Piston port induction conversion. There have been a few built over the years. There is one pictured on the TD page of Hepperle's site.

Just looked it up and it's Andrew Coholic's conversion from 1999.
Thanks everyone!

I just looked again and see it's identified as SP .049, Side Port. Coholic's used a TD case, while this one uses Space Hopper parts.

Re: Does anyone know what this contraption is???
My bad, the .049 that looks like my .15 Sportsman is a Space-Hopper, https://sceptreflight.com/Model%20Engine%20Tests/Cox%20Spacehopper.html as mentioned by @gkamysz.
The experimental sideport is an interesting concept, but overall, the sideports although considered easy starting (Fox .09 Rocket and AC Gilbert Thunderheads come to mind), they were not that powerful.
If I had a Space-Hopper, I'd keep its reed valve and rest as original.
