conventional turbo diesel engine.
                                Theyre predicting 100 MPG in a conventional car.
